BEST CRUISE LINE FOR YOU!

Adventure seekers, families, seniors, there is a cruise line or everyone, but which one do you choose? Picking a cruise line can be difficult. We often only look at the destination ports instead of researching what the ship has to offer. The best way to figure out this is to do research on both the cruise line website, but also reviews and message boards of other cruisers. We will bypass all that time and give you what you are looking for! A guide and suggestions of what cruise line you should choose that best fits you! 

The Romantics

Windstar Cruises: Windstar prides themselves on their luxury options for cruising. Windstar offers smaller size ship and was voted the World's Best Small Ship Cruise Line. You can choose from their yacht options or smaller sailing vessels. The advantage of smaller cruise ships is a more intimate experience. Fewer people= more time to yourself. The most popular cruise destinations they are, Caribbean and French Polynesia itineraries. 

Paul Gauguin Cruises: Paul Gauguin offers luxury cruises in the South Pacific and is award winning for their luxury small ship cruises. Itineraries include voyages to Tahiti, the Society Islands, Cook Islands, Fiji, Tonga and other exotic locations. 

Seniors

Holland America Line: Holland America itineraries often appeal to mature travelers because of their onshore activities. Afternoon tea, gentleman hosts and ballroom dancing nights are intriguing and different from other mainstream cruise lines. Holland America also offers longer cruise options such as 14-20 days and even world crises that seniors have the time and money to enjoy. 

Cunard: As like Holland America, Cunard offers longer itinerary options such as the "Around the World in 180 Days" world cruise. Cunard also offers transatlantic crossings on their Queen Mary 2, along with their formal dinners and ballroom dance parties onboard.

Families (with smaller children)

Disney Crusie Line: This one is a no-brainer. Disney character interactions, dinner, and activities make Disney Cruise Lines one of the best lines to cruise with smaller children. From childcare for smaller children, under 3 months and play spaces to drop off the kids to enjoy the possibilities are endless for everyone onboard. Castaway Cay, Disney Cruise Line's private island, is a popular destination onboard.  

Royal Caribbean International: Royal Caribbean's reputation is growing larger for family vacations. The line offers toddler play spaces and babysitting for babies so the adults can enjoy their vacation as well. A partnership with DreamWorks brings characters from Kung Fu Panda, Shrek, Madagascar, and others to life onboard. 

Families (with teens)

Norwegian Cruise Line: Norwegian is famous for their freestyle approach. No set dining times, no strict dress code and a plethora of options for food and entertainment. This gives teens whatever they want to eat, and whatever they want to do. Teen clubs onboard for the gamers and exclusive parties to get away from their families to meet others.
