Whether it's just a few days or a leisurely weeklong cruise tour, you'll be sure to find cruise travel packages perfect for your schedule or budget. If you don't have time for a weeklong or longer cruise, three- and four-night cruises are perfect for a quick getaway to the Caribbean and soak up the sun. Take the kids on one of the many family cruise vacations you'll find online. Family cruises are designed to keep the kids and their parents equally happy. And you don't have to cruise on a giant cruise ship. You can take in a riverboat cruise and explore the byways of Europe or the United States. Experience the thrill of cruising on a sailing ship or clipper ship, which often explore more exotic locations. There are many destinations to explore on a cruise. Most people are familiar with cruises to the islands of Hawaii, the Caribbean, Mexico or Bermuda. If you're not a beach bunny, try an Alaskan cruise and experience the breathtaking mountains and wildlife. During the fall, choose a foliage cruise of New England. And if you want to see the world, what better way than on the high seas. There are many cruises to Europe, Asia and South America on large ships or smaller sailing ships.

Tip: Cruise dining with kids

If you are crusing with the kids, choose the first seating for dinner. Most children can't wait until 8 or 9 p.m. to eat dinner. You can dine as a family and then go out as a couple afterward if you wish.

Tip: Scenic cruises

When traveling with a small group to scenic destinations, such as Alaska, book cabins on opposite sides of the ship so you won't miss anything on days when the ship is cruising through picturesque locations.

Tip: What to wear on formal nights

Most mainstream cruises have at least one formal night in the main dining room. For men, a suit is fine. But if you're on a luxury cruise, then it's time for a tux. For women, a gown or cocktail dress is in order.
