Cruises & Riverboats
Cruise ships can range from the newest megaships operating with over 3000 passengers, to a smaller, true sailing vessels reminiscent of the schooners that sailed the oceans long ago. New ships are being built and delivered nearly every month, and each of these ships offer new amenities:
- Sports facilities - including spas, gyms, putt-putt golf, rock climbing walls, inline skating, and ice-skating.
- Shopping - from the mega-mall on the Voyager class ships to small duty-free shops.
- Entertainment includes Broadway style reviews, honky-tonk piano bars, intimate jazz clubs and intense late night discotheques.
- Dining aboard ship in the traditional dining room is now supplimented by very popular, individual, small dining venues that set aside traditional dress and time restrictions.
Cruise ships operate in every part of the world. Of course, cruise vacations are extremely popular in the warm weather destinations of the Caribbean and Mediterranean. However, some lines offer entire "round-the-world" itineraries, so nearly everywhere you want to go can be reached by ship.
Riverboat cruising has recently undergone changes with new, luxurious ships being introduced on the major waterways of Europe and Russia.  These ships offer travelers a unique, relaxed view of the ancient waterways. In most cases, these waterways were the birthplace of the cities. Instead of approaching a city from a sometimes less than desirable large cruise ship port, riverboats enter the heart of the city and dock within walking distance of all that is of interest. Leisurely strolls and guided tours are always available.
- Riverboat Cruises typically operate on the romantic rivers in Europe, Russia and China.
- The ships are deluxe and intimate averaging around 150 passengers.
- Gourmet dining is always available, sometimes with regional specialities.
- Most ships offer spacious, all river-view staterooms.
- Riverboat itineraries offer the best of cosmopolitan cities and quaint small villages.
- Many also include guided shore excursions.
