Cruises offer a unique vacation experience. You can visit numerous ports of call while only unpacking your suitcase once. In addition, your food and entertainment are included, so you have a pretty good idea what your trip will cost before you leave.
While most Americans cruise fairly close to home such as Alaska, the Caribbean, Mexico and Canada, there are opportunities to see the world on a cruise.
Cruises are offered to Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, Europe, South America and the Panama Canal. Several cruise lines offer a world cruise.
Here are some of the major cruise lines:
Carnival Cruise Line
Holland America Line
Princess Cruises
Norwegian Cruise Line
Celebrity Cruises
Royal Caribbean International
