This picture was taken at sunset on the beach in Reeds Bay in Lower Carlton, Barbados. Reeds Bay is a small secluded public beach that houses a few waterfront villas and is well-known with the locals. When visiting you can rent beach chairs or jet skis. Often times groups will stop by to look for sea turtles and snorkel.
The Cruise Web is working with Barry Vaudrin of Cruising Authority to give our cruisers an inside look at an Alaskan Cruise. Barry, an avid cruiser and videographer, will be on board Holland America’s Oosterdam for a week this month. The cruise will be roundtrip from Seattle, stopping in Ketchikan, Juneau, Sitka and a few more ports. While on board, Barry will be interviewing officials as well as showing you the ports and the spaces aboard the ship.

I remember when I was a kid and it was almost standard practice that, come summertime, everyone in my family would pack their things and we would all take a week long vacation somewhere nice. One such vacation was a trip to Disney World. We spent a whole week at the theme park doing all the things that you look forward to doing. I got to eat park food (yum!), ride park rides and meet the Disney characters, but only one thing was really important to me, and that was meeting Mickey Mouse.
Many of us find that it’s tough to get away from work and responsibilities at home. However, with such busy schedules, it’s completely necessary to get some much needed rest and relaxation. But how are you going to sneak in a quick getaway or even find the time to plan? A weekend cruise is just what the doctor ordered!
Boston is arguably the most American city in the country. Children in America spend days in school learning about the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, Paul Revere’s ride warning that the British were coming and the shot heard round the world. It also happens to be a fairly popular city for cruises with more than 300,000 travelers making their way to or from the port. So we at The Cruise Web wanted to highlight some of the fun things to do if you are cruising from Boston or cruising to Boston.

Here is a list of the 5 best aquariums you can see on your next cruise.
I’ve had the opportunity to travel to Europe several times; I even lived there for a while. As all of my past experiences in Europe were limited to the large cities, I have never had the opportunity to experience Europe in quite the same way as I did on my last cruise along the Mediterranean, and it was because of the in-depth excursions offered by our partner Ensemble that I was able to experience Europe in a new way.
