Maybe it's being wined and dined around the clock, the opulent ship settings, extravagant amenities or exotic destinations that make taking a cruise such a great choice for couples. Perhaps it is the combination of all these exciting elements that make a cruise getaway the perfect vacation for couples. And the best part is that many of these romance-inspiring vacations are very budget-friendly, with many cruise companies offering amazing deals all year-long. That means it does not take a special occasion to warrant a cruise trip, any time of year can be the perfect time and any reason can be the perfect excuse to indulge. Crystal clear water, pristine beaches, balmy temperatures and a relaxing island feel: it is no wonder a trip to the Caribbean is the obvious choice for lovers around the globe. To take full advantage of all the romantic possibilities the Caribbean has to offer, a cruise vacation is the perfect choice. Cruises to the Caribbean are particularly affordable because of their closeness to the US coast. Many cruises, like the Celebrity Century, by Celebrity Cruises, originate off the Florida coast.Cruise Deals]]> Cruises]]> Discount Cruises]]> Travel Agency]]> Travel Agents]]> Recreation]]> Travel]]> Vacation]]> All-Inclusive Vacation]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Cruise-Deals-And-Destinations-For-Romantic-Getaways/893373 Mon, 28 Dec 2009 11:33:36 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Cruise-Deals-And-Destinations-For-Romantic-Getaways/893373 Alaska cruise line offers]]> Alaska cruise ships]]> Alaska cruis]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Alaska-Cruise-Line-Offers---Ports-Of-Call-And-Places-To-Visit/798248 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 10:04:27 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Alaska-Cruise-Line-Offers---Ports-Of-Call-And-Places-To-Visit/798248 Celebrity cruise holiday packages]]> Alaska cruise packages]]> c]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Celebrity-Cruise-Holiday-Packages-To-Alaska/798246 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 10:01:42 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Celebrity-Cruise-Holiday-Packages-To-Alaska/798246 For those who are thinking about getting on board a cruise ship, here are five considerations for your first cruise. 1. Cruise lines have distinct personalities. It's good to know which crowd each line caters to. Discriminating travelers pay a premium to indulge aboard such luxury lines as Radisson Seven Seas and Silversea. More affordable luxury can be found aboard Crystal. Holland America ships are refined and exude class. Princess is both posh and pioneering. Disney beckons the whole family. Carnival boasts a fleet of "fun ships". 2. Timing is everything. The time of year you cruise dictates a lot. Cruises during summer and holiday school breaks will always have more children and families. Booking cruises well in advance of their sailing date can often translate into significant savings. Sailing in a region during its slow season (i.e. the Caribbean in summer) is usually less expensive as well. 3. Ship size matters. Smaller ships (500 passengers or less) provide an intimate environment that often features highly personalized service and unique itineraries. Medium-size ships (between 500 and 1,000 passengers) have a fair amount of onboard activity and entertainment without the volume of people found aboard a mega ship.Business]]> Online Business]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/There-Are-Five-Considerations-For-Your-First-Cruise--/749838 Mon, 21 Sep 2009 02:22:25 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/There-Are-Five-Considerations-For-Your-First-Cruise--/749838 Are there onboard activities for children on cruises?

Each of these cruise lines has a distinct character, so how do you decide which one suites you best? Holland America is the most traditional and formal of the cruise lines, with the smallest ships of all the major lines in Alaska. Holland America also tends to be very popular with senior cruisers and thus it passenger demographic tends to skew older than the other lines. Princess is the largest cruise line in Alaska, and it offers a nice mix of tradition and innovation, including a flexible dining plan. Like Holland America, Princess currently sails eight ships in Alaska. However, the Princess ships are quite a bit larger, and they can accommodate almost double the number of passengers. Princess is also the leader in Alaska cruisetours, and the cruise line owns several wonderful lodges in the Denali National Park region. So if you are considering adding an inland tour to your cruise, Princess is a wonderful option. Norwegian (NCL) is the most innovative of the cruise lines in Alaska, offering multiple restaurants and incredible dining variety and flexibility with its "Freestyle Cruising" concept.alaskan cruises]]> alaska cruise]]> alaskan cruise]]> cruise lines]]> princess]]> holland america]]> celebrity]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Alaska-Cruise-Tips---Which-Cruise-Line-Is-Best-/328819 Fri, 30 May 2008 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Alaska-Cruise-Tips---Which-Cruise-Line-Is-Best-/328819 A wealthy friend decided to take a one-month vacation with Seabourn Cruises and knew the ship, itinerary, departure date and stateroom she wanted. She decided to conduct an experiment in cruise bargain hunting by calling three travel agents and, after relaying the specifics of her desired voyage, advised each agent that whoever gave her the best price would get her business. She saved thousands of dollars. The travel agent who won her business did it by rebating. If there is one dirty word in the cruise industry it's rebating, which means an agent kicks back part of his or her commission (generally 15% of the cruise fare) to pass along a lower fare. After 15 years of writing about the cruise industry I still don't see why rebating is bad - don't real estate agents and car salesmen do the same thing? Isn't this just basic competition? Still, several cruise lines won't let any travel agent rebate cruise fares, including Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Crystal Cruises, Regent Seven Sea Cruises and, to a large part, Norwegian Cruise Line. The remaining cruise lines do allow rebating, but won't permit travel agents to advertise or promote a lower price to the public.New York cruises]]> cruising from new york]]> cruise from new york]]> Bermuda cruises]]> Caribbean cruises]]> cheap cruises]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/New-York-Cruises--Tips-On-Scoring-The-Best-Cruise-Deals/317048 Tue, 29 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/New-York-Cruises--Tips-On-Scoring-The-Best-Cruise-Deals/317048 Norwegian Cruise Line]]> Alaskan Cruise Liner]]> Royal Caribbean Cruise Liner]]> Alaskan seas]]> Royal Caribbean]]> Caribbean cruise]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/The-Best-Cruise-Lines-And-Destinations/314906 Tue, 22 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/The-Best-Cruise-Lines-And-Destinations/314906 There are lots of ways to get from one state to the next, but it's much more difficult to reach Alaska than many other locations.

Four, seven, twenty-nine days on a luxurious cruise ship with nothing to do but while away the hours and absorb the scenery, who cares when and where you port? It's all bound to be good, right? Not necessarily. Many popular ports of call are visited by numerous cruise ships belonging to different cruise lines each and every day. These ports are often crowded and so touristy in nature that it is hard to enjoy or even discern the cultural allure that made these ports popular in the first place. For this reason, you should always research the ports of call offered in your cruise package as well as the ship that you book passage on. Sapphire Princess: Ports of Call North And South Pacific In this article we will look at just one of Princess Cruise Line's ships, the Sapphire Princess, which visits numerous ports of call each year.Cruise]]> Princess Cruise Lines]]> Cruise Ship]]> Carnival Cruise]]> Celebrity]]> Vacation]]> Alaska]]> Pacific]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Explore-Exotic-Ports-Of-Call-In-The-North-And-South-Pacific-To-Choose-Your-Cruise---/131343 Thu, 22 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Explore-Exotic-Ports-Of-Call-In-The-North-And-South-Pacific-To-Choose-Your-Cruise---/131343 Alaska is a destination that conjures up images of glaciers, mountains, wildlife, blue ice waters-but photos don't do this cruise destination justice. It has to be experienced. Over the years, the number of cruise lines offering Alaska cruises has grown, with most now offering land tour extensions as well. For the 2007 Alaskan season, even more options exist to explore this incredible destination, with cruise departures now readily available out of Seattle, Vancouver, Seward and Whittier. The first lines to pioneer the destination, offering both cruises and cruise tours, were Holland America Lines and Princess Cruises. Holland America actually deployed its first ship, the MS Prinsendam, to Alaska in 1975. Royal Caribbean International began offering their first Alaskan cruises in 1990 aboard the Viking Serenade, and Celebrity Cruises followed in 1996. Carnival Cruise Lines also began sailing in Alaska in 1996 with their ship, the Tropicale, roughly half the size of the ship they now have sailing in Alaska. This trend continues with other cruise lines as well. Ships placed in the Alaska market include special features that embrace this destination. These are new ships, not aging tonnage, that cruise lines are using to increase their presence.Group Travel]]> Group Tours]]> Travel and Leisure]]> Group Travel Organizers]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Alaska-Cruising/126686 Sun, 11 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Alaska-Cruising/126686
