The blue glow of the water serves almost as a spotlight on aquarium visitors as they stare into giant tanks that feature exotic creatures from the deep blue sea. Aquariums have been around since Roman times, but with each new decade these living art museums are evolving and expanding to include more and more features and attractions. 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.

Ever since I was a young child, I grew up fascinated by both water and world travel, this is why I chose to work at The Cruise Web. It all started when I took my first leap in a pool.

Peru is a beautiful country with a little bit of everything – rainforests, deserts, mountains and lakes. The beautiful landscape I found there on my trip in 2010 served as a wonderful backdrop to the history of this incredible nation that was once the center of the Incan Empire.
South America presents a seamlessly blended array of exotic locales, great nightlife, lush rainforests, snowy mountain ranges, stunning waterfalls, tropical beaches, windswept plains, modern urban cities and the remains of lost civilizations at every turn. Cruising through South America offers the experience of a lifetime with exciting ports of call like Rio de Janeiro and Santiago. Just remember that the seasons are reversed in the Southern Hemisphere, so when it’s cold in December, January and February up north… it’s summer in South America and peak cruise season.
When most people think of cruising they usually think of the Caribbean or the Mediterranean, but cruises sail all over the world – from glaciers in Antarctica to deserts in Dubai. That is why I’m so glad that we can feature South America in this month’s issue of The Current.
