Lots of people love to cruise; more than 31 million people around the world are cruising during 2023. But if you haven’t cruised yet, you may wonder if it’s the right vacation for you. Here are three big reasons why the answer may be an enthusiastic “yes!”
First, there’s
a cruise for just about any budget. Cruises of two or three days are available
for very budget-friendly fares. And while longer cruises cost more, even “world
cruises” that take a few leisurely months to circle the globe provide great value.
Remember that lots of great dining and entertainment, as well as your
accommodations and transportation between ports, are included in the base
cruise fare.
While the
length of a cruise is a major factor in the cost, cruise fares also reflect the
level of luxury on board, the time of year, and the ports of call. A
professional travel advisor with expertise in cruising can help you determine
what cruise lines, ships, and itineraries best fit your budget and expectations.
Second, cruise
ships are so full of activities that everyone can find something to do. Most
ocean-going ships have some combination of swimming pools, whirlpools, sports courts, fitness centers, spas, theaters, art galleries, restaurants, libraries,
cocktail lounges, and more. Some larger ships have utterly amazing features like
water parks, gardens, and go-kart tracks.
Many ships
offer supervised activities just for kids, and adults can join in the fun of tournaments,
dance lessons, cooking demonstrations, and more. But if your vacation goal is to
simply disconnect and relax, you’ll be able to find a quiet corner for that,
too.
What we’ve
discussed so far can also be said about many land-based resorts, but here’s a third
big reason to cruise – you can visit multiple destinations without having to
unpack, repack, and find your way from one place to another. Just get on board, settle
into your stateroom, and let the captain do the work for you from one beautiful
port to the next. The ship will often be on the move while you’re sleeping, so
you can wake up ready to explore a new place.
