river cruising, there’s a whole new travel trend emerging, according to Nicholas. “Themed river cruises are now becoming really popular,” she says. “And with so many to choose from – including themes like the Christmas Markets of Europe, art immersions, family focused adventures, culinary tours and garden getaways – this kind of vacation can be a great way to experience either your grand passion, or even something you’ve never considered before.”

Aloha, Hawaii!
F
rom the world-class botanical gardens and lava flows of Big Island, to the glamorous resorts and stunning beaches of Maui and Oahu, to the dramatic clifftop scenery of the Kauai coastline, Hawaii is an extraordinary cruise ship destination. The eight major Hawaiian islands are all volcanic and each has its own distinct climate and attractions, an aspect that makes cruising here all the more appealing. “The biggest surprise for first-timers on
a cruise to Hawaii is the striking differences between the islands,” says Neelam Dwivedi, manager, Maritime Travel, New Westminster, BC. “Because they are relatively close together, you’d expect that the experience of sailing between them would be pretty uniform. Not so.”
