What is a cruise vacation?

A cruise vacation takes you around the world’s greatest destinations on board a cruise ship. A cruise ship is like a large floating resort, with all the comforts of a hotel and plenty of activities onboard. A cruise vacation is perfect for those looking to explore by land and sea.

What should I wear on a boat vacation?

What you pack for your boat tour or sailing vacation varies wildly between destinations. If you’re sailing in the Mediterranean, it’s best to wear light, quick-drying clothing and non-slip deck shoes. Be sure to pack your swimsuit, hat and sunglasses. If you’re cruising in Canada or Alaska, you’ll need warm layers including a water and windproof jacket for outdoor activities.

Where can I sail in the summer?

Some of the best destinations for summer sailing vacations include the French Riviera, the southern islands of Thailand, the Mediterranean coastline along Croatia, Montenegro, Slovenia and Italy, and the Aegean Sea around Greece, Turkey, Israel, Cyprus and Egypt.
