U.S. Virgin Islands – This popular set of islands is a hotspot for holiday cruise ship tourism. St Thomas is the port of choice for shoppers. There are many other attractions and beautiful beaches, as well. A lot of holiday cruise ships focus their trip on St .Thomas alone, and the passengers are not disappointed.

Egypt – Is a great destination for winter sun as even in December as temperatures rarely drop below 25 °C. The Red Sea Riviera is a popular choice for many holiday makers. You can have a go at snorkelling and scuba-diving, or play a game of golf in the glorious sunshine.

Dubai – Go to stylish Dubai for its famous beaches. You can shop till you drop in the amazing shopping malls or hang out the beautiful beaches. An exotic taste of the Middle East combined with the best of the West.

Australia / New Zealand – New Zealand has only recently become a destination for cruise holidays. This area has rapidly risen in popularity contests, as its breathtaking natural surroundings are second to none with its glaciers and hidden beaches.

Hong Kong – Hong Kong offers visitors some great amenities and an opportunity to understand the results of capitalism blending with communism.

Panama Canal – The Panama Canal is perhaps the world’s most amazing engineering project. This destination shows man’s fingerprints on nature as the canal links two oceans and separates continents. It’s pretty impressive despite the heat and humidity, but cruising the Panama Canal means you can cool off in the sea.

Northern Lights cruises – Discover Norway in the winter on an Arctic adventure in search of the Northern Lights. Sail inside massive, narrow, steep-cliffed fjords. These natural wonders are incredibly beautiful and well worth visiting.
