To each his own style

There are many kinds of cruises. Ask yourself what you really want. Would you like a rather relaxed cruise, or on the contrary with a lot of animation on board?

Study the options

Before signing up for a cruise, be sure to check out what you are entitled to for free and what to add to the base price. Some cruises are “all inclusive”, but there are others that instead offer only a basic package with many paid options. Beware of bad surprises.

Choose the destination

Ports of Call

Depending on the cruise you choose, you will have to make more or fewer stops. Take this into account when making your reservation. Are you the type to like visiting or on the contrary to stay on the boat as much as possible in idleness?

Seasickness?
