An important element of selecting a great cruise is figuring out the one which will be best for your specific needs. Cruises can be categorised into multiple types, depending upon their themes, and whether you are going solo or with your family.
They might vary also based on the luxury level and their corresponding features. Let’s make the selection task easier by telling you about some top kinds you can consider.
Casino cruises
As evident, these cruises are ideal for gambling lovers who’d like to do nothing but indulge in stress-free gambling, away from the hustle and bustle of land-based casino destinations.
There are all kinds of casino cruises available in this category, ranging from superyacht casino cruises, high-stakes casino cruises to sophisticated casino cruises and more. You can find more details on them by visiting the linked-to page above.
Family cruises
These are family-friendly cruises which have kids’ clubs and programs targeted at keeping children of all age groups entertained. In order to locate the right family-friendly cruise, you should seek one that has appropriate activities for your kids’ age group, for instance, kids-focused evening entertainment, water slides, pools, cartoon characters, indoor games and more.
Please make sure that you have gone through activities which are complimentary and the ones that cost extra. Enquire beforehand if the ship provides on-board baby-sitting services so you can spend some alone time with your spouse; and whether you’re allowed to leave the ship if the kids are taken care of. In case you’re travelling with a baby, an on-board creche is a must.
Solo or singles cruises
Specifically meant for single or solo travellers, these cruise lines are usually equipped with single occupancy cabins, and in case they don’t, solo supplements are not charged. Then there are cruise lines that specifically facilitate cruise groups for individual travellers.
While looking for such vacations, you should opt for liners that provide solo services such as activities that facilitate meet ups with other singles on board.
Couples or adult-only cruises
As is evident, these adult-only cruises are targeted specifically at adult couples who’d like to spend some romantic time away from their kids and/or family. There are many companies that operate such 18+ only cruise lines, such as P&O, Viking Ocean Cruises and more.
In the event that you can’t locate any such specific cruise for your travel dates, you can even seek ships which don’t offer amenities geared towards children and families, or the ones that offer adults-only activities.
Adventure cruises
If cabaret, water slides, gambling etc. are not your piece of cake and you’d like to explore remote villages and nature-watching instead, adventure cruises might be the best choice for you.
These cruise lines feature smaller ships that can take you to the remotest destinations like the Amazon, Arctic Norway, Galapagos Islands or the Antarctica. The shore excursions offered by these cruises are comparatively wilder, involving activities like mountain climbing, white-water rafting etc. And while on-board, you might be offered sessions with historians and/or wildlife experts too.
