The Top Ten Cruises Destinations

Antarctica

This is a special cruise where passengers see penguin colonies, soaring glacier cliffs and calving icebergs. It is a high cost cruise but much worth it, and the best time to travel will be between Mid December to late February (sea and weather are most agreeable then). Cruise ships do not operate from March to September (the Antarctic winter).

You'll explore the remote islands where Charles Darwin observed unique wildlife that supported his evolution theory. This cruise runs from Mid April to mid May because is when we have the clear skies, warm weather, calm seas.

South Pacific

Destinations include lush tropical paradises like the Polynesian and Fiji Islands. The one drawback on this cruise is the long open ocean travel to and between the islands is not for everyone. There is no specific times to travel except that varies by the location (the South Pacific covers a broad area).

Mediterranean

Many exciting regions, including the French Riviera, Greek Islands, Italian Ligurian Coast and Spanish Costa del Sol.  Some ports of call can be tourist-packed in summer. The best time to travel on this cruise is May to September (warmest months). We do not recommend that our customers travel from November to March.

Alaska

You quietly sail by glaciers, fjords and snow-capped jagged peaks, with stops at several photogenic ports. And you can helicopter onto remote glaciers for dog sledding. In Alaska there is a drawback when traveling on May and September because can be nippy in May and September (the first and last month of the five-month season). The best time we recommend is June to August (warmest months). June offers a bonus: longer daylight for sightseeing.

Fjords of Norway

Sail inside massive, narrow, steep-cliffed fjords. These natural wonders are awesome, humbling and beautiful. The best time to go are June to August, and the worst time is during cold months.

Baltic Sea

You visit a smorgasbord of Scandinavian cities (Copenhagen, Helsinki, Stockholm and Tallinn) plus St. Petersburg in Russia. Best time to travel would be August. We do not recommend travel during cold months.

Caribbean

You can visit many nation islands and the trips between the ports are short. The Caribbean Islands lack the tropical lushness of the Hawaiian and South Pacific Islands. Pick the monthas of January and February for travel preferences (perfect nearly every day). Mid-June to early December are not so good for this cruise because of hurricane-threat period.

Hawaiian Islands

Voyagers view the dramatically cleaved, green-clad volcanic cliffs dropping down to the sea. This cruise is one the best but ship stay longer on ocean from the USA mainland. Almost every day would be good to travel, thanks to the location of this tropical paradise.

Mexico

Acapulco, Puerto Vallarta and other west coast ports of call along the Mexican Riviera come alive with strong margaritas and lively mariachi bands. This is not a quiet place for those who come to relax may find the scene hyper energetic. November to April  are the best time for traveling (drier, less humid and not quite as hot as the summer period).
