Explore the seas with cruise tourism

How a cruise works

Your sea journey begins with the boarding process. During this phase, your travel documents are checked, followed by the distribution of your onboard access card. This card is essential as it serves not only as the key to your cabin but also often as a means of payment for any additional services onboard. Your ship leaves its port of embarkation. Once comfortably settled in your cabin, it's time to explore the ship's facilities, bars, lounges, and various culinary options. For those who haven't yet had the chance, remember to book your excursions and specialty restaurants within 24 to 48 hours as availability is limited. Your stay includes full board, ensuring a variety of quality gastronomic options at any time. You can also choose to dine in one of the specialty restaurants on the ship, generally available for an additional cost. Cruises offer a wide range of journeys from family voyages with plenty of activities designed for children to premium and luxury cruises that prioritize peace and elegance for an adult audience. These sea voyages are punctuated by special events such as the captain's evening, which enrich the onboard experience with festive and memorable moments. Beyond life onboard, port calls and excursions are a central aspect of the cruise experience. Each stop is an opportunity to discover new cultures, landscapes, and activities. Cruise companies organize a variety of excursions to suit all tastes: cultural visits, outdoor adventures, or relaxation on idyllic beaches. These excursions can be booked in advance or directly onboard the ship. They are carefully planned to maximize your time at each destination, offering a deep immersion into the regions visited without the hassle of organizing.

Entertainment on Your Cruise 100% Guaranteed

Cruises offer a vast range of activities and entertainment for all ages. Onboard, depending on the ship, you can expect Broadway or Las Vegas-worthy shows, live concerts, open-air cinemas, and various themed clubs and bars. Families will enjoy water parks, climbing walls, mini-golf, and surfing simulators... Themed cruises offer unique experiences centered around gastronomy, music, or culture.

Atmosphere on board cruise ships

The ambience aboard cruise ships is designed to appeal to a wide variety of travelers. From luxury and relaxation in spas and high-end suites, to the excitement of casinos, nightclubs and lively common areas. Families benefit from dedicated areas such as kids' and teens' clubs.

When to plan your cruise ?

Cruises in January and February

January and February are the ideal time to discover the Caribbean islands and West Indies, with optimal weather conditions during the dry season, when temperatures remain between 77°F and 85°F. This season is perfect for enjoying paradise beaches and water activities such as diving, snorkeling and stand-up paddling. Another option for January and February is Dubai and the emirates, which enjoy a mild, sunny winter. The program for these cruises combines modernity and tradition: shopping in huge malls, discovery of traditional souks, breathtaking skyscrapers and desert excursions.

Cruises in March, April and May

Spring is an excellent time to sail the Mediterranean. In March and April, temperatures are mild and it's the ideal time to discover the cultural and historical wealth of Spain and Italy without the summer crowds. The landscapes blossom and the days lengthen, offering ideal conditions for land excursions and water sports activities.

Cruises in June, July, August and September

From May to July, the warm waters of the Mediterranean and the Adriatic invite you to swim and take part in water sports. This is also an excellent time to explore Northern Europe on a cruise and admire the fjords under the midnight sun.

Cruises in October, November and December

Autumn marks the end of high season in the Mediterranean. From October to December, temperatures are mild with a noticeable drop in tourist numbers, ideal for those looking to explore its cultural and natural riches without the crowds. The Caribbean and West Indies also offer favorable conditions for cruising, with mild temperatures and reduced crowds, providing a peaceful opportunity to discover the islands' natural wonders and cultural richness. A cruise in the fjords reveals enchanting winter scenery and allows you to observe the northern lights.

FAQ: answers to frequently asked questions about cruises

How much does a cruise cost?

By opting for an MSC Cruises, Costa Cruises, Royal Caribbean or Norwegian Cruise Line cruise, you can benefit from mini-cruises starting from $100 or $200 per person. The average annual price for a week-long cruise is €$1,000 per person.

How to choose the best company for your cruise?

With a wide range of cruise companies available, from family cruises to luxurious getaways, passengers have plenty of options to find the perfect sea journey that meets their expectations and budget. Activities tailored for children, high-end gastronomic experiences, and exclusive excursions... each company offers a unique experience. MSC Cruises, Costa Cruises, and Royal Caribbean are particularly notable for families, offering a range of activities and amenities for all ages, as well as free lodging for children staying in the same cabin as their parents up to 12 years old for MSC Cruises and up to 17 years old for Mediterranean cruises with Costa Cruises. The premium cruises of Celebrity Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Line offer an ideal experience for couples. Celebrity Cruises is known for its upscale design and attentive onboard staff. Norwegian Cruise Line stands out with its "Freestyle Dining" experience, allowing passengers to dine without fixed schedules or assigned seating. Luxury cruise companies such as Explora and Ponant offer all-inclusive journeys with perks such as a welcome champagne bottle in the suite, gourmet meals, and a wide array of excursions.

Choosing a cabin for a cruise: our tips and tricks

You can choose from four main categories, each offering specific benefits tailored to your needs and budget:

- Interior cabins, located at the heart of the ship, allow you to save money while fully enjoying the onboard activities and amenities.
- Outside cabins are equipped with windows providing a sea view. They are an excellent compromise for those who wish to admire the scenery at a reasonable cost.
- Cabins with balconies add a private outdoor space for enjoying breathtaking views, ideal for relaxing moments under the sun or stars.
- Suites are more spacious and often include personal butler service, access to exclusive lounges and restaurants, and special touches like a champagne bottle upon arrival.

Cruise companies also offer cabins designed for passengers with reduced mobility (PRM), ensuring access and comfort tailored to their needs. Whatever the category, it is advisable to check with your agent the location of the cabin during booking to avoid obstructed views and choose a strategic location near elevators or in areas least exposed to engine noise, thus ensuring a most pleasant cruise experience. If you are sensitive to seasickness, we recommend choosing a cabin located in the middle of the ship.

Course of a shore excursion

Although pre-booking is recommended, it is possible to sign up for excursions directly onboard, offering some flexibility. Before the start of the excursion, participants are invited to a briefing on the itinerary and safety instructions. Travelers are then transported to their mode of transportation, coach or boat, depending on the nature of the excursion. On-site, a professional guide enhances the visit with information about points of interest. Be sure to allow enough time to return to the ship before it departs.

Onboard Activities on a Cruise Ship

Onboard a cruise ship, the activities offered are varied and designed to satisfy all ages and interests. Passengers can enjoy high-quality performances ranging from theater to live musical performances, not to mention outdoor movie sessions. Wellness enthusiasts will find their bliss in the spas, gyms, and fitness classes. Among the entertainment on family-friendly cruise ships, we can mention surfing simulators, climbing walls, and bowling alleys. Families will appreciate the children and teenagers clubs offering educational and fun activities. Finally, enriching lectures and culinary workshops provide learning opportunities while having fun.

Drink & Beverage Packages on a cruise

Cruise companies generally offer a range of beverage packages, alcoholic and non-alcoholic, available at an additional cost to enhance the passenger experience. Some packages are specially designed for children and teenagers, including non-alcoholic drinks. Passengers have the opportunity to purchase these packages before departure, benefiting from reduced rates. Opting for a luxury cruise company like Ponant allows traveling all-inclusive, thus providing unlimited access to a varied selection of drinks without additional charges.

Pack your bags for a cruise

When packing for a cruise, it is crucial to include your travel documents and to adapt your clothing to the destination and planned excursions while also planning warmer outfits for cool evenings onboard. It is also important to plan an elegant outfit for special evenings such as the captain's dinners or themed nights (e.g., white night) by inquiring about the specific dress code.

How to organize a cruise with your children?

When planning a cruise with your children, it's best to select cruise lines that cater to family-oriented experiences. These companies may offer free stays for children sharing the cabin of their parents up to 12 years old for MSC Cruises and 17 years for Costa Cruises. Numerous facilities are dedicated to young travelers, including nurseries supervised by professionals, clubs by age group offering playful and educational activities. Teenagers are not left out with areas dedicated to them, offering relaxation and special evenings. True entertainment temples, ships of Royal, Costa, and MSC house numerous facilities for the pleasure of the whole family: arcade game rooms, water parks, mini-golf. Regarding dining, a variety of options tailored for children is available, ensuring pleasant meals for the younger ones. These family cruises ensure an enriching and entertaining travel experience for the youngest while offering parents peace of mind and the satisfaction of seeing their children have fun safely.
