We hope you’re one of the lucky thousands who are starting a cruise today. If not, feel free to consider today’s 14 cruises inspiration for your next cruise vacation. Today’s departures include:
- ms Amsterdam beginning an extended cruise in Vancouver that will visit just about every island in the Pacific Ocean before ending in Los Angeles 75 days from now. (It’s also offered as a 32-night cruise that ends in Hong Kong.) Lucky cruisers will be visiting Hawaii, Guam, Japan, Hong Kong, Okinawa, Singapore, Brunei, Fiji and Tahiti – and that’s just a partial list;
- Viking River Cruises likes to have two ships start at opposite ends of an itinerary on the same day: Today’s pairing has Viking Atla departing from Amsterdam on a 7-night Rhine Getaway to Basel, Switzerland, while Viking Jarl starts in Basel heading toward Amsterdam;
- as it does several times a month, Carnival Inspiration is starting a 3-night weekend trip from the port in Long Beach to Ensenada, Mexico and back.
Looking six months and one year ahead: We currently know about 14 cruises scheduled for Thursday March 20, 2014 and 53 ships set for departure on Saturday September 20, 2014.
