We've sailed them ourselves — over 30 times

Eileen and Nancy have cruised all the major cruise lines together more than 30 times, so the first conversation is never about price. It's about who's traveling, what you want your days at sea to feel like, and which ship fits.

Eileen is a certified Cruise Specialist, and Nancy holds expert certifications with Norwegian Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean and Carnival. We're also active members of Cruise Lines International (CLIA).

Five ways to sail

Which kind of cruise is yours?

The classic

Ocean cruises

Big ships, lots of choice and strong value — pools, shows, dining for every taste, and a new port most mornings. The easiest way to see several islands or countries in one trip, and a great first cruise.

Suggested destinationsCaribbean, Bahamas, Mexico, Bermuda, Alaska, Mediterranean

Best timingCaribbean year-round (best Dec–Apr); Alaska May–Sep; Mediterranean Apr–Oct

Ideal forFirst-timers, couples, groups

Lines to ask about: Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Carnival, Celebrity, Princess and more

Ask about ocean cruises

Unpack once

River cruises

Small ships of around 150–190 guests that dock in the heart of town, with guided walks in nearly every port and most meals, wine and excursions included. Calm water, no sea days — Europe simply drifts past your window.

Suggested destinationsDanube, Rhine, Seine, Douro, Rhône; Mississippi

Best timingApr–Oct; Christmas-market sailings late Nov–Dec (book early)

Ideal forHistory lovers, unhurried travelers

Lines to ask about: Viking, Tauck and other river lines

Ask about river cruises

Nature first

Expedition cruises

Small, rugged ships with naturalists on board, Zodiac landings and an itinerary that bends with the weather and the wildlife. Fewer formal nights, far more time outside — glaciers, whales, penguins and places big ships can't reach.

Suggested destinationsAlaska's Inside Passage, Galápagos, Antarctica, the Arctic

Best timingAlaska May–Sep; Antarctica Nov–Mar; Arctic Jun–Aug; Galápagos year-round

Ideal forWildlife, photography, adventure

Lines to ask about: Expedition lines and small-ship specialists

Ask about expedition cruises

All-suite

Luxury cruises

More space per guest, all-suite staterooms and fares that genuinely include drinks, gratuities, specialty dining and often excursions. Smaller ships reach smaller, more interesting ports — the headline price is higher, but the final bill is often closer than you'd expect.

Suggested destinationsMediterranean, Greek Isles, Northern Europe, Caribbean, Tahiti

Best timingMediterranean May–Oct; Caribbean Nov–Apr

Ideal forCelebrations, honeymoons, seasoned cruisers

Lines to ask about: Viking Ocean, Celebrity and luxury lines
