CRUISES
  
 

Cruises offer a new vacation option. Cruise vessels are designed as a resort at sea. They are one of the few all-inclusive vacations that offer travel, accommodation, food and entertainment. Passengers now recognize the value offered by the cruise lines, giving them an opportunity to visit several different places without the need to pack and unpack, at an affordable price that cannot be matched by air plus land vacation alternatives.

All cruise fares include the actual water transportation, the cabin, nearly all the food and all the entertainment as part of the package. On some ships there are specialty restaurants, which offer more choice in dining options, sometimes for an extra price. The extras on board usually include shop purchases, shore excursions and personal items and drinks from the bar.

The amenities on a cruise ship will include casinos, swimming pools, spas, and fitness centers. On board most cruise ships have libraries, cinemas, Internet cafes, bars and deck sports including table tennis, shuffleboard, golf practice nets and sometimes handball. The cruise ship offers a complete destination in itself and passengers may not need to go ashore to supplement the entertainment that is available on board.
