Cruising can be adventurous. A world cruise brings you in contact with the ports that lead to adventure gateways. Any segment on a world cruise gives an opportunity to explore both the culture and the natural and physical aspects of a country.
The great thing about cruising is that you can experience as much of a country as you want while still returning to your already unpacked 5 star cabin or suite where you know the service will be impeccable day in and day out. You can be active one day and be pampered in the spa the next. The cuisine is always mouth watering and the wine selection aboard the ships has become phenomenal.
Cruising is no longer the stuffy, formal atmosphere and rigid setting it was perceived as. Today there is a variety of dinning options if you do not prefer to dress for a formal dinner. Most of the luxury cruise ships are country club casual all the time. With the coming of age of the baby boomers, the luxury cruise industry is seeing a younger and younger passenger. They are now catering to the adventurous side of this free spirit both onboard and in their shore excursions.
The luxury cruise lines I like and recommend are SilverSea which is serving an ever younger clientele, Crystal Cruises which is known for its impeccable service and unique itineraries. Then in between Luxury and Premier (which is large ships with luxury service) is Oceania Cruises. I find the services offered and the accommodations and itineraries with a comfortable country club casual atmosphere to be an ideal cruise line for the younger luxury cruiser looking for adventure and experiential relaxation.
Please contact me for more information or recommendations on which of these cruise lines and their itineraries will be perfect for your adventurous spirit.
