People who haven t cruised sometimes have the misconception that they might be bored on a cruise. I doubt whether you will be bored. The days are gone of passengers swathed in blankets snoozing in their deck chairs. There are usually more things to do than you have time for. In fact, being at sea usually gives you a sense of freedom and openness.
Ships come in all shapes and sizes.
They may be huge with thousands of passengers or may be a small ship with a few hundred, or really small almost like a private yacht. There are ocean liners and sailing ships. There are river boats that go along the Mississippi, Danube, Rhine, Nile, Yangtze, or Volga, or the remote jungle tributaries of the Amazon. There are icebreakers that can slice through ice in the Antarctic and Arctic. Many have theme cruises from wine tasting to golf to opera to Europe gardens.
