Who could resist a shopping trip in New York, a day out with the family at Walt Disney World, Universal Studios or Sea World; or the chance to see the Space Shuttle launch pad site at Cape Canaveral?
The USA offers the cruise traveller an enviable diversity of attractions, from big city life to unrivalled entertainment and fascinating natural treasures.
The eastern seaboard of the US also offers the historical sights and lively streets of the ‘pilgrim father’ cities of Boston, Baltimore and Philadelphia as well as the perennial attractions of New York City. Further north, the Canadian cities of Halifax, Nova Scotia and Quebec offer a different North American perspective.
For a taste of the Deep South you can cruise to cities such as Savannah, Georgia and Charleston, South Carolina, with their colonial buildings and live oaks draped with hanging Spanish moss.
Sub-tropical Florida offers much for the visitor, including the art deco glamour of Miami Beach, the playground archipelago of the Florida Keys and the mangrove forest of the Everglades with its cypress swamps - home of manatees, diverse species of bird and of course alligators and crocs!
A longer cruise could take you, usually via the impressive Panama Canal, to the resorts of the Mexican Riviera and on to America’s West Coast: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Astoria, Seattle and Vancouver and northwards to Alaska.
