Save Money On Last Minute Cruises and Have Fun!

There is nothing like the fun and excitement that comes with doing last minute cruises! And, let's not forget the $avings.

Just Highlight the Cruise Direct link and browse over to "last minute cruises".
CruiseDirect.com - click here!


I just checked cruise availability from the port in Ft. Lauderdale. It's incredible! The choice of destinations and cruise lines won't quit. I kid you not.

The key to being able to take advantage of these savings is Flexibility. If you have a flexible schedule...you can't beat the last minute cruise for the fun, excitement and savings.

The fun and excitement that comes from just dropping everything you are doing and packing up and going away for a last minute cruise is fantastic. Just grab your spouse or "significant other" and make your way down to the Pier.

When your ship starts moving away from her dock, and the ship's horns and whistles start blowing, and you feel the wind in your hair...believe me, I know you will be glad you did it!

For those of you who haven't cruised before, you are in for a surprise of your life! I am talking about the cuisine. The food and service on these cruise ships will take your breath away. I am not kidding.

The quality and variety of your dinners are unbelievable. After you have finished with your fine dinning, you will be treated to some exciting Broadway style Entertainment in the ship's theater.
This is not something you want to miss. Trust me. You will be glad you checked out this evening entertainment venue.

You can probably tell, I am an unabashedly enthusiastic cruiser. My wife and I have spent a lot of time on the high seas. And, we have loved every minute of it.

I will never forget one of my first cruises. I was living in Chicago, Illinois at the time. Anyway, my wife and I took a short cruise out of Ft. Lauderdale. Our ship stopped in Nassau. I could not believe the beautiful blue clear water. It was in January and freezing cold in Chicago. So this warm, beautiful, clear ocean water just knocked my socks off. I swam and floated for hours in that exotic beautiful water.

Actually, when you consider what is included in the price of the tickets, Cruising is a fantastic good deal! Really, the food, lodging, entertainment, and most athletic activities are included. You don't have to contend with hauling your suitcases in and out of hotels. You unpack once, and that is it.

When I mention entertainment, I am talking about Broadway shows, dancing and bands, (Are you a dancer?), lectures, all kinds of card games, (Bridge anyone?). Some ships even feature "ice skating". Honest. Ice skating on the High Seas. Who would have thought?

Celebrity's Australia Cruise Is Way Down Under

Continued-Celebrity Cruises-Australia/New Zealand

SPONSORED BY PRIORITY 1 CRUISE & TOURS

Ports of Call

Dusky Sound, New Zealand
Scenic Cruising
Australia & New Zealand


The largest and most complex of the many fjords along this coast, Dusky Sound boasts steep-sided cliffs and hundreds of cascading waterfalls. Direct your attention to the water to spot seals and dolphins, and to the sky to view broad billed prions, mottled petrels and sooty shearwaters. This amazing sound is one of three featured on most itineraries.


Hilo, Hawaii
New Zealand


Located on the lush coast of the Big Island, Hilo is home to two of the most spetacular water falls in all of creation: Rainbow Falls in the south and the mammoth Akaka Falls in the north. Hilo is also home to Volcanoes National Park and the imposing Kilauea Volcano.

Fanning Island, Republic of Kiribati
New Zealand


An extremely remote, untouched atoll in the central Pacific Ocean, diminutive Fanning Island (just seven milres in diameter) is graced with an interior lagoon, white sand beaches and ample opportunities for snorkeling and scuba-diving. Because of its isolation, the island and its people offer a refreshing South Pacific experience. Shop the handicraft market for locally made shell jewelry and woven grass skirts.

Hobart, Tasmania
Australia and New Zealand


A riverside city replete with Georgian charm, Hobart features a thriving arts scene, a gorgeous mountain backdrop and a busy harbor where yachts from all over the world congregate. It’s also the gateway to a world class chocolate factory, Cadbury, and home to the Cascade Brewery, producing one of the finest beers in New Zealand. To learn more about the island’s Aboriginal heritage, a visit to the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery is worth making.

Honolulu (Oahu), Hawaii
Departure Port
New Zealand


Cosmopolitan Honolulu offers hundreds of attractions and points of interest for the ambitious sightseer. From Pearl Harbor to Iolani Palace (one of the only royal palaces on American soil), you’ll enjoy exploring this city, which seems to rise up out of the lush Hawaiian flora.

Melbourne, Australia
Australia & New Zealand


The capital of Victoria and Australia’s second largest city, Melbourne is a cultural melting pot of Greek, Chinese, Italian, Vietnamese and Lebanese, and host to major international events. You’ll discover a decidedly European influence here, complete with old world architecture and a cricket field at the center of the city. The Melbourne Zoo is the oldest in the world and a great place to see Australian animals.

Napier, New Zealand
Australia & New Zealand


There’s really only one word to describe this city: pretty. Napier’s elegant art deco architecture, captivating beaches and award winning vineyards provide an appealing backdrop as you take in the sights. The National Aquarium of New Zealand, shaped like a stingray, features piranhas and crocodiles, as well as several other safer species in hands on exhibits.

Milford Sound, New Zealand
Scenic Cruising
Australia & New Zealand


Situated within Fiordland National Park, Milford Sound is part of the Te Wahipounamu World Heritsage Site and is surrounded by sheer rock faces and lush forests. As our ship cruises through the narrow fjord, you may feel as if we are shrinking in size in comparison to the towering cliffs and mountains. This protected sound is one of three featured on most itineraries.

Newcastle, Australis
Australia & New Zealand


While Newcastle is a significant coal shipping center, you’ll likely focus more on its surf worthy beaches and recreational pools, filled regularly with ocean saltwater. These historic Ocean Baths are located along the beach and are built with a art deco flair. Soak in the pools, take a relaxing swim, or ventujre into Hunter Valley to view stunning vineyardds and taste fine varietals.

Moorea, French Polynesia
New Zealand


Moorea is a unique volcanic island surrounded by languid lagoons and both white and black sand beaches. Often associated with James Michener’s imaginary island of Bali Ha’I, Moorea is the epitome of paradise. View tapa cloth making and other traditional French Polynesian handicrafts at the Tiki Village Theatre, built to resemble ancient villages that once graced the islands.

Papeete, Tahiti, French Polynesia
New Zealand


The capital city of French Polynesia’s largest island, Papeete is a hot spot noted for chic shopping and the cultural beauty that inspired artist Paul Gauguin. You can view works that recature his life in French Polynesia at Musee Gauguin and perhaps even find colorful pareus like the ones worn by his beautiful models in his impressionistic masterpieces at the busy Marche Municipale.

Sydney, Australia
Departure Port
Australia & New Zealand


Among the world’s most exciting cities, Sydney is home to dazzling beaches and the Sydney Opera house-an architectural marvel and one of the most recognizable performing arts venues in the world. For spectacular views of Sydney Harbour, take a walk across the Sydney Harbour Bride. Or for great views in the water, stroll through the Sydney Aquarium’s underwater walkways.
