You're Ready to Buy a Cruise Ticket But to Where?

You're ready for a cruise and want to buy a ticket, but there's one decision left to make.

Where to go? Will it be an Alaska cruise, or do New Zealand cruises, Australia cruises or Norway cruises tickle your fancy? Maybe it's a Virgin Islands cruise, Panama Canal cruise or an Aruba cruise that you want. The choices are endless.

Perhaps you have never been on a cruise before and you aren't sure what to expect. Well, you can expect a slow, relaxed vacation where you get to see the world while traveling in comfort. You can also get a good deal by combining your airfare, hotel and cruise into one all-inclusive package.

Onboard there are many activities to keep you active or comfortable deck chair loungers if you want to sit in the fresh air with a good book. Cruise ships feature rock climbing walls, fitness centers with massages, casinos, nightclubs with entertainment and dancing, five-star dining, bars, lounges and coffee houses and shore excursions at ports of call.

Lots of Choice in Caribbean

If it's Barbados, the Virgin Islands or Cayman Islands you're interested in, you can combine your trip there with a cruise through the Caribbean on any number of cruise lines, including Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Disney, Holland America, Norwegian, P&O, Princess, Silversea and MSC Italian. They feature cruises to tailor the time you have available, from a few days up to 10, 14, 15 and 24-day cruises. Of course prices vary widely depending on the length of cruise you pick and the onboard accommodation you desire.

Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Holland America, Princess, Norwegian and Silversea all offer cruises featuring Aruba, with various stops along the way including San Juan, St. Thomas, Dominica, Barbados and other exotic locales.

Panama Canal Cruises

If you want to venture even further south, consider a Panama Canal cruise. You will enjoy the Yucatan Peninsula, scenic Costa Rica and the cathedrals and plazas of Cartagena. But you will likely be most impressed by the Panama Canal. Still considered an amazing engineering feat, it has been open since 1914 as a conduit between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

You can choose a 15-night Celebrity Cruises voyage from San Francisco to Fort Lauderdale from $1,179; a 12-day Crystal Cruises trip from Miami to Costa Rica from $2,380; a 10-day Holland America southern Caribbean Panama Canal roundtrip from Ft. Lauderdale from $899; a 17-day Norwegian Cruise from New York to Valparaiso from $1,349; or a 10-day Princess Cruises roundtrip from Ft. Lauderdale from $1,049.
