Most cruise vessels are huge mega-ships that sail to the usual ports of call.
On the one hand, these big ocean liners offer all of the whistles and bells that you would expect to find on a luxury cruise, but on the flip side you sacrifice the feeling of intimacy and the ability to dock in the more shallow ports. On an American Canadian Caribbean Line (ACCL) cruise, you get both intimacy and a wider variety of hard-to-reach ports on your cruise vacation.
ACCL has three different ships in its fleet. Each ship carries up to 100 passengers, which is a far cry from the thousands of passengers on one of the big mega ships like Royal Caribbean or Carnival Cruise Line. With this smaller size of guests, you’ll be more than just another person on board. You’ll be able to make friendships that last a lifetime.
On an ACCL vacation, the emphasis is on travel, not on fancy entertainment and activities. Instead, you’ll be immersed in sightseeing at the different ports of call and water-related activities such as snorkeling, swimming and riding on glass-bottom boats. There is plenty of food on board, and you can bring your own alcoholic beverages.
Itineraries on an ACCL vacation cannot be matched. If Central and South America is to your liking, book a cruise that sails to the picture-perfect country of Belize. Here, you’ll walk amongst the ancient Mayan ruins or snorkel within the second largest coral reef in the world where you’ll be privy to see the most amazing and colorful fish imaginable.
U.S. intra-coastal cruises are another option. These small ships can navigate the U.S. waterways like no other cruise line. Its small size makes travel on the Great Lakes a joy, where the beauty surrounding such wonders as Lake Michigan is within reach. Or visit the magnificence of the Hudson River that crosses through New York State where you’ll be treated to the most stunning fall foliage.
But if Middle America has always been your fantasy destination, choose one of the cruises that sail on the famous Mississippi River. These heartland cruises visit ports of call from New Orleans to Chicago.
And the best part of an ACCL vacation is that it won’t break the bank. These no-frills ships offer reasonable fairs so that you can spend more money once you hit the shore.
