Resort-style ships
Plenty to do, day and night.
Larger ships can offer an enormous choice of dining, entertainment and activities, making them especially appealing for families and groups.
Ocean Cruises
Find the ship that feels like your kind of vacation.
Ocean cruising can mean almost anything you want it to mean - relaxed and intimate, lively and action-packed, family-friendly, adults-focused or somewhere beautifully in between.
Start Planning an Ocean CruiseMore than one kind of cruise
The ship matters just as much as the itinerary.
Two ocean cruises visiting similar places can feel completely different depending on the ship. Size, atmosphere, dining, entertainment, cabin choice and who the ship is designed for all shape the experience.
Quieter escapes
Space to slow things down.
Not every ocean cruise is busy or high-energy. The right ship can offer a calmer atmosphere and plenty of peaceful corners to enjoy the sea.
Dining and entertainment
Choose what matters to you.
Some ships excel at live entertainment and nightlife, while others focus more on dining, service and a relaxed evening atmosphere.
Sea days
Enjoy the journey too.
On the right ship, a day at sea can be one of the best days of the vacation, whether that means activities, spa time or simply watching the ocean.
Cabin choice
Your own space matters.
Inside, oceanview, balcony or suite? Cabin type and location can make a real difference, and the best choice depends on how you plan to use it.
Itinerary style
Ports or ship - or both?
Some travelers choose for the destinations. Others choose for the ship. The best ocean cruise balances the two in a way that suits you.
Choosing well
Ocean cruising gives you more choice than ever.
That is exciting, but it can also make choosing harder. Huge resort ships, premium ships, family-focused vessels, adults-only options and smaller ocean ships can all visit similar destinations while offering completely different vacations.
We help narrow that choice down by starting with how you actually want to spend your time.
Who does ocean cruising suit?
Almost anyone, if you choose the right ship.
That is why we avoid saying there is one "best" cruise line. The right choice depends on the people traveling, the atmosphere you want and the kind of days you imagine having.
Couples looking for a relaxed escape
Families and multigenerational groups
Adults who want nightlife and entertainment
Travelers who prefer quieter premium ships
First-time cruisers unsure where to begin
Anyone who loves unpacking once and seeing more
Understanding the price
Compare the whole vacation, not just the fare.
Drinks, gratuities, specialty dining, Wi-Fi and excursions are handled differently by different cruise lines. A lower headline fare does not always mean a lower total cost.

“The best ocean cruise is not the biggest ship, the newest ship or the most expensive ship. It is the one that fits the way you want to spend your vacation.”
Once we understand that, choosing between the ships and cruise lines becomes much easier.
