OCEAN CRUISES
Ocean Cruises Planned Around You
From Caribbean beaches to Alaska's glaciers, Kevin Smith finds the ship and cabin that fit.
An Ocean Cruise Is a Great Fit If…
01
You want beaches, sunshine and a few lazy sea days.
02
You’re traveling with kids, grandkids or a big group.
03
You like choices: shows, dining, pools and quiet corners on the same ship.
04
You want to see Alaska, the fjords or the Greek Isles from the water.
05
You’d like to unpack once and still visit several islands or countries.
06
You’re planning a celebration at sea: a reunion, a honeymoon or a vow renewal.
Where to Sail
Caribbean & Bahamas
Turquoise water, easy flights from New England, and short or long sailings. A favorite escape from a Maine winter.
Mexico
Mexican Riviera and Western Caribbean ports with Mayan ruins, snorkeling and great food.
Alaska
Glaciers, whales and wild coastline, best from May to September. Add a land tour to Denali if you can.
Mediterranean & Northern Europe
The Greek Isles, Italy and Spain, or the Norwegian fjords and Baltic capitals. Many ports in one trip.

The Right Ship and Cabin Make the Trip
Two cruises to the same island can feel nothing alike. Some ships are lively and full of families; others are quiet and grown-up. Cabin location matters too. Midship and lower decks feel steadier, and a balcony is worth it on scenic routes like Alaska. Kevin will ask how you like to travel, then point you to the right ship, deck and cabin, and steer you away from the ones that won’t suit you.

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on who’s traveling, your budget and the feel you want, from lively family ships to quiet, grown-up ones. Kevin helps clients choose between lines like Royal Caribbean, Virgin Voyages, Princess, Norwegian, Celebrity and MSC, and explains the differences plainly.
Think about budget, how much time you’ll spend in the room, and motion. Midship, lower-deck cabins tend to feel steadier, and balconies are worth it on scenic routes. Kevin will recommend specific cabins for you.
Alaska cruises sail from about May to September. The Caribbean sails year-round, with June through November being hurricane season. Kevin can help you weigh timing and travel insurance.
