On Shore

Cruising is superb for browsing through what the global store has to offer - the artfully designed houses of Sulawesi in Indonesia, the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, the Cathedral of St. Michel in France, the luminous look of St. Petersburg. In fact, More than half of all cruisers choose their itinerary simply to sample an area.

When your ship anchors at Malta or Macao you can sample a port of call with the idea that you might want to return for a longer stay.

Day Tripping.
On a ship-organized shore excursion, you strike out for a day of adventure, hiking through the jungles of Grenada, riding a donkey to the cliffs of Santorini, snaking through the canals of Amsterdam and Brugge, checking out the pushcarts in Rome's Piazza Navona, making the after-dark scene in Acapulco, taking the cable car to the top of Sugar Loaf for an eagle's view of Rio spread out far below.

At your side is a member of your ship's cruise director staff, shepherding you through the churches and museums. Shopping? With some shipboard tips on where to go and what to buy, blitz the local handicraft markets and chic shops.

On a cruise you can also spot the places where you can best indulge your passion for a sport. Go ashore at Grand Cayman and snorkel - or dive - in the iridescent waters of the Caribbean. At Fortaleza, a sunshine outpost in northeast Brazil, ride over hectares of mountainous sand dunes in colorful beach buggies. Go for it on your mountain bike in the ruggedness of Madeira, an island cruise ships like to visit. For golf, what's more challenging than the championship courses of Bermuda?

Play Now, Stay Later. "I'd love to come back here," you say, shrugging and hoping. That's why cruising can be a smart way of surveying the ports and places you'd like to visit again on another leisure break.
