Cruises

Cruises are a great way to see more of the world without checking in and out of hotels, unpacking once, and being able to come back to your luxurious room at the end of each day.

Some cruises even offer overnight stays in different ports, as they did on the Holland America Maasdam. I saw six different countries on their southeast Asia cruise, including spending one day in Singapore where the cruise began and ended. I even took a Thai cooking class, which is my favorite way to explore a new cuisine.

Of course, you don't have to fly to the other side of the world to cruise. Norwegian cruises to places like Bermuda and Alaska. Check out the best time to cruise to Alaska or read more about New York to Bermuda to start planning.
