Are you wondering if Indonesia cruise holiday is the right choice for you? While there are all the obvious advantages of an almost all-inclusive trip with a pre-planned destination itinerary but there are numerous benefits to cruises that may surprise you.

A cruise holiday is an ideal vacation. It's an opportunity for relaxing, unwinding and discovering new destinations. A typical cruise ship vacation includes all meals, world-class entertainment, enrichment lectures and spa. It also includes accommodation and transportation. This is only the tip of the of the iceberg.

With more than 150 days spent on the water, we would like to share some benefits of cruising with you. The hidden advantages of cruising are revealed below and still apply even in a post-pandemic world.

You can visit destinations that are off the beaten path without having to spend too much time there

Though most cruises depart from major cities and travel to larger ports, some go to smaller towns. Certain destinations are beautiful and tropical such as Moorea, French Polynesia. Some are simply fascinating. We've seen endless of bikes in Haarlem (Netherlands), and visited an iron mine transport station in Indonesia, Australia. Also we saw a remarkable wooden Moses statue in Brazil's church in Itajai.

Another benefit of cruising: it converts transit time to enjoyment

We discover amazing places by stepping off the beaten path. Activities onboard make our transit days fun. This is not the case when we attempt to explore remote regions on our own. It's harder to reach remote destinations if they are more obscure. This could lead to long, boring trips on the road or worse lengthy airport wait times.

Discover something completely new

cruise provide more beyond entertainment. There are also enrichment opportunities which can be enjoyed for free. It is almost always a requirement to participate in some type of dancing lesson, trivia game, and take part in some lectures.

Someone else is responsible for the planning and destination research

Pre-planning is optional. Every ship we've been on included a desk for shore excursions and destination experts available to answer questions. For those who are not researchers the idea of having someone else take care of the work is one of the secret advantages of cruises.

A little familiar with the ports, the destination expert's presentation will explain everything you need to know to go to a port. If you missed the lecture, you can catch a replay on the stateroom TV.

The Indonesia cruise will provide excursions that are fee-based at each destination. If you're looking for an effortless vacation the most difficult thing you will have to choose among a myriad of options.

If you're willing to plan, you can save money and join smaller groups by booking with an independent company. We generally employ Viator for shore excursions, since many of their shore excursions offer an assurance of safety that guarantees to return us to our boat even if something goes wrong.

Only unpack one time

We are often light on our feet, in all carry-on. Even for me, the idea of removing my bag one time and spreading the load out is paradise. However, the majority of people pack too much. This is why it is essential to unpack only onceand then go to multiple cities. Sign up to our newsletter to receive an electronic copy of our Cruise Checklist for Packing Light.

Shop till you drop

No matter how you pack your bag, once you hit the airline baggage allowance shopping can become a costly problem. The most efficient solution is to sail one-way, to your home town. Here's how Take a flight to the port of embarkation with a huge empty bag folded neatly inside your luggage, being careful not to exceed maximum allowable weight.

Now, get ready to shop until you drop. Remember that you will be sailing back to the port of your choice. It is not necessary to worry about baggage allowance or the flight back. Your cabin is the only limit, which means you can shop even for teenagers within its boundaries.
