The Perfection that is Cruising 


from the desk of, Nora MacDonald

Sail over clear smooth waters under starry nights and sun filled days. Tour exotic and ancient ports, discover new worlds. Enjoy an astonishing variety of culinary delights.  Evenings will glitter with dining, dancing and world class shows. Explore the countless activities available to you onboard, or simply do nothing at all...Relax, recharge and do it all again the next day. This is cruising. It is no wonder that it is said that you haven’t lived until you have cruised.

Cruising is now more popular than ever with a higher percentage of satisfied customers than any other vacation experience. This is largely due to the incredible value that you will receive. Your cruise will include your stateroom accommodation, meals, and snacks, entertainment and of course the exciting line up of exotic ports that await you. Some of the Luxury cruise lines are even more inclusive and include such things as Shore excursions, fine wines, gratuities and even flights. 

Imagine snorkeling in clear turquoise waters, zip lining over thick jungle canopies, shopping for exquisite jewelry and unique crafts, discovering the mysteries of ancient ruins. These are just a few of the shore excursions that will be available to you when booking your cruise. Shore excursions are the perfect way to ensure that your cruise experience will be memorable.  

River Cruising is much in demand these days. It is a remarkably wonderful cruise concept; the idea that you could travel through the heart of your destination with such ease and comfort. No matter how many cities you visit, you will only unpack once and enjoy the luxury that is so well known to those who have experienced River Cruising at its finest!  If you have dreamed of Europe, Russia or even Asia, a River Cruise will make your travel experience truly unforgettable.

There is a cruise line and itinerary available to suit just about everyone’s tastes.
