Ranking on cruises
are usually and supposedly based on the overall quality of the cruising
experience, not on its fame which can heavily influenced by proximity to the
home of the traveler.
Cruises are fun and
special, especially when spent not only for a respite from work but also with
loved ones when cruising becomes more meaningful. All cruise destinations are attractive,
moreso with the ever dynamic improvement of cruise ships in their goal to
provide the best luxurious cruising experience to everyone. Here are some of
the world’s best cruise destinations in alphabetical order which can highlight
your bonding even more.
Alaska
Sailing by glaciers
can be very quiet, pass through fjords and jagged peak that are snow-capped;
and having stops at many beautiful ports. You can even helicopter onto far
glaciers just for dog sledding. These can be real chilly in May and September,
which is the first and last month of the season. June to August are the warmest
months. June always offers longer daylight for more sightseeing. That indeed is
a generous bonus!
Antarctica
In Antarctica,
passengers can see colonies of penguin, calving icebergs and high cliffs of
glacier. Cruises here are between mid December to late of February when the sea
and weather are most friendly while cruise ships do not operate during the
Antarctic winter, which falls from March to September.
Baltic Sea
At the Baltic Sea
destination, you visit Scandinavian cities such as Helsinki, Tallinn, Stockholm
and Copenhagen. Not to be left out is the St. Petersburg in Russia. June to
August are the cold months.
Caribbean
You may visit a lot
of nation islands and the journeys between ports are usually short. Albeit the
Caribbean Islands lack the green lushness of its Hawaiian and South Pacific
Islands competitors, but it has made a reputable name for itself too. January
and February are excellent almost every day. Middle of June to early December
are periods of hurricane threats.
Fjords of Norway
Sail within narrow,
steep-cliffed and massive fjords as these natural gifts are amazingly awesome,
beautiful and humbling. June to August are the cold months here.
Galapagos
Charles Darwin made
this destination famous. It is in here that he observed distinctive wildlife
which backed up his evolution theory. Exploring the remote islands of Galapagos
usually happen in mid April to middle of May, when skies are clear, weather is
warm and the seas are tranquil.
Hawaiian Islands
Hawaiian Islands
cruising allows voyagers to sight volcanic cliffs that are clad in green,
dramatically cut and dropping down to sea. Long ocean trips from the mainland
of the United States are almost every day, courtesy of its tropical paradise
location.
Mediterranean
Mediterranean
destinations promise a lot of exciting places, which includes French Riviera,
Italian Ligurian Coast, Spanish Costa del Sol and the Greek Islands. Some ports
of call can of course, be packed by tourists during summer. Cruising schedules
are on warmest months of May to September and November to March.
Mexico
Puerto Vallarta,
Acapulco and some west coast ports of call along Mexican Riviera sprouts with
lively mariachi bands and strong margaritas. Those who come to lax may find the
place hyper energetic. November to April is less humid, drier and not so hot as
summer.
South Pacific
Destinations in the
South Pacific include paradises that are green and tropical, like the Fiji and
Polynesian. Long and open ocean travel between and to the islands is not for
everyone though as it differs by the location as South Pacific covers a large
area.
Other contenders
Other contenders for
top cruise destinations are New Zealand, Australia, Arctic, Northeast USA,
South America, Transatlantic and Southeast Canada.
Other good cruise
destinations, but not for sea cruises are the Yangtze river cruises, Rhine,
Nile, Mississippi, Danube and Amazon. The barge cruises are also good,
especially on the canals of Europe.
