cruise adventures

You know, when it comes to cruising, the world is your playground!

Regardless of your vacation style or your budget, there’s a cruise out there you’d love.

ocean cruising

Ocean cruise liners are usually a destination unto themselves.  Often, the ship IS a destination equal, and sometimes even surpassing, the ports of call!  Ocean cruising can be as luxurious and relaxing or playful as you can imagine.  From catering to families, to full blown parties at sea, ocean cruises are as varied as the world’s population.  

 

That’s where we come in.  Which one is actually right for you?  Do you like amazing Broadway style shows, or surfing at sea?  How about your own personal butler and sea side massages?  During our free consultation, we’ll discover your true cruise personality and recommend the perfect fit for you.  

 

Who knows?  You may even be more suited to something else altogether!

river cruising

River cruising?  That’s for retired people!  FALSE - River cruising can be great for anyone!  Similar to ocean cruising, each river cruise brand has its own personality.  Unlike a lot of ocean cruises, most activities are actually included on a river cruise.  Some cruise lines have itineraries that are designed for 18+ only passengers and cater to clients who appreciate a calmer and more relaxed pace through the entire trip.  However, other river cruise lines have itineraries designed specifically for passengers with wellness, or adventure in mind!  Would you believe that some even cater to families?  It’s true!  Imagine sailing past stunning castles with your young prince or princess and experiencing archery classes with your budding Robin Hood.    

 

Ocean cruise lines take you TO a destination, River Cruises take you THROUGH them. 

expedition cruising

That's just for science buffs and nature enthusiasts! FALSE - Expedition cruising is an enthralling journey for everyone! Just like river cruising, every expedition cruise line has its unique character. Unlike traditional cruises, expedition cruises offer deeply immersive experiences that are included in your adventure package. Some lines are crafted with the curious in mind, featuring itineraries for those who revel in exploration and discovery, diving into the wild corners of our planet. Meanwhile, other lines offer specialized trips focused on wellness or high-energy adventures—perfect for active passengers seeking excitement beyond the horizon. Some expeditions are also family-friendly. Absolutely! Picture sailing alongside majestic icebergs or through lush rainforests, all with your little explorers at your side. Imagine watching them marvel at penguin colonies or setting foot on ancient glaciers, making memories that will last a lifetime. With expedition cruising, every passenger finds a unique experience tailored to their sense of adventure.

“They helped me plan my first cruise of any kind. And it was in Europe with Covid regulations changing things right and left! They were so knowledgeable about travel! With the chaos of COVID-19 changing travel plans, they remained calm, on point, and up to date with the new and ever-changing requirements. They were on top of everything. Answered every question I had about everything right from the beginning. Whether you are a travel novice or pro-DPPTravel can help! It was a pleasure working with and traveling with their planned group trip! And they're fun people. I highly recommend DPP Travel!"
