Top Trends in Cruise Travel




A number of lines have launched initiatives including advanced wastewater purification, shore power, LED lighting, solar power and products made from recycled materials. Greener cruise ships Cruise lines are taking advantage of the latest environmental technology to reduce their carbon footprint. Older ships are emerging from their new makeovers with new balconies, improved pool areas, updated children and teen areas, more dining venues, and larger spa facilities.

By "remodeling" what they already own they can add all of the features of the new 'mega-builds', which many cruisers appreciate.

With so many ships in these close-in markets, in 2010 the competition for your cruise dollar will be fierce.

All total, there are some 30 close-to-home departures in the United States and Canada. More homeport cruising Being able to drive to a cruise offers great convenience, not to mention tremendous cost savings by not having to buy airline tickets.
