Cruise Tours are especially meant to fulfill your dream of spending a couple of days off from the demands of your work or simply to give you some time to spend with your loved ones or to relax and enjoy yourself. Whatever your purpose for going on a cruise tour, it is important that you make the most out of it and enjoy every minute you spend while on tour. There are several destinations you can visit if you want to have the time of your life. Most cruise tours are scheduled on a daily basis so you could have plenty of time and chances to book yourself to that ultimate destination of your choice.

Cruise tours in itself already serve as an actual destination. Touring on a ship is already as exciting as going to a particular destination. Nonetheless, your target destination should still be extra special.

You can choose to go on a cruise tour to the Bahamas where you can sight surrounding islands and wonderful views. Or go on a cruise to Cancun Mexico where you can explore the white and pristine beaches it offers. If you are in for more adventure, take a cruise tour across Europe and explore the wonders that country has to offer. If you are in the mood for historical backtracking, cruise the Asia Pacific region and learn about their life and culture and experience the wide variety of cuisine they offer. Whatever destination you target, it is certain that you are in for a lot of fun!

Most cruise tours offer packaged rates designed to be easy on the pocket. Don't worry about the budget because it is certain that your cruise tour will be worth it. The places you will get to visit and the experience you will have will definitely be priceless.

Make the most out of your cruise tours by enjoying and experiencing all the amenities your tour package is offering. Forget about your diet for a while and indulge in good food. Staying up late at night doesn't always have to be because of work; it could also be because you want to have a good time at the cruise bar or disco. Hang out by the pool side and enjoy the breathtaking scenery of your tour. There's also the sunset and sunrise to watch out for.

Don't forget to take a million and one photos of your cruise tour. Enjoy and relax and forget about your work. Remember this cruise tour is meant especially for you.

The Complete Caribbean Cruises Guide

Labels: , , Posted by


By Cindy Heller Platinum Quality Author



The Eastern Caribbean has many historic islands with endless stretches of beautiful beaches. The western Caribbean is which one can explore ancient Mayan ruins as you venture into the Yucatan peninsula. The Southern Caribbean is known for its many dive sites with coral reefs full of fishes.

Each part of the Caribbean is unique and offers exciting places for a great cruise experience.

Eastern Caribbean Cruises: Sun, sand, sea and shopping

One of the favorite destinations in the Eastern Caribbean is St Maarten. St. Maarten is known for its duty-free shopping. Christopher Columbus sighted St. Maarten in 1493. French and Dutch divided the island and settled down in 1648. They have lived side by side ever since. St. Maarten gained partial independence from the Netherlands in 1954. The Netherlands Antilles governs St. Maarten while St. Martin is part of the French West Indies. St Maarten and St Martin is the world smallest island shared between two countries. The beaches on the island are among the best in the Caribbean. Clothing is optional on some beaches.

Western Caribbean Cruises: The Ancient and Adventure

The Western Caribbean cruise vacation is interesting because you can explore a number of countries and experience a variety of cultures in the same trip. You can also pop over the Mexican coast. Some cruises include stopovers at Key West and New Orleans.

Southern Caribbean Cruises: For the Young and Adventurous.

It is little wonder that the Southern Caribbean cruises are marketed as cruises for the singles. There are many activities for the young and energetic. Just right for breaking the ice between strangers. The Southern Caribbean is known for its crystal clear waters, which are ideal for snorkeling and diving.

There are also some great shore excursion opportunities. Many of the Southern Caribbean ports are booming centers of commerce while others are still large tract of lush rain forests. Some are enclaves for the rich and famous while others look more like the Arizona desert with their towering Saguaro cacti.

The Southern Caribbean islands are further away and less accessible than the Eastern or Western Caribbean islands. If you sail from the USA, you will need to plan for a longer trip. Alternatively, if you can fly to San Juan, Puerto Rico, Aruba or Barbados and take a Southern Caribbean cruise from there. The Southern Caribbean cruises from this place starts from 4 days.

Sail the Caribbean Blue Waters Aboard a Cruise Liner

Labels: Posted by


By Naveen Marasin



Are you planning for a vacation? Do you have ideas for cruising? If your answer to both the questions is in the positive, then do not think twice. Just select a Caribbean cruise as your vacation destination. Easy to reach and the charming islands make the Caribbean a place for tropical climate lovers. The diversity of cultures in the Caribbean extends to what other few destinations in the world can provide.

Almost all the sails to the Caribbean islands start from south Florida, which has many ports and can house large cruise ships. The state is also very near to the Caribbean. Some of the Caribbean cruises comprise South Florida and the Bahamas Islands because of the identical climate and similar attitude.

It is always advisable for you to confirm with your sail line and detect the packages offered by them. In reality the Caribbean stretches over an area of 2000 miles from Mexico in the northwest to the island of Barbados in the east. Thus it is obvious that almost all the cruise packages cover only part of the area. The Eastern Caribbean which covers the Smaller Antilles and Puerto Rico, the Southern Caribbean which covers the Dutch Antilles and the adjoining regions of South America, and the Western Caribbean which covers southeastern Mexico, Central America, and Jamaica are some of the usual cruise alternatives.

Needless to say each of the areas has its own attractions. The young travelers and the honeymooners like to visit the party environment of Jamaica, Cozumel or even Mexico. Those who want to relax in a calm atmosphere go in for Eastern Caribbean cruises. But do not forget to try the land expeditions because they would give you a memorable experience as well.

Once you arrive at your destination, settle for nothing less than a luxury Caribbean resort. Bask in the sun and enjoy your vacation in leisurely glory at Raffles Canouan Island Resort, while everything is provided for you.

Tortola, A Glorious Port-of-Call to Visit on a Cruise Ship

Labels: , , , Posted by


By Denise Stone



First, let me describe our entry into Roadtown. What a beautiful hour or so....the hour we spent coming into Roadtown. We came into Tortola late morning so the Holland America Westerdam passengers all got to enjoy the entry rather than sleeping through it like we often do when on a cruise ship. We passed through a narrow channel between St John, USVI and several small, lush green islands, Great Thatch and Little Thatch to name a couple...how beautiful! We were boarded by a local ship Captain, all while in motion. He then guided the ship past Roadtown so we could pivot into a channel deep enough for the ship to pass through. Again, we were struck by the beauty of our surroundings....many small lush islands all around us with a few sail boats thrown in for good measure. It didn't seem as though our large, 1800 passenger ship should be there. The cruise ship pier was completed in 1999. The pier at Wickham Cay is right in the city of Roadtown so you don't need a taxi to get to the shopping areas although they are readily available if you want to do some sightseeing on your own.

We had about an hour and a half before our eagerly awaited shore excursion....our snorkeling adventure to Norman Island. In that time, we disembarked and decided to walk into the town. Directly outside the entrance to the pier, there is a shopping area of tarp covered booths. We passed these and were happy to find the shop keepers to be pretty passive (unlike a few ports of call where the shop keepers aggressive style can be intimidating to many even though they are harmless). We went into the main part of town (Americans be careful crossing streets, they drive on the left side of the road here) and enjoyed a quick visit to the Sunny Caribbee Spice Shop Co & Art Gallery. Around the corner, not far from the ferry dock in the Craft Alive Market, we visited a neat little shop called The Coral Studio. They sell some lovely and affordable handcrafted coral carvings made from dead coral harvested from the local shores. This is where I found a gift for my mother-in-law who was so nice to take care of the kids while we were enjoying this cruise vacation! We would have to shop more later as it was time to head back to the pier to catch the open-air bus that would take us to the boat we were going to Norman Island on. On our way back to the pier, we noticed a couple local restaurants/bars right outside the port entrance. They were crowded with cruise passengers enjoying the front decks.

My husband and I had been eager to visit Tortola as we had planned to return to Norman Island where we snorkeled together about 16 years ago during a visit to St Thomas. When we last visited Norman Island, we had rented a small boat from the northeast shores of St Thomas. We spent a fantastic day chartering a course to Norman Island for our first ever snorkeling adventure. (We don't recommend this for new boaters like ourselves....we were young and adventurous, actually foolish. Stick with a group excursion with an experienced charter operator). Anyway, this was our first opportunity to return to Norman Island. We were a bit concerned it might not be as good as we remembered, especially since this time around we were booked with a group rather than visiting on our own. After a half hour boat ride past some other small islands, Peter Island and Pelican Island, we arrived at Norman Island, also known as "Treasure Island" as it was the model for Robert Louis Stevenson's epic novel, Treasure Island. This island is also well known for its pirate history. It is uninhabited at this time but after the pirates, cattle farmers tried to operate from here. They found it difficult to operate from the island and left it deserted many years ago. I can understand as there is not much flat land here. With its marine caves, it is very popular with snorkelers now. We found it to be as wonderful as we had remembered.....brightly colored fish, coral, cool caves to snorkel into and peace. There are no waves, there was one other boat when we arrived but we never felt crowded. What a treat. I can't wait to go back again one day! Maybe before I go back, I will take a scuba class ...although not really necessary as it is no more than 20 -30 feet deep around the base of the island and in most places, only 3-8 feet. It would be nice to study up a little on the marine life I saw so I can identify it by name. "Pretty" is the best word I have for everything now.

We were tired when we got back from our excursion but I managed to get a little more shopping in. Then, back to the ship for a warm shower, a little relaxation on our balcony and off to dinner for another delicious meal and inviting company. Guests we dined with that evening had visited The Baths on Virgin Gorda, the second most populous island of the BVIs. They said it was a gorgeous natural stretch of coastline with large boulders strewn about. The boulders are said to have come from a prehistoric volcano. They enjoyed a day of snorkeling and swimming in the pools and grottoes formed by the great rocks. Maybe we will have to visit there next time but it will be hard to decide between The Baths and anther visit to Norman Island. What a day!!!! If you are ready for a cruise to Tortola, there are many opportunities from Ft Lauderdale, Miami and Port Canaveral.


We will be happy to help you find your perfect cruise to this delightful port-of-call, just give us a call.

Labels: , , Posted by


By Junaid Ashraf Mianoor


Carnival Cruise Line is the world's largest and most popular cruise line with twenty-one "Fun Ships" travelling via special and affordable roundtrip tours from three to seventeen days to the Eastern, Southern, and Western Caribbean among five other picturesque foreign destinations. Possessing a festive-yet-casual reputation, Carnival offers multiple choices in dining, entertainment and activity. Each Fun Ship has at least three swimming pools, a full gambling casino, on-board duty free shopping, "Nautica Spa" health and fitness service, and a complimentary fleetwide children's program known as "Camp Carnival". A daylong line up of activities for all ages enable Carnival to be the sole cruise line with the capacity to provide a Vacation Guarantee to every guest who comes aboard.

Cruising is ideal for solo travelers because it is so easy to meet other people. Nonetheless, couples, friends, honeymooners, families, and business associates take cruises. The Carnival is like a floating resort with all the deluxe hotels have to offer. You can, breathe in the sea air, bask in the sun, or watch the ever-changing seascape. A reservation for fine dining at the dining room awaits you at all times. Nevertheless, you may opt to enjoy a laid-back buffet-style meal at "Seaview Bistros" or the 24-hour pizzerias. Nightlife is also possible on board with the presence of high-energy dance clubs and the sing-a-long piano bar. For relaxation, you may indulge in their spa that offers massages, loofah treatment, hairstyling, sauna, nail treatment, soothing masks, and even micro-facelifts. If you simply want a quiet private moment or savor a romantic night with your loved one, feel free to stroll along the deck under the starry night.

Carnival cabins are twice larger than those of any other cruise line's cabins are. They have a balcony, twin beds convertible to king sizes, sitting area, dressing room with vanity area, walk-in closet, wall safe, refrigerator, a private bath, television, and VCR. For more comfort, there is wall-to-wall carpeting and cheerful indirect lighting, and a 24-hour room service.

For kids aged two to fifteen, entertainment covers exploring their "FunShip", enjoying all kinds of games and contests, engaging in workshops on interesting hobbies, attending parties, participating in talent shows, arts, crafts, watching movies, and swimming. Every activity is under the friendly supervision of Camp Carnival counselors. Each counselor are either college-educated, has child-care expertise, or both. They make sure your children are safe, busy, and having a very enjoyable experience.
In addition, Carnival offers wedding packages suitable to every budget. Knowledgeable and approachable wedding coordinators will handle every detail necessary for the occasion. Either weddings are at beautifully designed lounges onboard or Carnival will cater to your choice of breathtaking locations.

Frequent cruisers say that this is the best cruise line in the world. They offer cruises all over the world and each cruise is a delight and an adventure.

The Royal Caribbean cruise line began in 1968 when three Norwegian shipping companies came together to form a cruise line. Their first ship was the Song of Norway which was ready for service by 1970. By 1972 they had three large cruise ships offering seven and fourteen day cruises to the Caribbean.

The Royal Caribbean company was growing so fast that on one of their ships, the Sun Viking, they added an 85 foot section in the middle increasing the passenger capacity from seven hundred to one thousand. This was quite an undertaking and had never been done before. They did the same to another ship and by 1982 the Song of America enters service with the capability of holding up to two thousand passengers.

By 1986 Royal Caribbean had firmly established itself as the best Caribbean cruise line in the Caribbean. It wasn't long before they expanded their business to include cruises all around the world. Today they are the most popular and well known cruise line in the world. They remain dedicated to providing good service to all their cruises.

Do you want to take a Caribbean cruise but want to find the best deal? Many cruise lines offer great deals so you can experience the Caribbean for less. Most people only check into cruise lines they are familiar with such as royal Caribbean, which is a wonderful and popular cruise line. However there are many other ships that also offer a great Caribbean cruise deal so don't overlook them.

The trick to finding the best Caribbean cruise deal is in the timing. For instance, if you wanted to cruise during the busiest time of year you will find that it will also be the most expensive time of year. To find the best price check out different dates and compare prices. Try to find the dates that cost the least to save you money. This may take some time, but be patient, it is well worth it. Sometimes you can even find fantastic prices by booking a cruise at the last minute as this is the time that cruise lines are trying to fill all the cabins to take a full ship. The good news is that the Caribbean usually has good weather all year long.

There are many avenues to finding the best Caribbean cruise deal such as through travel agents, calling cruise lines, or searching online. Any of these options are great for finding good deals for you; however, timing is still the key. So do your homework and be flexible and you will find the best Caribbean cruise deal to fit your budget.

Spend your vacation dollars wisely with help from Caribbean Cruise Adventure and find the best Caribbean Cruise Deal available.
