10 ... 9... 8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...
A warm greeting to all my faithful readers and to those of you joining for the first time. I wish you many happy, healthy and prosperous days in this brand new year. May the year be filled with many sunny days, warm ocean breezes, visits to cruise ports, and relaxing days aboard a cruise ship or at your favorite resort.
One of the highlights of the upcoming year is the year-long celebration of Princess Cruises' 50th Anniversary. The celebration already began on Regal Princess when it's Caribbean debut cruise in November. The celebration will take place on all Princess ships starting today.
New Ships in 2015

 |
In the upcoming months, several cruise lines will be introducing new ships. SS Maria Theresa, Uniworld's newest river boat, will launch in March. Viking Ocean's, first entry into ocean cruising, Viking Star, will debut in Spring. Anthem of the Seas, sister ship of Royal Caribbean Quantum of the Seas, will also launch in Spring. Norwegian Cruise Line will introduce a new ship class when Norwegian Escape launches in October. All of these ships will introduce new dining and entertainment options for cruise passengers.
These new ships add capacity to these cruise lines and give you additional options. Besides new ships, existing ships are getting face-lifts with new features being added, primarily based on passenger feedback and acceptance of the features on recent ship builds on the same or other cruise lines. Royal Caribbean Explorer of the Seas is just one example of the changes being made to enhance passenger experiences with the addition of Oasis-class enhancements.
Just like picking a hotel room for a land-based trip, you can also apply your preferences to the cruise ship, which will serve as your floating hotel. Some people prefer small ships, while others only sail on the newest and largest vessels. With the increasing number of ship modifications and additions, we are confident that your want list can be satisfied. We can help you narrow the field to those ships that meet your needs. On the Allure and Oasis of the Seas, there are over 37 different cabin categories to chose from - we will help simplify your selection.
Where Do YOU Want to Go
What is on your bucket list of destinations or cruise ships?
Is 2015 the year you plan to complete a trip from that list? Whether it's a far away exotic destination like Asia, Australia, and the South Pacific or something close-by like Bahamas and the Caribbean, you'll find a cruise ship sailing to your ports of call of choice.
Land or Sea ...Choice is Yours
We still feel strongly that cruising is the best vacation value, but we realize there are times when you want more time in the destination or some other reason compels you to select land-based travel. Resorts & Tours Overview
New Year Resolutions
It's that time of year to make New Year resolutions. Some of you will
decide to make changes in your lifestyle which will improve your health -
such as healthy eating or exercising. For those that haven't been on a
cruise before, that doesn't mean you have to forgo your trip.
There are full-service spas and fitness centers on most cruise ships and healthy menu choices available throughout the day. Cruise lines will be happy to accommodate any special dietary requirements - just be sure to tell your cruise specialist at the time of booking so that notes can be put on your reservation.
We hope that you add a resolution to take some time for yourself to regenerate. Plan some vacation time on a cruise ship or at one of the many resort destinations. Sign up for our newsletter to be notified of special offers in the upcoming months.
