The Caribbean

If you want to escape to somewhere more exotic (and perhaps warmer), our Caribbean cruises stop in multiple island destinations.

Visit the white-sand beaches of Cozumel and the quirky town of Key West on a Western Caribbean cruise. In the Southern Caribbean, visit the stunning ABC islands of Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao. See the wondrous pitons of St. Lucia or take a dip in Magens Bay in St. Thomas on an Eastern Caribbean cruise.

Transcontinental Cruises

One of the simplest and most luxurious ways to discover the world is to take a transcontinental cruise that sails between two continents. Known as repositioning cruises, cruise ships traverse oceans on their way to a new region for an upcoming cruise season.

Not only are repositioning cruises an excellent way to travel on a luxury cruise around the world, they are also usually offered at a great price and provide travelers with multiple days at sea to relax and enjoy all of the amenities and entertainment options on board.

Choose from two types of repositioning cruise itineraries: Transatlantic sailings from Europe to North America and South America (or vice versa); and transpacific sailings from the South Pacific or Asia to North America (or vice versa).
