New to Cruising?

Discover why millions of people set sail every year. Great value, convenience, and variety are just a few of the reasons. Ships sail everywhere from Alaska to the Caribbean to Tahiti. Whether you’re looking for adventure, family fun, or sophisticated ambience, there’s a cruise line that’s right for you.

Incredible Value & Convenience

Cruising is the most affordable and convenient way to see the world. There’s simply no better way to stretch your vacation dollar. You’ll visit multiple destinations in a single trip (without the hassle of coordinating travel details). It’s like having a hotel room that goes where you go. And today’s ships are stocked with all the features you’d expect to find at a first-class land-based resort – a wide range of casual and formal dining options, tons of activities,

expansive spa and children’s facilities, promenades lined with an array of entertainment choices, and personalized service fit for a king and queen. Add up what all of these things would cost you if you took a traditional vacation – you’d probably pay double or more. And cruising offers plenty of flexibility, too. Vacation schedules can vary widely, but there’s always a cruise ship waiting to take you on the voyage of a lifetime.
