Great destinations for cruising: Greece, Turkey, the Baltic, Antarctica, Asia and Hawaii.

Cruising destinations. When choosing a cruise you will find out that there are much many cruise destinations than you could suppose. If you have already had a cruise holiday probably you would like to try something new. If you are a first time cruiser, it may be difficult for you to choose. If you do not know what to start with, check the itineraries below, maybe you can find something interesting for you and your family. In details I will tell you more about each destinations in other articles. In this one I will mention 5 in short. I am not speaking in this article about the most popular destinations like Caribbean, Alaska and Mexico, they are close to the US and already well known among tourists. Let’s check the ones that will let you know travel the world.

 Turkey and Greece. Turkey and Greece have very very small and beautiful islands to visit. Plus add to this great historical sights and ancient ruins that are easy to reach from the ports. Probably Turkey and Greece cruises are ideal for those who is looking for history and breathtaking views. In Turkey you will visit Ephesus ( though I have already been there, want to visit it once again, and highly recommend this site ). Myconos, Santorini, Thira and other islands of Aegean and Mediterranean. This is one of my favourite destinations.

The Baltic. The Baltic cruises also are famous for history, traditions, magnificent buildings and nature. From St. Petersburg ( Russia ) to Stockholm ( Sweden ) you will watch and walk the harbors, historical buildings and museums, in Copenhagen ( Denmark ) it is Tivoli Gardens and other beautiful sight seeings. Actually it is a good variant of visiting north countries. When you go to Europe and Russia it is difficult to make such a journey all in one, you have to choose. But really if you are going to St. Petersburg it is not a must to buy tickets to it’s or Moscow’s airport. Just take a cruise and visit all northern countries. Just be sure to check the list of shore excursions to get enough impression of this great “cold” countries.

Antarctica. One more cold place for cruising. If you have already had a cruise to Alaska you know what to expect: ice and it’s wild life. Cruising to Antarctica is a must for those who really loves cruises and want to see all by travelling by ship. Some advanced cruise travellers even call it the best cruise in the world! Yes,  a lot of us some day feed up with hot sunny countries with sand and sea, if you too, then next your destination must be Antarctica! Whales, albatross, penguins, elephant seals and of course icebergs! You will be very lucky if you have experts on the ship who will give some scientific information on nature and wild life in general.

 Asia cruises. What comes to your mind when you hear word Asia? Spicy food and overcrowded streets? have you ever been to Singapore and Hong Kong? Temples and the highest buildings will impress anybody who visit those Asian countries that develop so quickly today. The other Asian destinations are: Thailand, Vietnam, Burma and Malaysia. Nature of this countries is so different from the one you used to see in the US!

Hawaii islands. Hawaii islands also can be called a tropical paradise as well as Asian countries. On Hawaii it is recommended to spend more time on the shore and even to hire a car. Shore activities are much wider that you can imaging: hiking, watching dolphins, exploring caves and cliffs. There are a lot of national parks and beaches to spend a one week holiday.

Of course, I will mention one more time all this destinations in other articles in details. And sure there are much more cruise itineraries worth visiting. I just had to start with with something and I chose the ones that maybe both interesting for first time  and experienced cruisers. have a nice trip, wherever you go!
