Cruise Buzz

Can cruising be the ultimate adventure travel?

According to Wikipedia, adventure travel is a type of tourism, involving exploration or travel to remote, exotic and possibly hostile areas.  Travelers that like to explore by ship have many opportunities to see remote areas while enjoying some of the finer comforts of life, such as a bounty of delicious food  and a comfortable bed.

Below are some photos from my travels as well as from the cruise lines social media accounts depicting why I think cruising can be the ultimate travel adventure.

You might notice that my feet are up and that is because there were a lot of sea urchins under-foot (true adventure travel always has a little danger).
