Some of the best cruises are planned around a reason: a reunion, a honeymoon, a passion for jazz or wine, or a need for an accessible ship. These trips depend on details, which is why our specialists ask so many questions.
Group Cruises & Family Reunions
A cruise is one of the easiest ways to bring a group together: everyone chooses their own cabin and budget, meals and entertainment are taken care of, and nobody has to cook or drive. Groups of eight or more cabins can earn extra amenities or a reduced fare from the cruise line, depending on the line and sailing.

Family Cruises
Kids clubs, water parks, family suites and connecting cabins make cruising a great multigenerational vacation. Ask about kids-sail-free promotions and which ships have the facilities your children will love.
Honeymoons, Weddings & Vow Renewals
Many lines offer onboard or in-port wedding packages and vow-renewal ceremonies, and a cruise makes an easy honeymoon or destination wedding for your guests. Tahiti, the Caribbean, the Mediterranean and Hawaii are favorites.

Singles & Solo Cruises
More ships now have studio cabins priced for one, and many lines run solo-traveler meetups. Look for sailings with reduced or waived single supplements.

Accessible Cruising
Modern ships offer accessible cabins with wider doors and roll-in showers, elevators to every deck, pool lifts, and services for guests with hearing or vision impairments. Medical facilities, dietary needs and mobility equipment can usually be arranged in advance. Accessibility varies by ship and especially by port (tender ports are the hardest), so this is a cruise to plan with a specialist, not to book alone.
Food & Wine Cruises
Culinary voyages feature guest chefs, cooking classes, wine pairings and market tours in port. River cruises through Bordeaux, Burgundy, the Douro and the Rhine and Mosel are especially popular with wine lovers.

Music & Theme Cruises
Full-ship charters and theme cruises built around music, sports, history, wellness, culture or a hobby, with performers, speakers and like-minded fellow guests. Popular theme cruises often sell out early.

Meetings, Incentives, Conventions & Charters
Ships make efficient meeting venues: rooms, meals, conference space and entertainment are in one price, and attendees stay together. For incentive trips or conventions, a full or partial ship charter is possible, from small yachts to large ships.
