This hub covers every cruise region we plan: the Caribbean and Bahamas from Florida and Texas, Alaska from Seattle and Vancouver, the Mexican Riviera from Los Angeles, the Mediterranean, Bermuda and New England, plus river, expedition and world sailings. Browse the destination pages below, then call to compare cruise packages by ship, date and cabin.

Why a cruise for your vacation

A cruise is the easiest way to see several destinations while unpacking once. Meals, entertainment and most onboard activities are bundled into the fare, and the ship moves overnight so every morning brings a new port. Cruise packages suit first-time travelers, multigenerational families and anyone who dislikes changing hotels.

Warm-water sailings are the most popular: Caribbean Cruises and short Bahamas Cruises leave from Florida almost daily, while Mexican Riviera Cruises sail from Los Angeles. For scenery, Alaska Cruises and Norwegian Fjords Cruises pass glaciers and fjords. Culture-focused travelers choose Mediterranean Cruises, Greek Isles Cruises and European River Cruises, which dock in the center of historic cities.

What's included in a cruise package

  • Round-trip flights on major airlines to the embarkation city, arriving the day before sailing
  • Your cruise fare on leading cruise lines, in the stateroom category you choose, with main dining, buffets, shows and pool decks included
  • A pre-cruise hotel night near the port, breakfast included or room only
  • Transfers between the airport, hotel and cruise terminal, and back on disembarkation day
  • Optional shore excursions, beverage packages, specialty dining and travel protection quoted alongside the fare
  • A dedicated agent who handles cabin changes, flight adjustments and questions before and during the trip

Best time to cruise

The Caribbean and Bahamas sail year-round. December through April brings the driest weather and the highest demand, especially over the holidays and spring break. Hurricane season runs June through November, peaking August through October; ships reroute around weather, and late summer fares are usually softer. The Alaska season runs May through September, with June through August warmest and busiest and May and September quieter and cooler.

The Mediterranean season runs April through October; May, June, September and early October offer warm seas and manageable crowds, while July and August are hot and crowded in the big ports. Bermuda sails April through October from the Northeast, New England foliage peaks in late September and October, and European river cruising runs March through December. Panama Canal, Antarctica and South Pacific voyages cluster in the Northern Hemisphere winter.

Where to stay: areas and resort styles

On board, the stateroom is your resort. Interior cabins are the most economical and suit travelers who spend their days ashore. Ocean-view cabins add a window, balcony cabins add private outdoor space that is especially worthwhile in Alaska, and suites add space, priority boarding and often a private restaurant. Families book connecting cabins, and solo travelers can ask about single studios on newer ships.

For the pre-cruise night, we book hotels close to the pier. In Miami that means downtown or Brickell, or the beach if you want an extra vacation day. Fort Lauderdale hotels sit minutes from the terminal along the beach and 17th Street. Port Canaveral travelers usually stay in Cocoa Beach or near Orlando, and Galveston offers seawall hotels a short drive from the pier. Seattle sailings pair with a downtown waterfront hotel, Los Angeles cruises depart from San Pedro and Long Beach, and New York area ships leave from Manhattan and Bayonne. For Alaska, Vancouver's Canada Place sits beside the terminal, while one-way Seward itineraries begin or end near Anchorage.

Things to do on a cruise vacation

Getting there from the US

Most sailings leave from US home ports, so the flight is domestic. Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Port Canaveral are roughly 2.5–3 hours nonstop from New York and 5–6 hours from the West Coast; Galveston is served through Houston; Seattle and Los Angeles are 5–6 hours from East Coast gateways. Mediterranean cruises usually begin in Barcelona, Rome or Venice, roughly 8–9 hours nonstop from the East Coast. Our cruise packages always fly you in the day before.

For closed-loop cruises that begin and end at the same US port, US citizens can technically sail with a birth certificate plus government-issued photo ID, but a valid passport is strongly recommended and is required for any itinerary that starts or ends abroad, including one-way Alaska cruises through Vancouver or Seward. Verify entry requirements for every port before travel. Onboard purchases are in US dollars on most ships, English is the working language, and the ship's clock is set daily.

Who this package suits

Couples and honeymooners like balcony cabins, adults-only decks and specialty dining. Families get kids' clubs, pools and multiple dining venues within one fare. Seniors appreciate accessible cabins and staffed excursions; ask about senior travel reservations. Reunions, weddings and church groups get cabins blocked together and coordinated group travel flights. For longer flights to Europe or Alaska, we price business class and first class upgrades with the package.

Cruise Packages: frequently asked questions

It depends on the region. The Caribbean is driest December through April, Alaska runs May through September with July and August warmest, and the Mediterranean is most pleasant in May, June, September and October. Late summer Caribbean sailings fall inside hurricane season but are quieter.

Most departures are domestic: Florida ports are roughly 2.5–3 hours nonstop from New York and 5–6 hours from the West Coast, while Seattle and Los Angeles are 5–6 hours from the East Coast. Mediterranean embarkation cities are about 8–9 hours nonstop from the East Coast.

For closed-loop sailings that start and end at the same US port, US citizens can technically use a birth certificate plus government photo ID, but a valid passport is strongly recommended and required for one-way or foreign-departure itineraries. Verify requirements for every port before travel.

The fare covers your cabin, main dining, buffets, entertainment and most activities. Alcohol, specialty restaurants, shore excursions, Wi-Fi, spa treatments and gratuities are usually extra unless you add a package. Your expert will quote those options alongside the fare so there are no surprises.

Yes. Most large ships have supervised kids' clubs by age group, pools, waterslides and family cabins, with children's menus in every dining room. Short Caribbean and Bahamas sailings from Florida are especially popular for a first family cruise because the flight is short.

Cruises are one of the easiest vacations for older travelers: unpack once, dine when you like, and choose excursions by activity level. Accessible cabins, elevators and onboard medical centers are standard on large ships. Ask about our senior travel reservations when you call.

Modern ships carry trained medical staff, run safety drills before sailing and adjust routes around weather. In port, use the same common sense as in any city: keep valuables on the ship, stick to established excursions and return well before all-aboard time. Travel protection is recommended.

Ships operate in US dollars and charge purchases to your cabin account. Daily gratuities for cabin and dining staff are usually added automatically per person, per day, and can be prepaid with the package. In port, small amounts of local currency or US dollars are handy for tips and taxis.

Six to twelve months ahead is ideal for holiday dates, Alaska summer sailings, balcony and suite categories and groups needing cabins together. Caribbean sailings in off-peak months can often be booked two to three months out, but flights and pre-cruise hotels are easier to pair when booked early.

Call +1 (323) 800 6001 any time, share your dates, home city and cabin preference, and a cruise expert will build two or three complete options with flights, hotel and transfers. Confirm the one you like, pay securely by phone and receive your documents by email.
