Pacific Ocean

Los AngelesMany cruise lines combine a visit to the South Pacific with New Zealand or Australia or offer Hawaii with a stopover in Los Angeles or the much prettier San Diego.
Tahiti is the main island in French Polynesia and has beautiful mountain walks and waterfalls. Bora Bora, nestling under dramatic mountain peaks and fringed by coral reef with a superb lagoon for snorkelling, is another poplar choice.

Scandinavia and the Baltic

Some cruises also stop at the medieval Estonian city of Tallinn, the major city of Riga with its art nouveau architecture and lovely parks, and Lubeck in Germany.

Alaska

AlaskaOne of the last great wilderness areas, it's taken over where the African safari left off and is certainly less crowded.
Most cruises start over the Canadian border in Vancouver, and may combine shipboard sightseeing with inland trips by floatplane, rail or coach to see some of the national parkland at Denali (home of caribou, bears and moose). From the deck, humpback whales are a relatively common sight.

Bermuda

BahamasBermuda is a group of some 150 islands, but Grand Bermuda, is where cruise ships make landfall. The beaches are excellent and the clear turquoise waters great for swimming or snorkelling.
New England is the most popular part of the eastern US seaboard for cruising, and they invariably start at Boston. Many cruises continue north to Canada's maritime provinces of Prince Edward island, Halifax in Nova Scotia onto Montreal.

Antarctica
