Looking to go on a vacation? Want to escape the stresses of work or just want to see a new environment? Taking a cruise is the perfect solution, as it incorporates travel, fun, and entertainment into one activity. Cruises are memorable and rarely displeasing, and are not as expensive as most people think.

Take for example a cruise to Bermuda. The islands and area surrounding the region are a beautiful supplement to an already perfect vacation. There is something for everybody on a Bermuda cruise, such as beaches, swimming, and snorkeling. Only a fraction of the total cruise vacation is spent on the boat itself. When you arrive on shore, you can quickly find a tour guide to show you all of the most popular and exotic locations.

Perhaps the best thing about a cruise is that your accommodations are already taken care of. You do not need to worry about finding a hotel or staying at someone else's place. At the end of the day, you can just come right back to the boat and stay in your own personal lodge. This alleviates worry, simplifies planning, and saves a lot of money. You can even come back to the boat to eat, although you will probably want to eat out frequently at the local restaurants.

Cruises are the ideal choice if you are looking to have an untraditional or extravagantly fun wedding. Instead of hosting the event at a church or other regular marriage location, why not do it on a cruise? It is guaranteed to be incredibly entertaining and more memorable than any other option. Cruise weddings are best for small weddings, since it is difficult to convince hundreds of people to join the cruise, and there may not be enough room. Also, there is some additional paperwork one needs to fill out if you choose to get married in another country, but it is relatively straightforward and does not take long.

There is no limit to the amount of places you can go on a cruise. You can see the Bahamas, Caribbean, Alaska, and amazing rain forests from all over the globe. Some cruises travel to multiple locations, allowing you to see a variety of sights all at once. After your first cruise, you will surely want to take another eventually, and you can use that next opportunity to see some place new.

Surprisingly, many people stay away from cruises because they have been swayed by certain myths. The most common one is that cruise vacations are lavishly expensive. In fact, most three day cruises are less than four hundred dollars, and even week long adventures are not much more. With rising air travel and hotel costs, cruises are actually usually cheaper than a regular vacation.

Another myth is that passengers do not have freedom to choose their own activities, that everything is strictly coordinated and controlled. Most cruises have a multitude of activities to choose from, and you can do whatever you want in whatever order you want. Others avoid cruises because they fear seasickness or other boat related illnesses. Cruises are very calm, and easy to adapt to after only a few hours. As a last resort, medical products are available to settle seasickness if one really needs it.

The last myth is that cruises are only for the elderly, which could not be further from the truth. People of all ages and backgrounds love cruises, and younger adults can enjoy more activities and use more energy than their older counterparts.
