Cruise Month Mini-Series



Plan a Cruise Month Banner



When compared to a land vacation, cruising offers a number of benefits: 
  • You can tailor your experience based on your budget, selecting specific accommodations, dining arrangements and even shore excursions. Most cruises already include dining, entertainment, and gratuities, offering options for even the most cost conscious traveler.
  • Additional expenses may include drinks, casino play, spa treatments, shore excursions and shopping. 
  • For those looking to indulge a bit more, many cruises offer additional premium dining options, entertainment and even exclusive spaces, such as spas, pools and restaurants. 
  • A week onboard one cruise ship will offer you a chance to experience a number of enticing destinations, across the globe. In one week, many ships sailing through the Caribbean will bring guests to four exciting ports of call, whereas a land based resort only offers the same destination each day. 
  • A cruise experience offers you the ability to experience as much, or as little of the world as you prefer. Cruises also offer the most flexibility in pricing, allowing all travelers the opportunity to cruise with their preferred budget in mind.
  • It is one of the safest travel options in the midst of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.

October is Plan a Cruise Month – a worldwide movement to learn more about, plan and take a cruise vacation. The campaign offers advice, special cruise line deals and promotions as well as experts to help navigate the many cruise vacation options available for every travel style and budget.

Before we get into our normal selection of general cruise vacation information, our mini-series will focus the large elephant in the room: COVID-19 and what it means to cruise travel.  We will also include posts on popular cruise destinations.  A recent Cruise Travel Report cited destination as the most important factor, for cruisers and non-cruisers alike, influencing vacation choice.

We are adding new content and updating past posts.  Bookmark this blog post and come back throughout the month for updated content. Be sure to follow us on other social media as well.  Where do you want to go?

October 1 - 31, 2021
 
If you've ever thought about going on your first cruise, October is the time to begin that journey.



Fall is the Perfect Time for Vacationers to Plan a Trip at Sea  


We're joining with member travel agencies from the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) across the US and Canada to host Plan a Cruise Month. Through a multi-dimensional campaign, the cruise industry has come together to help everyone fall in love with cruising by featuring unprecedented cruise vacation offers - from discovering new cruises and destinations to receiving the best cruise deals and promotions.  Visit Book a Cruise Month for additional details. 

Cruising is all about you. You can find adventure, culture and education or, relax the day away. Dine on fine cuisine. Indulge at the spa. Reconnect with family. Share romantic moments. All this, in the destination of your choice, for a few days, a week or more, on a cruise that's right for you.

In the digital age, some believe travel agents to be an unnecessary and outdated step in planning a cruise vacation, but this simply isn’t the case. To uncover the truth, here are three common travel agent myths, and the real facts.
