Cruise Deals

Caribbean cruises have always been popular vacation options, since cruising allows you to see a number of the islands of the Caribbean while enjoying all the pampering of a "floating resort." You have the option of disembarking and exploring the Bahamas, Jamaica, the Netherlands Antilles and other Caribbean hot spots, or you can enjoy staying on board and soaking up the sun. Other options include visiting the ship's spa for a massage and pedicure, or browsing the novels in the ship's library and reading your pick poolside.

What are less well known than sunny Bahamas getaways are the cruises that sail between famous European destinations. However, cruise deals to Athens, Nice, the Roman port of Civitavecchia and other distant cities offer an affordable and comfortable way to visit European destinations. The Caribbean offers sun and sand, Europe offers culture, history and antiquity, and you can cruise to both!
