- Cruises
There are many different cruise options, from sailing in the Caribbean on a large vessel, to a transatlantic crossing on an Ocean liner, to a luxury ship sailing the Greek Isles. Cruising has changed over the years and now there is an option for everyone from a large ship to a small luxury vessel. Cruising gives you the opportunity to explore different locations while only unpacking once. - River Cruises
River cruising is a wonderful way to experience immersive, classic destinations like Europe, Russia, China, or South America, as well as America’s rivers and Alaska. Passengers can vacation with gracious service, comfortable accommodations, and discover new and fabled places and cultures. Passengers enjoy the small ship feel with no lines; no large crowds onboard, no waiting to get on or off the ship, no need to tender into ports. And there’s always something amazing to see, be it a mountain, a castle, or a wonder of the world, on either side of the ship. - All-inclusive resorts

But that’s only the beginning: tons of activities and entertainment, as well as taxes and tips, are included as well, so you won’t get shocked by hidden fees on check-out. Many upscale resorts add excursions and other luxury perks to the package. You can leave your money in your wallet and your wallet in your room. - Escorted Tours
