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.
