Q: We love to learn something new every day! Are there any special educational programs on-board?

A: To complement the spirit of discovery that travel evokes, many cruise lines feature and extensive program of on board enrichment programs hosted by distinguished guest experts. In addition to lectures highlighting the history and sights of the ports you will be visiting, there may also be special in-depth presentations ranging from Renaissance art to strategic financial planning to epicurean secrets of classic French cuisine.

 

 

Q: Are there different classed of service on the cruise ship?

A: The vast majority of today's cruise ships are "one-class." Everyone can use all of the ship's facilities. The price of your cabin is based primarily on its size and location. Regardless of the category you book, you will enjoy the same courteous service, menus, activates, and entertainment as everyone else on board.

 

 

Q: Will I get bored? Feel confined?

A: Hardly! Being at sea gives you a feeling of total freedom that no land-based resort can offer. There's plenty of room and it will probably take you two or three days just to discover everything that is on board. Plus, you get the added adventure of exploring many exciting ports of call, often a new one every day of the trip!

 

Cruise ships are floating resorts with all the choices fine resorts have to offer. You can lie back in a lounge chair, breathe in the sea air, soak up the sun, read good books, or watch the ever-changing seascape. Smaller ships focus on the treasures and delights of myriad destinations.

 

If you are more active person, join in exercise or dance classes, or sports contests. Practice your tennis stroke or golf swing, or take in some fresh air on the jogging deck. Or you can swim, stretch out in the sauna or work out in the gym. You can also watch a feature film, attend an enrichment lecture by experts, or play backgammon and bridge. And that is just when you are on board!

 

 

Q: Do I have to participate in all the activities onboard?

A: On a cruise, you do what you want, when you want. You can do everything or do absolutely nothing. It's your vacation!
