Where to Cruise

The typical pictures which pop up in people's heads when they think about cruises are those of the gorgeous beaches of the Caribbean or Hawaii. But of course these are not the only possible destinations; there are other places which are just as great. So besides taking the cruise as a chance to relax around beautiful beaches, it can also be seen as an expedition of various designs like going for a different type of climate or for extraordinary places. In the following outline, you can find some places which most people normally wouldn't think of as cruise destinations.

A beautiful area for a cruise is around the Greek islands, which, of course, are part of the top vacation destinations in general, but only seldom thought of as a cruising paradise. The remarkable thing about this destination is the fact that, in addition to the pleasure of the blue ocean and the lovely beaches, you are exposed to the scene of rich cultural heritage and amazing ancient architecture. You can meet and then find out more about the very friendly and hardworking native people. With their acquaintance, you might get to know a new side of yourself as well. And last but not least, the traditional Greek food is definitely another big plus for this destination.

If you're looking for a beautiful and luxurious accommodation on board as well as on shore along with a broad range of cultural experiences during various tours matching your individual desire for adventures- then Northern Africa is the place to go. It offers a range of possibilities for cruises; from Libya to Egypt to Morocco... You can also go on guided land expeditions through the ruins of long gone cultures and lodge in renovated castles with exclusive accommodation. The marketplace should be your preferred choice for genuine souvenirs, instead of gift shops or the cruise boat itself.

Another very uncommon idea for a place to go on a cruise is Antarctica - but that's exactly what makes it such an attractive alternative. It is an area where you can feel an end of the world atmosphere. The rare population and the missing development give space to an outstanding wildlife. Of course this surrounding requests a different and maybe a bit more elaborated packing list than a cruise into an environment with less extreme conditions. Still, this continent with its few inhabitants is definitely worth seeing and it will be a valuable experience to get in touch with this mysterious culture.

The last special destination we would like to bring in is Costa Rica. Its rainforests make it a land famous for its fascinating nature with some very rare and exciting wildlife. If you try to imagine the beautiful beaches and warm climate in this scenery, you will probably agree that this a fantastic vacation spot. With volunteer projects you have as well lots of possibilities to spend your holiday actively and in a meaningful way. Or you can take part in a programme in which you'll stay with a local family and thus get a great chance to learn a lot about their culture and live experiences which will enrich your personality.
