Safety Benefits

Cruise ships are inherently safe environments. Activities are closely supervised and monitored, especially sporting events such as climbing rock walls or using waterslides. Passengers are carefully tracked so no unauthorized individuals are permitted onboard. In case of an accident or sudden illness, each ship has a well-stocked infirmary, complete with resident doctor - a feature that few hotels or resorts offer. Available shore excursions are screened by the cruise line and only the most reputable tours are offered. Before visiting different ports of call, passengers can attend lectures and pick up tip sheets offering suggestions for safety and convenience. During a land-based vacation, travelers are responsible for their own safety arrangements, but a cruise vacation offers many built-in safety features to ease the minds of the most nervous passengers.


Cruise vacations are convenient, cost-effective, family-oriented, and intrinsically safe. With multiple activities, dining options, itineraries, and amenities to suit any passenger, no vacation will feel more individualized than a cruise. In fact, cruises are such successful vacations that according to Cruise Lines International Association. more than 80% of cruisers return for a second voyage - far higher than the percentage of people who choose to revisit a land-based resort or attraction. With such a success rate, cruise lines prove their benefits and continue to gain new passengers with each voyage.
