Cruise rides, also known as cruises, are vacations where passengers travel on a large ship to various destinations. Cruises often include amenities such as dining, entertainment, and recreational activities. Passengers typically stay on the boat for the duration of the trip but may also have the opportunity to disembark at ports of call for shore excursions. Many cruises are available, including those that focus on specific activities like culture or adventure or cater to specific demographics like families or seniors.
