Why Travelers Love Cruising America's Most Scenic Regions

Cruising is the best way to see lots of wonderful places in one vacation - and you only have to unpack your bag once. There’s a great range of cruises in America, so you don’t need to travel very far to see and experience something new.

River cruises

Riverboat cruises take place all over the US with the most popular being on the Mississippi, the Columbia and Snake Rivers, and the Puget Sound near Seattle. It’s an interesting way to see the historic side of the US and enjoy local areas. There’s also a range of cruises for the Southeast including the East Coast Intracoastal Waterway.

Pacific coast

Pacific coast cruises are a great introduction to cruising and if you’re already on the West coast, you can join one without even taking a flight. These are usually 1 to 8 nights in length and will take in amazing mountain ranges, stunning islands and landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge, Seattle’s Space Needle or the breathtaking beauty of British Columbia.

Hawaii

Hawaii is one of the most popular cruise destinations in the world. It enjoys perfect weather all year round, so there’s no dates or seasons to avoid. Here you’ll find breathtaking waterfalls, picturesque volcanoes and world-famous white sand beaches.

Further afield

For something a little more adventurous, consider a cruise around South America. This offers travelers one of the most exotic experiences anywhere in the world. Cruises to South America tend to be longer in duration, anything from 3 to 20 nights, but it will be the vacation of a lifetime.

You’ll get to experience diverse climates and cultures, and see amazing wildlife and tropical rainforest.
