  • Different types of packages
    Family packages or single travellers packages are offered by cruise lines; choose the one that fits you best according to your individual requirements
  • Who comes with you?
    Children, spouse or partner? Some cruise lines offer wedding packages for honeymooners.
     

  • Length of cruise
    Three to fourteen nights are the norm. World cruises which are the longest, lasting up to three months
  • Port of departure
    Choose one near your home, to save money and avoid expensive airfare
  • Facilities offered on the cruise

  • Land and shore excursions
    Offered by all cruise lines, and lasting two to three days, excursions give you the opportunity to explore new cultures, destinations, visit new places, practice water sports, do some shopping etc.
     
  • Destinations and suggestions
    Europe – a cruise in Europe is recommended to be taken for at least fourteen days of cruising, because of the long distance between the ports of embarkation;
    Weekend Cruises – for at least three days;
    Alaska – for summers only;
    Mid Winter CruiseThe Caribbean (for a two week vacation one should choose a line that alternates between Eastern and Western Caribbean, thus you would have the chance to visit more islands), South America;
A Perfec Cruise Experience

A perfect cruise experience means no unwanted surprises. This depends on the professionalism of the agent or agency you have chosen. Ask your cruise agent for some tips and details that might help you during the cruise and could help you to avoid unexpected or completely new and unknown situations. It's easier to get these pieces of information from relatives, friends, and acquaintances that have been there before you and have already experienced that particular cruise offer or perhaps a related one. Another source of information is made available by cruise reviews which are offered by Internet websites and forums (very subjective, but suggestive), magazines, newspapers etc.
Sometimes the decision for a vacation comes unexpectedly, so these are some guidelines that will help you to plan a proper cruise vacation.
