Tips for the First Timer
I suggest you don't try to book a long, or extensive cruise for
your first time cruise. If you don't like it, a 12 day cruise will seem like an
eternity. And, once you are on the ship - you are on the ship! Also, there is
the chance of see sickness. Therefore, I recommend a nice 3 or 4 day cruise as a
taster for travelers new to cruises. Then, if you enjoy it, you have an excuse
to have another (longer) cruise if you do find you love it! And, when you book,
be sure to tell the booking agent that it is your first time for a cruise and,
if you like it, you will quite probably cruise again. Many cruise lines offer
discounts for first-time cruisers - also it needn't be your first cruise per se,
just the first with their company.
American Canadian Caribbean Line
|
Year-round cruises from the northern waters of Labrador and Newfoundland, to the southerly tropics of the Caribbean and Central America on small (100-passenger) ships uniquely designed to reach bodies of water and land that bigger ships can't. Cruises all take place in a cozy, informal atmosphere, that encourages you to meet new people and make new friends. With many itineraries to choose from each year, passengers keep coming back to repeat the ACCL experience. Our ships are purposefully simple, comfortable with an informal atmosphere evident in our BYOB policy and relaxed dress code. Our itineraries are specially tailored to the active, inquisitive and eco-conscious audience. We choose our crew, chefs, lecturers and land tours carefully to provide a top-notch vacation. Often we offer local guides and entertainment to ensure an authentic experience of the regions we befriend.

discerning travelers who long to reach out-of-the-ordinary destinations and
indulge in amenities and service unparalleled on the high seas.
The unique offerings of Azamara are beyond compare: butler service is provided in every stateroom; our shore excursions (we prefer to call them shore immersions), are designed to let guests become part of the fabric of life in each destination, instead of merely being an observer; our enrichment programs offer everything from culinary to photographic explorations; our two specialty restaurants provide the finest cuisine at sea; live entertainment can be enjoyed nightly; and the level of service offered is unmatched. Azamara Cruises consists of two intimate ships, Azamara Journey and Azamara Quest. Each can carry 694 fortunate guests and because they are smaller and sleeker than larger cruise ships, they can sail to ports that others simply cannot reach. |

you are on a Cruise West cruise, the focus is on what's happening outside
-- not on the casinos and stage shows so many other cruise lines focus on.
You'll simply see more of everything. Bald eagles, bears, wildlife. Cruising
Alaska, the Columbia & Snake Rivers, the tiny port towns along British
Columbia's coast, and California's Wine Country in unique new ways. Unforgettable natural beauty and an intriguing sense of history
reveal themselves in-depth and up-close on the small-ship voyages of Cruise

| Cunard
Line continues a tradition of luxury cruising that began in 1840. Today its
flagship, Queen Elizabeth 2, is the world¹s most famous ship and the greatest
liner of her time. She maintains the legacy of her Cunard and White Star Line
predecessors in providing a definitive annual World Cruise and the only
scheduled transatlantic liner service. QE2 very much sets the standard of
traditional British elegance, superb White Star Service, gourmet cuisine and
sumptuous accommodations that have secured Cunard¹s reputation. In 2000, QE2 is
joined by another classic liner, Caronia, formerly known as Vistafjord, which
also delivers an elegant, Old World cruising experience. Whether on voyages or
cruises, these two Cunard Line vessels create a new golden age of ocean liner

Delta Queen Steamboat Company (Majestic America Line)
|
With her red stern wheel churning the mighty Mississippi and her flag flying high in the balmy blue sky, the legendary Delta Queen is the quintessential American river ship. In profile and in spirit, she captures a time when thousands of steamboats plied the country’s inland waterways. More than 3,000 of them came and went from the wharf at St. Louis each year! Built in 1926, gleaming with four decks of teak and original Tiffany-style stained-glass windows, the Delta Queen accommodates just 176 guests, all in outside staterooms. Unique touches abound, including a rare ironwood floor gracing the Orleans Room, the heart of the ship's nightlife, and an 1897 steam calliope that was once salvaged from a sunken showboat and sold to a circus. You'll even find the very same ship's bell that sounded out landings for the steamboat Mark Twain rode downriver in 1883. Come listen to the clang of that historic bell announcing your own shore landings. Dance on the floor Presidents Hoover, Truman, and Carter have graced. Grab a cup of coffee in the Forward Cabin Lounge and watch the sun burn off the mist over the Mississippi. Take your place in history, today.

Norwegian Cruise Line - Freestyle Cruising
|
|
| You keep seeing Freestyle Cruising and you don't know exactly what it
is, right? That's because we're the only cruise line that offers anything
like it. Let's start with the fact that there are no fixed dining times. And
you never have to eat in the same restaurant twice. Really. We won't ask you
to sit with strangers like on other cruise lines. And, you only have to
dress up if you want to. We've created that kind of freedom throughout the
ship with a ton of fun things to do, or not do. It's NCL's Freestyle
Cruising. Where you're free to whatever.
Freestyle Dining - No other cruise line offers 13 different restaurants on board a single ship. Heck, no other cruise line even comes close. Steak, sushi, Teppanyaki, tapas, French, Mediterranean, Asian Fusion, Italian, Tex-Mex, buffets, pizza. Your choices are endless Dine where you want - With up to 13 restaurants, you'll find what you're in the mood for. We apologize for the "What do you feel like for dinner?" conversation ahead of time. If you just can't decide, there's also 24-hour room service. Dine when you want - Our restaurants are open for dinner from 5:30pm to midnight with seating until 10:00pm. Do your thing and catch dinner when you're hungry, not when the dinner bell rings. It's totally up to you. Dine with whomever you want - Not everyone wants to eat dinner with people they don't know. We say you're welcome to enjoy dinner with the people you came on vacation with. Or, if you'd like to meet new people, we'll gladly seat you with other cruisers. The choice is yours. |
Freestyle Activities - Looking for fun? On board, you can go bowling or to the spa. Try out the bungee trampoline or yoga. Karaoke or kick-boxing. Or go swimming, spinning, shopping or jogging. Off the ship, try our hiking, biking, diving, snorkeling, surfing, golfing, touring and partying Shore Excursions. Freestyle Attire - One of you wants a little glamour and you-know-who wants to wear khakis. Can this relationship be saved? No problem. Thanks to our policy of, well, no formal policy, you can be elegant one night and casual the next. It's called resort casual and it's a lot more comfortable than wearing a tuxedo. Freestyle Disembarkation - With traditional cruising, getting off the ship can be a lot of "hurry up and wait." Not with NCL. We thought that maybe sleeping in and having a quiet breakfast or a quick workout might be a better alternative. So we say, relax any way you like, until it's really time to go. |
|
|
NCL sets sail to over 140 ports of call on four continents. Yes ... if it's on the map, we probably sail there. You'll find cruises to the Caribbean, Alaska, Europe, South America and of course our specialties – Bermuda and Hawaii. With over 60 itineraries to choose from, it's easy to find a cruise that's right for you. And with departure cities from Seattle to New York City and lots of convenient ports in between, an NCL cruise vacation is closer than you think. So, what are you waiting for? Choose your favorite destination and let's go! |
|
On NCL, you can choose from 14 beautiful ships including our newest
additions, Norwegian Gem and Norwegian Pearl. What makes our ships so unique? Freestyle Cruising of course! Our ships offer as many as 13 places to eat and lots of cool spots to play and be entertained. You choose where and when you dine and how you'll fill your days and nights. Speaking of choice, we've got more balconies, more suites and our amazing Garden and Courtyard Villas. All this means you can pretty much customize your cruise exactly how you want it to be. Ready to go? Let's go find a ship for you! |

![]() Norwegian Gem When it comes to Freestyle Cruising, something new is definitely a good thing. Introducing Norwegian Gem. This brand new ship offers all the things you love about NCL - all the restaurants, the bars and lounges, plus the complete disregard for watches and alarm clocks. It's the latest in the Jewel class family of ships, sister ship to Norwegian Pearl; and you'll find yourself wondering what to do next, nap, bowl a few games, get a good workout or ...whatever. |
![]() Norwegian Pearl Chances are you'll treasure everything about Norwegian Pearl. She's brand new and full of exciting options, making your vacation just that - yours.

Head out to Alaska or the Caribbean and you'll choose from an impressive array of accommodations from the ultra luxurious Garden and Courtyard Villas to family-friendly connecting staterooms and suites. Finally, a vacation where you're free to whatever. |

| Seabourn's world is
filled with fascinating sights you have always longed to see. It is alive
with people and places to come to know, and with memories to be cherished
forever. It is a world of experiences—some eagerly anticipated and others
delightfully unexpected. Your gracious gateway to this tantalizing world is
Seabourn yachting life. Champagne on ice. Flowers in the sitting room. A spacious marble-clad bath and walk-in closet. Measuring a generous 277 square feet or more, your Seabourn Suite is the ideal haven. The sea is always on view, framed by the expanse of a five-foot picture window, or (in many suites) the doors of your balcony. Fine Egyptian cotton linens, a fluffy duvet and king-sized down and feather pillows encourage the indulgence of afternoon naps. Sunshine enters your suite each day, in the form of your personal suite stewardess. Whether she draws the warm, scented bath of your choice from our Pure Pampering menu or surprises you at night with a sprinkling of rose petals on your bed, she helps to make wishes come true. She’ll present your welcome tray of canapés and homemade cookies after a day ashore. Keep your complimentary in-suite bar stocked according to your preferences. Replenish your bowl of fresh fruit. And invite you to select from an extensive roster of DVDs and CDs – including recent films and music from classical to rock, or audio books by best-selling authors like Tom Clancy and Dan Brown. (Enjoy them on your suite’s flat screen TV or Bose Stereo/CD player.) She'll also show you the cleverly-designed cocktail table in the sitting room that converts to a dining table. At your request, it can be beautifully set with a course-by-course dinner from The Restaurant. Celebrating special occasions is a specialty of Seabourn yachting life. From an intimate cocktail party to a bowl of popcorn for a private screening on your DVD player, you have but to ask. |

| Kick off your shoes and get ready for adventure!
A cruise with Star Clippers will be something you will long remember. Imagine,
taking a cruise where dressing for dinner means T-shirts and shorts or
swimsuits! But, although the ships are sail, you will not have to
worry about roughing it as you will have an air conditioned cabin,
complete with modern amenities.
How does this sound for a typical day? Begin with complimentary Bloody Mary's, fresh baked breads and pastries, followed by a bountiful breakfast. Lunch is served on board or picnic style on the beach. As evening begins to fall, toast the sunset with rum swizzles and hors d'oeuvres. But be sure to save room for a hearty dinner, complete with wine -- all on the house! And then, if the night is still young! Put on your best toga or pirate gear and get ready to party! And when we weigh anchor, let our crew do all the work or take your turn at the helm and learn the ropes. Do as little or as much as you like. You're off to explore the Caribbean. Perfect for cruising in casual elegance. Our itineraries range from the sun-kissed Mediterranean to the exotic Far East and the Caribbean. On board you will enjoy a relaxed atmosphere, friendly crew, and international cuisine, all in pampered comfort. If you're a boating enthusiast, you can choose to lend a hand hoisting the sails, you can climb the mast, or you can just lay back and let the crew do all the work. |

Discover a new age of sail, where the traditions of the past are combined
with the modern comforts and amenities of the present. Cme aboard Star
Clipper, Star Flyer or our new flagship the Royal Clipper, the largest
fully rigged sailing ship in the world today. As thousands of feet of sail
unfurl above you, you'll feel the elation of those mariners of long ago.
This is Star Clippers and the adventure has just begun! Inspired by the legendary Tall Ship, Preussen, the new Royal Clipper has the proud distinction of being the largest and only five-masted sailing ship built since her predecessor was launched at the beginning of the last century. With her complement of 42 sails, Royal Clipper is a splendid sight to behold. You might think she was an apparition from the grand age of sail, but Royal Clipper is as new as tomorrow. She boasts state-of-the-art navigation systems and all the comforts of today. For connoisseurs of sail cruising, the 439 foot Royal Clipper offers the ultimate sea-going experience, balancing the grandeur, adventure and tradition of sailing with the superb service, amenities and accommodations of the finest modern yachts. Royal Clipper carries just 227 guests in luxurious style. A full 18,940 square feet of open deck and three swimming pools create a wonderfully spacious and expansive outdoor environment.

Life With Windjammer Life Onboard
|
Life Ashore We've been cruising "down island" for more than 50 years. Like the pirates of yesteryear, we know all the right people in all the right places. Windjammer's tour planners spend grueling hours researching and selecting onshore excursions that are fun, authentic, and designed to put you face - to - face with the local environment and culture. Each day, shipmates may be offered a selection of 3-4 tours that range from mellow (snorkeling tours) to active (hiking) to adrenaline-pumped (all-terrain vehicle jungle adventures).

Bring the Whole Family Trek through the lush canopy of a natural rainforest. Buzz around on a jet ski or snorkel coral reefs alive with colorful fish. Hike to the top of a waterfall and plunge in for a cool swim. By the end of the cruise, you’re sure to have a bunch of friends to add to your buddy list. Kids as young as 6 are more than welcome to sail with us year round. |
