Six Cruise Myths Debunked

We always say that travel broadens the mind and enriches your life through the experiences you encounter and the memories you make. That’s why our expert team of travel advisors use all their knowledge and expertise to make sure you get the very best vacation, no matter what your preferred travel style may be.

Partnering with some of the world’s most prestigious, luxury cruise operators, we bring an extra layer of insight, enhancements, and upgrades — just one of the many benefits of using our services. A cruise is something you need to experience in order to appreciate its full wonders, but for the uninitiated it can create a variety of negative perceptions. So allow us to debunk six of the most common cruise myths to dispel any apprehensions you might have.

Myth 1: Cruises spend too much time at sea

Enjoy more of your time in chosen destinations with evening and overnight stays, with cruising at sea limited to the time spent between full days in ports. Explore the local culture, beaches, and iconic landmarks at your leisure when you go ashore, knowing that you’ll be returning to the finest ships with all the luxury amenities you could ask for while at sea.

Unpack once – and once only – with cruising over oceans allowing you to visit multiple key destinations without dragging your suitcases around.

Myth 2: Cruises have limited food choices

Indulge in some of the finest culinary experiences while on board with our cruise partners, such as Oceania Cruises, where menus are set by Michelin-star chefs, and flavors are inspired by your destinations. Take your pick between multiple dining areas and restaurants aboard many of the larger ships, offering both your traditional favorites and regional specialties — and don’t forget to delve further into your chosen ports with local markets, cafes, and eateries for a truly authentic experience.

Myth 3: Cruises are boring

Take entertainment to a new level no matter what that looks like for you. Pamper yourself in onboard spa and wellness centers or sip cocktails by the pool. Alternatively, satiate your inquisitive side with talks from marine biologists and other specialists aboard an expedition ship as you travel to some of the world’s most awe-inspiring destinations.

Learn more about the local culture between ports, too, with onboard entertainment from local performers that expands your understanding as you travel. There are so many options that you’ll never be stuck for something to occupy your mind and your senses.

Myth 4: Cruises are crowded

Find a slice of personal paradise no matter which ship you’re on. Whether you request a suite with a private veranda, hire a cabana on the deck, or sign up for Celebrity Cruises’ Retreat suites that feature a private pool and restaurant exclusively for a small number of passengers, there’s always a way to enjoy some time to yourself or with your travel companions.

Designed to incorporate the most stylish features, beautifully crafted ships accommodate large passenger numbers easily, with a sense of freedom and space throughout. Meanwhile, many luxury cruise operators also offer small ship vacations for a more intimate experience and a better crew-to-passenger ratio so that you always receive attentive and friendly service.

Myth 5: You can’t cruise alone

Empower yourself with a solo journey to a destination you’ve always dreamed of visiting, an option many of the best luxury cruise operators now offer. Arrange an itinerary with our luxury travel advisors tailored exclusively to the experiences you seek and the sights you want to take in.

Make friends with fellow passengers and other solo travelers for shared experiences and the chance to socialize with like-minded companions.
