Your First Cruise








Short cruises close to home might seem like an easy way to try cruising,
but maybe you should aim higher.

Peterhof, Russia
Being on a cruise ship going anywhere gives you the opportunity to enjoy terrific meals, world class entertainment and the pleasure of being at sea on a floating resort, but to know why cruises have higher satisfaction levels than any other vacation, why not choose a dream destination as your goal?

Most people don't dream of going to Ensenada, though you can certainly have a good time there.  Lots of Americans, however, dream of the French Riviera, the British Isles, Italy and the Dalmatian Coast, Norway, Greece and Turkey, Scandinavia and Russia, or sunny Spain.  Make your dreams come true.
 
Cruising makes visiting Europe easy. 
 
Ephesus, Turkey
Many of the greatest cities in history relied on seaports to trade with the world, and their greatest treasures have been preserved and even enhanced over time.
 
River cruises add most of the great inland cities on the continent which needed access to rivers for transportation in the era before trains, planes and automobiles.

Choices in Europe could fill your vacations for a lifetime, but it's a great big world out there, and we each have our own ideal destination.  You'll know yours, because just reading the name will trigger visions of great adventures.
 
How about going down under to Australia and New Zealand?  Or have you always dreamed of visiting exotic Asia, possibly including Japan, China, India or even Viet Nam?  What about South America or the Panama Canal? 
 
Bora Bora
Don't forget those locations most associated with cruising, the Caribbean, Mexican Riviera and amazing South Pacific islands of Tahiti, Bora Bora and Moorea. 

Or enjoy some fantastic trips with no language barrier in the United States and Canada with a cruise to Alaska, Canada/New England or Hawaii.

Do any of these locales excite you?  Can you imagine some of the amazing sites you'd experience? 

Venice, Italy
Cruising makes all these destinations accessible to you.  Explore all day on your own or with guided excursions.  Whether you speak the language in the lands you visit or not, you'll be able to return home each evening to your home away from home, greeted by a crew ready to graciously serve you.  Instead of expensive meals and boring evenings watching TV in the wrong language, you'll enjoy sumptuous dinners without worrying about prices, world class entertainment without cover charge and relaxing hot tubs and pools as you glide to your next port of call.
 

Sydney, Australia
If you've never cruised before, however, the thought of planning such a big trip can be intimidating.  Fortunately, you have a friend in the industry.  I will be happy to help you find the perfect itinerary for your desires, including the perfect ship and the right room to give you the best travel experience for the money you have to spend.
 
Live your dreams.
