Cruise Types

World Cruises Have you ever thought about exploring the world via a luxurious cruise ship? If so, rest assured that it will be a truly unforgettable experience. A typical world cruise can range from just a segment of a few weeks to several months on board, visiting the world's most exotic locales. World cruises generally depart in January, and your Bon Voyage Travel agent can help you explore departures, world cruise lines and itineraries.

River Cruises In the last several years, European and Asian rivers will see hundreds of riverboats and barges glide along the most historic rivers and canals, which span thousands of miles of Continental waterway. For travelers interested in really seeing the interior of the Continent and experiencing a more intimate setting, a river cruise is one of the best ways we know to explore inland cities, visiting ports that traditional big ships can't access. The real difference that you will find with a river cruise experience is the huge emphasis on the places you visit. River itineraries in Europe feature a nice blend of sophisticated metropolises, as well as charming and picturesque small towns and villages. The boats are long and low-slung, designed to squeeze under stout ancient and medieval bridges and through narrow canal locks. The ships, carrying as few as six and as many as 300 passengers, are becoming more and more luxurious as companies such as AMA Waterways and Uniworld are investing in new boats that incorporate more of today's contemporary features, such as cabins with French balconies, high-tech toys, Wi-Fi, alternative eateries, tiny gyms and spas, and museum-worthy art collections.

Theme cruises Theme cruises are the perfect way to surround yourself with people that have the same interests as you on a cruise. No matter what your interest or bent, chances are there's a theme cruise available for it. For instance, maybe you've always wanted to take culinary classes, in which case, Celebrity's Food Network cruises may be perfect for you. Maybe rubbing shoulders with your favorite soap stars while lounging on the by the pool is your idea of a great time. Even golf lovers can brush up on their skills of this land-based sport while enjoying a few days at sea, and wine and chocolate lovers can take off on a wonderful cruise that includes their favorite cocoa treats.
