If you are searching for a luxurious holiday to some exotic destinations, take a look at the range of voyages offered by Princess Cruises.
The company operates 18 liners on routes all over the world and has built up a deserved reputation for its onboard facilities, fantastic food and high level of customer service. The only thing you need to worry about when booking with Princess Cruises is where to go.
One of the most exotic locations you can visit on a cruise holiday is South America and the Venice to Brazil voyage on the Star Princess is a real treat. Spend a day in the most romantic of Italian cities before enjoying a tour of the Adriatic and Mediterranean, including stops at Dubrovnik, Corfu, Valletta and Carthage.
From there you will embark on the long transatlantic voyage to Brazil. During your time at sea you can look forward to trying the ship's six restaurants, relaxing at the spa, working on your swing at the golf simulators and trying your luck in the casino.
Once you reach South America, you will visit the beautiful colonial city of Recife and the stunning beaches of Rio de Janeiro, giving you plenty of chance to enjoy some Latin culture.
If you are hoping to see some of the USA's most cosmopolitan cities without breaking the bank, take a look at the cruise offers for Princess voyages to California. Spend a week cruising along the Pacific coast and you will be able to experience the sights and sounds of Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, San Francisco and San Diego while staying in a luxurious floating hotel.
Alternatively you could book a cruise onboard the Sapphire Princess that heads south from its starting port of Los Angeles and takes in the beautiful Mexican Riviera. Enjoy the cities of Puerto Vallarta and Mazatlan, together with the super chic beach resort of Cabo San Lucas.
While you will also find voyages to the Canary Islands and Caribbean in the range of 2012 cruises offered by Princess, a holiday at sea does not have to include sunshine destinations.
For an alternative, take a look at the Classic Canada and New England cruise onboard the huge Emerald Princess liner. The ship, which only launched in 2007, cost $525 million to build and has superb facilities, including four swimming pools, a spa, a gym with an ocean view, an art gallery, a cinema and a selection of bars and restaurants.
The trip begins with a day spent sightseeing and shopping in New York, before stopping in Newport, Bar Harbor and Boston. Once in the historic city you can follow the Freedom Trail to see the State House, Benjamin Franklin Statue and Bunker Hill Monument, or take a trolley bus tour to visit sights such as the USS Constitution and Faneuil Hall.
Once your cruise crosses the border into Canada you can expect stops at Halifax, Sydney and Corner Brook, before arriving at the final destination of Quebec City. You will spend two days here before flying back to the UK, giving you the opportunity to enjoy the Musee de la Civilisation and the 17th century Notre Dames des Victoires church.
If you don't want to begin your holiday with a flight to the departure port, try booking a cruise of the Norwegian fjords from Southampton. The ship's route will take you past some of Europe's most beautiful scenery and give you chance to visit friendly cities like Stavanger and Bergen.
