Helpful Tips


If you're booking an international cruise, you'll probably need a passport. If you don't have one already, the time to get one is now (processing can take six to eight weeks).

Be warned--there's always a chance for stormy weather or choppy water, even with the most carefully laid plans.

Step 1 Choose a destination

You can go almost anywhere on a cruise, from tropical islands to the far corners of the planet. And cruises aren't limited to oceans or far-away destinations. Many companies offer trips along canals, rivers, and various coastlines.

But where you choose to go might limit the dates you can travel. For example, cruises to Alaska only run from late spring through early fall; European cruises don't usually sail in winter; and while tropical destinations offer cruises year-round, they also experience hurricane or typhoon seasons (which could certainly put a damper on things!). A little research in the beginning will go a long way in helping you decide the best combination of where and when to go.
