THERE ARE SOME PLACES A 900-FOOT CRUISE SHIP CAN'T GO
THAT'S WHY ROYAL CARIBBEAN CREATED CRUISETOURS, A COMBINATION OF AN EXCITING CRUISE VACATION AND LAND TOUR THAT ALLOWS YOU TO EXPERIENCE ALL THAT YOUR VACATION DESTINATION HAS TO OFFER.

What's a Cruisetour?

Royal Caribbean cruisetours offer the best of land and sea vacations by combining an Alaska, Europe, Australia/New Zealand, Asia or South America cruise with an exciting land tour adventure. And as anyone who's traveled before knows, coastal areas are beautiful, but some of the most interesting cities and sights your client would want to see are often inland.

On a cruisetour, guests are able to see everything - fabulous ports of call along the coast, and magnificent cities and sights located inland.

All of Royal Caribbean's Alaska, Europe, Australia/New Zealand, Asia and South America cruisetours are 100% escorted by expert Tour Guides and have been designed to maximize time spent sightseeing as well as the opportunity to explore at our guests' leisure. And, in most cases, guests can decide to take the land tour portion either before or after their cruise.

But the bigger decision will be where to take this amazing adventure. Royal Caribbean offers twenty-one cruisetour vacations to Alaska, two cruisetour vacations to the Canadian Rockies, two to the premier resort town of Whistler, four cruisetour vacations to Europe, two cruisetour vacations to Asia, three cruisetour vacations to Australia/New Zealand and two cruisetour vacations to South America.

In addition to the cruise vacation, the land portion of the cruisetour includes accommodations in some of the finest hotels in Alaska; 4 and 5 star hotel properties in Europe, Australia/New Zealand, Asia and South America; as well as many inclusive activities such as city tours, a visit to Denali National Park in Alaska, Quicksilver catamaran tour to the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, a day exploring the Terracotta Warriors in China, and a zodiac ride through the Iguazu Falls in Argentina, just to name a few.

If you want the best of both worlds - a fantastic cruise vacation and a land tour adventure - a Royal Caribbean cruisetour is just what you're looking for.

Here are just some samples of Caribbean vacations available at terrific savings:

ALASKA

A cruise to Alaska wouldn't be complete without a journey deep into the heart of the 49th State. Our guests will visit the historic gold rush town of Fairbanks, the coastal towns of Seward and Alyeska, and the not-to-be-missed expedition into Denali National Park, home of Mt. McKinley, North America's largest mountain. These are just a few of the cities and highlights of an Alaska Cruisetour vacation.

If it's the lure of the Canadian Rockies that inspires your clients, why not choose a cruisetour that visits Banff and Yoho National Parks or Calgary? Travel by Rocky Mountaineer® RedLeaf Service® through snow-capped mountains and undisturbed forest land.

Or indulge in the premier resort town of Whistler. Nestled in the valley of the Whistler and Blackcomb mountains, this premier resort town offers numerous outdoor activities such as fishing, zip trekking, hiking and even summer skiing. Enjoy two nights in the Whistler Village and one night in the cosmopolitan city of Vancouver on one of our Whistler Cruisetour vacations.

Europe Destinations

An amazing deal on a cruise was nabbed recently by a Royal Caribbean past guest, according to published reports. She scored a 30-day South American cruise from Los Angeles to Rio de Janeiro. Her obstructed ocean view cabin was only $1,697. After you include government taxes and mandatory gratuities, it figures out to be only $74 a day per person! That's about a third cheaper than the list price.

 

So, how did she get the deal; 

Royal Caribbean e-mailed her as a frequent Royal Caribbean cruiser. Past guests have been 

getting these "exclusives-special offers just for you" e-mails frequently.

 

How we sweeten the deal; For most Royal Caribbean past guest offers we can can sweeten the deal by adding up $100 shipboard credit, a free bottle of wine, onboard coupon book and a reduced deposit. And with our bring a "friend or family member along" promotion, we can offer the same deal, when they book a separate cabin with us.

Today's Best Royal Caribbean Cruise Deal Offers

How Do We Find These Deals?

We sort through hundred's of Royal Caribbean sailings to find the best value for you. These deals are the best of today's offers. Not only chosen for their price, but the destination and experience they offer.

   
Panama Canal

From the Panama Canal's opening day to present, nearly a million ships have passed through the mighty locks. Encompassing tragedy and triumph, Spanish kings, conquistadors and five different American presidents, the building of this massive project spanned 400 years. And today, nearly 100 years after its completion, the Panama Canal remains one of the most vital trade routes in the world.  In addition to Panama's man-made marvel, this voyage includes some of nature's most amazing creations in the Caribbean, Mexico and Central America.

Mexican Riviera

Sun, sand and surf - what more could you ask for? The Mexican Riviera is filled with rich culture, bright flavors, scenic vistas, and most definitely, fun in the sun. The La Quebrada cliff divers of Acapulco will leave you amazed at their daredevil flying feats. The cobbled streets of Puerto Vallarta's Malécon are ideal for a relaxing stroll. And the deep-water lagoons, coconut groves and laid-back attitude of Zihuatanejo provide a delightful taste of Old Mexico. Don't forget Mazatlán's long sandy beaches and the chance to spot humpback and gray whales off Cabo San Lucas.There is so much to do and see on the Riviera. By day, swim, fish, shop or soak up the local culture. By night, savor the bold and fresh flavors of the region, like handmade tortillas and fresh guacamole, then pick up some new steps, dancing the night away to a salsa beat. It's time to go to the Mexican Riviera.

South America
This exotic, mysterious and magical region of the world is a feast for all five senses. South America's colorful cultures and alluring history feed your appetite for adventure and it becomes contagious. This is the region where you will experience contrasting cities, stunning archeological ruins, icy fjords, lush dense jungles and landscapes so remote that they've rarely been seen by anyone but the most intrepid explorers. With imagery that can only be described as otherworldly, sail Cape Horn's magnificent coastline, explore the misty ruins of Machu Picchu, discover the energetic vibe of Rio de Janeiro and much more. And if that's not enough, legendary Antarctica lies just beyond with its towering cliffs of blue ice. Without a doubt, it's a fascinating destination to explore.

Europe

It's the ancient land of legends and kings, where empires were built and destroyed. Dreams and ideas came to fruition here, on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and in the grand halls of St. Petersburg. Today, the call of Europe is stronger than ever, with its brilliant mosaic of bygone eras and modern-day wonders. Stand at the base of the temple of Poseidon and it's as if you were at the threshold of modern civilization. But look beyond the hilltops of Athens, to the intricate canals of Venice or the gothic cathedrals of Spain; gaze northward to the shores of Normandy or the cliffs of Edinburgh; reach for the great Viking waters of Norway or the virgin tundra of North Cape. Only then will you begin to comprehend the scope and history of this most wondrous continent.

Canada-New England

Autumn is glorious in Canada and New England. The sun still shines on the Eastern Seaboard's many seafaring towns and the cool fall air turns the foliage a dazzling crimson and gold. A trip to Canada and New England uncovers the history and character that started a nation. With the quaint Colonial charm of New England towns and the spectacular Canadian coastline, history is everywhere you look. Discover the very fabric of the cities and towns that are woven with history and experience French Canada's unique flavor and culture. Follow in the footsteps of our forefathers in cities like Norfolk, Charleston and Boston. Visit the bright lights of New York City. Fall in love with quintessential French Québec City and get charmed by quaint villages from Saint John to Bar Harbor. There's just no better way to experience the East Coast's autumn color than onboard a Royal Caribbean cruise.

Alaska

There remain few places on earth where you can truly breathe. Where space is measured not in feet or miles, but in endless horizons. A place where nature is so powerful, so dramatic, a personal encounter can change you forever. Thrill to white thunder in Glacier Bay, marvel at sunlight at midnight and close-ups of whales, eagles and caribou. Delight in Mt. McKinley's majesty and meadows carpeted with wildflowers. Amid unsurpassed grandeur and serenity, the true wilderness of Denali is calling. Make your Alaska escape complete with Royal Caribbean.

Asia

Asia is full of ancient cultures, unparalleled in exotic beauty and mysticism. From Southeast Asia to the Far East and India, explore the myriad customs and traditions of each one. The fascinating countries of Vietnam, China, Japan and Thailand are equally amazing and yet vastly different. See the great Buddhas of Bangkok or experience a whirlwind shopping-spree in Hong Kong. Explore the temples of Japan and the monuments of Beijing. The magic never ends on this side of the world. The Silk Road, the Spice Route and Xanadu beckon. Wander among ornate gilded pavilions, ancient temples, modern skyscrapers and bustling street markets filled with foreign and wonderful fruits and vegetables, not to mention just about everything else imaginable. Asia is really an escape of a lifetime.

Australia/New Zealand

Australia and New Zealand provide some of the most unique and beautiful landscapes in the world. Spotlight the bustling metropolises of Sydney and Auckland, plus the incredible wildlife on land and at sea, and you have all the elements for a truly memorable vacation. From the sophistication of the Opera House and the world-class wineries, to the rugged individualism of the Outback and its inhabitants, Australia and New Zealand possess a wonderful diversity of sights, activities and cultures. Few travel experiences can rival the excitement of sailing into the glistening harbors of Sydney and Auckland, as well as inspiring attractions, such as scenic Fiordland National Park and the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef, just to name a few.


Did You Know....

The most overlooked way to stretch your dollar is to form your own cruise group.

Traveling with family or friends, or both, can lower costs enough so you can travel even when the economies not that good. Of course, most of us don't have the time - or inclination - to make the calls and do the research for an entire group. It's a big job. On the other hand, booking a group cruise is easy for a professional travel agent. Your agent can create a package that works for you, while your group will realize across-the-board savings from group discounts that your agent discovers.
