Ocean cruising can mean almost anything today.
It might be a family vacation aboard a ship packed with entertainment, pools, restaurants, and activities. It could be an adults-only escape, a sophisticated premium experience, or an intimate elevated voyage where the ship carries only a few hundred guests.
The right choice depends on what you want from the experience.
Whether you're looking for a quick Caribbean getaway, Alaska's dramatic scenery, a summer in the Mediterranean, or a longer journey across the world, ocean cruising gives you an incredible combination of destinations and life at sea.

If you want the ship to be a major part of the vacation, today's larger ships offer an almost unbelievable amount to do.
Think entertainment, pools, water attractions, kids and teen spaces, specialty dining, nightlife, private destinations, and activities designed to keep everyone from young children to grandparents entertained.
Cruise lines to explore: Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Line, Disney Cruise Line, Carnival, MSC Cruises and Princess Cruises.
Sometimes the vacation gets better when the kids stay home.
Adults-only cruising combines dining, entertainment, nightlife, relaxation, and destinations with an atmosphere designed specifically for grown-up travelers.
Cruise line to explore: Virgin Voyages.
Premium cruising sits in a sweet spot for travelers who want an elevated experience without moving fully into ultra-luxury.
Expect more sophisticated ships, upgraded dining, thoughtful service, beautiful accommodations, and itineraries that often appeal to travelers who care just as much about where they're going as what they'll find onboard.
Cruise lines to explore: Celebrity Cruises, Holland America Line, Oceania Cruises, Azamara and Cunard.
When you're ready for smaller ships, more personalized service, exceptional dining, spacious accommodations, and a more inclusive experience, luxury cruising changes the pace considerably.
These ships often visit smaller ports, spend more time in destination, and create an onboard environment built around service, space, cuisine, and understated comfort.
Cruise lines to explore: Seabourn, Silversea, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, Crystal and Explora Journeys.

Warm water, beautiful beaches, private destinations, and an enormous variety of ships make the Caribbean one of the easiest places to begin—or keep—cruising.

Sail between Santiago and Buenos Aires, explore Patagonia and the Chilean fjords, round Cape Horn, or venture farther south toward Antarctica. South America combines spectacular scenery, wildlife, culture, and some truly remarkable ocean itineraries.

From Sydney and Melbourne to New Zealand's fjords, wine regions, coastal cities, and breathtaking landscapes, cruising Australia and New Zealand offers an incredible way to experience this part of the world.
