During the many days at sea, passengers are kept occupied and entertained by a wide assortment of amenities and activities, from spas and workout rooms to sports facilities, movie theaters, onboard enrichment programs, restaurants, lounges and daily activities from morning to night.
Before sailing around the world, there are a few things to keep in mind even after deciding which trip and ship suits you best. Make sure you have passports that will remain valid for at least six months after you return home. CMIC travel encourage passengers to have travel insurance and the proper immunizations and visas required for the journey. We also suggests passengers provide family and friends with the itinerary and contact information for the ship.
If you are unable to spend up to three months at sea, you can opt to take trips that combine two or three separate itineraries on the same ship.
You can book these back-to-back sailings and remain on board while others disembark. Wishing to see two diverse regions? try a sailing to Alaska and Hawaii, ranging from 19 to 29 days. Often departing from ports in these two distant states. However, some leave from Vancouver in the Canadian province of British Columbia and sail along the Inside Passage to Alaska before moving south to Hawaii.
Princess Cruises, offers a 27-day Alaska and Hawaii sailing that begins Sept. 5. Departing from Whittier, AK, aboard the Pacific Princess, travelers will visit Glacier Bay National Park in Alaska, culturally rich Vancouver, and the "garden isle" of Kauai in Hawaii, among many other sites, and disembark in the French Polynesian island of Tahiti.
Itineraries that combine Asia cruises with sailings of Australia and New Zealand provide the best that the Far East and Down Under have to offer. These trips, which range from 20 to 65 days, venture to some of the largest cities on both continents. For example while in Australia, explore the showcase metropolis of Sydney and its grand harbor. Attractions include the landmark Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge and Bondi Beach. In the tropical town of Cairns, the jumping-off point for the Great Barrier Reef, enjoy snorkeling, fishing, rafting and canoeing. In Melbourne, known as the Garden City, visit Fitzroy Gardens and the Royal Botanic Gardens.
