Editorial Summary

Gary Beverage provides recommendations for seven cruise types and regions to consider for travelers returning to cruising in 2021. He selects these options based on the availability of diverse ship types, the likelihood of ports being fully operational with safety procedures, and the overall quality of the itineraries. The first recommendation is a transatlantic crossing on the Queen Mary 2, which offers a unique experience with limited port complexities. He then suggests the Caribbean, noting its status as a major cruising region that is likely to recover quickly, offering various itineraries including short trips to the Bahamas. For those looking toward Europe, he highlights the Norwegian fjords for their scenic beauty and long daylight hours, as well as UK and Ireland cruises for travelers wanting to see new places close to home. The Mediterranean is also featured, specifically central Mediterranean routes through Spain, France, and Italy, and a route connecting Venice and Athens that explores the Dalmatian coast and Greek islands. Finally, he recommends Alaska as a magnificent destination for those planning future trips. He concludes by suggesting that travelers use future cruise credits on these specific types of voyages.
