Travel Cruise: There IS an Ideal Vacation for Everyone!

Having fun on a ship

Sure, we’ve all heard about travel cruises. It’s basically being on a ship for a few days going to the most exciting destinations while experiencing complete relaxation and incredible fun while being on a travel ship. It is one of the things that is on top of almost everyone’s “List of Things to Do in this Lifetime”. But do you know that there is a travel cruise for just about any individual or group out there? Here is a rundown of the more popular ones:

Family Vacation Packages:

With trips like these, activities are geared more towards the enjoyment of the kids although the adults have their share of wholesome fun too. The more popular family-friendly holiday ships are the Disney Cruise Lines which transport you to a magical world of pleasure and entertainment that the Disney franchise is widely known for.

The Royal Caribbean International has also launched a Nickelodeon Family Cruise that gives kids the chance to sail the seas with their favorite Nick characters like Dora the Explorer, Sponge Bob Square Pants, Aang the Avatar, and others. This first venture met amazing success that the organizers have decided to come up with two Nickelodeon travel runs for 2009.

Singles Cruise:

This is the travel experience for those who are not only looking for a way to get away from life’s stresses but also looking to meet new friends, adventure partners, and perhaps another eligible single with whom a meaningful relationship is possible. And what better way of getting to know other people better than being in an environment where you have loads of time to while away on events like speed dating, social gatherings, on-shore tours, and even dance lessons.

Couples Cruise:

Think romance, sunset, and poetry and you usually come up with a romantic voyage. Aside from the view from your private verandah, ships have come up with unique couples-only offers to add to that “love is in the air” feeling. Could anything get dreamier than having a retro drive-in movie night, snuggling on padded loungers and under woolen blankets on a starry night? And that’s after availing of a couples’ massage in the liner’s exclusive spa and then having a private 5-course dinner on the balcony with lobster on top of the menu. These treats are just tops for a honeymoon or anniversary celebrations.

Seniors Cruise:

Who says only the young can have the time of their lives? The elderly can spend their retirement with a bang too. Trips for the seniors are available in most luxury shipping companies, where aside from the usual amenities like pools, spas, and nightly entertainment, there are also a slew of activities and facilities that are tailored to fit their interests and needs. For instance, these travel packages include enrichment lectures instead of the more physically demanding activities. Medical services and facilities for those with disability are easily on hand, and special diets are available too upon request. Whatever one’s age is, it is never too late to see more of the world, and have fun doing it.

Corporate Cruises:

In this day and age, lectures, conferences, and even important meetings are not only being done in conventional function rooms or power boardrooms. Luxury ships can also cater to these events, proving that sometimes, business and pleasure do mix. This trip can also be a great incentive for performing teams or individuals, and can be an ideal venue for corporate team building. With some trips lasting only as short as 3 to 4 days, most of the corporate packages run a shorter time than usual tours but just as worthwhile an experience.
