The ads were awful because all 1970s fast food ads were awful. Yet because of their age, low budget and ephemeral nature, they’ve become otherworldly, as if taking place in purgatory. A savage journey to the heart of the greasy-as-hell, California fast food dream. 2024 All Season Dining Plans are valid any public operating day during the remainder of the 2024 season. An All Season Dining Plan added to a Season Pass is only valid for redemption exclusively by the registered passholder.

The Last Pioneer

Yes, you may purchase either a Gold or Prestige All Park Passport All Season Dining Plan that is valid at all Cedar Fair parks. This is equivalent to the Platinum Pass All Season Dining Plan. All Season Drink Bottle Valid for Gold or Prestige Passholders with the All Park Passport add-on at any Cedar Fair park within the U.S. and Canada. All Season Dining Valid for Gold or Prestige Passholders with the All Park Passport add-on at any Cedar Fair park within the U.S. and Canada. The All Day Dining and All Season Dining plans do not include drinks. The Tea Room was the first dining room to open in 1934.

Sanger

The Pioneer in Bell Gardens is nicer, cleaner and properly bustling. The drive through was always busy on my visit, and people were making big orders. I got more chicken, realized I’ll probably eat there a couple times a year until it closes, and took a sip of Orange Bang. I remembered I don’t like sugary things that kill me, just greasy things that kill me, and threw it away. You could get Orange Bang there, which is an Orange Julius if it had 20 percent more sugar in it.

Daybird

The best part is that there are a few locations across LA to score some Main Chick fried chicken. There was Arthur Treacher’s, a 1970s fish and chips chain (the first in America),started by an actor from Mary Poppins. Three survive on Long Island and four are scattered around Ohio. There were the McDonald’s franchises that still sold the McPizza, one in Ohio and one in West Virginia, until corporate made them stop in 2017 (took too long to cook).

This decades-old New Orleans-leaning Valley restaurant turns out reliable fried chicken by the piece. Diners can also sort through Bayou staples like gumbo and jambalaya to find fried chicken po’ boys and more. Experience Babe’s Chicken in the comfort of your own space! It’s not just another meal…it’s comfort food right to your door. In a common, ambient way, Pioneer Chicken was central to the Los Angeles experience, the myth history of the town. It was everywhere, like orange street lights or jacaranda trees, a fixture of the landscape.

MIGUELITO’S AUTHENTIC MEXICAN RESTAURANT

According to my mom, who ate there all the time, this shit was the kind of bad for you that drives you crazy with desire if you had it routinely and then never again. The sort of thing you’d move heaven and earth to have again, knowing full well it’s not the best, just something that can take you back in time. Indonesia is where Pioneer Chicken still soldiers on, 8,000 miles from where it started. The more important thing I learned is that there are two Pioneer Chickens left in Los Angeles, each stubbornly surviving for decades longer than all others. One is in Boyle Heights and the other’s in Bell Gardens.

The center mounted “Akro” light is very rare – it turns back and forth as it lights up. The large amount of gold leaf design reflects an era when the beauty and quality of the town’s fire engine was a point of pride. The Cedar Hill location is a remodel of the Cedar Hill City Hall.

THE NEXT STOP ON THE CoServ on the Road Tour 2024 is Sanger. Founded in 1886 by the railroad, the history of this town goes back more than a century, and city officials proclaim it the official Gateway to the Metroplex. Known for its small-town charm, Sanger boasts one-of-a-kind tourist destinations while promising to deliver many more. Every time I drive by the now-shuttered Johnie's, I lament that I'll never get to stop in for a slice of pie.

Once a Dining Plan is linked to a Season Pass, it is non-transferable. In order for benefits to be redeemed, the Season Pass must be used for admission on the same date. Yes, an All Season Dining Plan can be added to all Season Pass types, except Knott's Scary Farm Passes. The large dining room to the right of the entrance has been remodeled with a look inspired by Mrs. Knott’s kitchen pantry. Nods to Cordelia’s home kitchen, including a potbelly stove, rustic furnishings, and seating arrangements for large parties evoke themes of warmth, family, and togetherness.

The chicken is available country style with no heat all the way up to howlin’ which borders on painful to eat. Los Angeles may not be an ephemeral city, but it’s certainly the capital of ephemera. It’s terrible at holding on to its history, and punitive rent prices make it difficult to achieve any sense of consistency. Local institutions are routinely going out of business, and there’s always a sense that the places you like the most could just die out of nowhere one day, crushed under the uncaring boot of late capitalism. Pioneer Chicken is an endangered fast-food species and deserves our love and preservation.

A museum located on the south end of the downtown square, open every Saturday. For those who love history, the Sanger Area Historical Society is open every Saturday. They keep history alive; it is a great way to learn how the earliest settlers lived. If you enjoy outdoor activities such as wakeboarding, bass fishing, sailing, or hiking, Lake Ray Roberts is the perfect spot. Alternatively, if you’d like to slow down and do some volunteering, the Born 2 Be Therapeutic Equestrian Center offers equine therapy for children and adults with disabilities. The Babe’s Chicken Dinner House in Granbury opened on June 18, 2007.

He was just entertaining a deranged fantasy about how he would piss his money away if he were rich. But the discovery that this chain I had almost completely forgotten had a second life somewhere fascinated me. So down the rabbit hole I went, investigating the ghosts of lesser-known American fast food chains and where and whether you could still find them.

Not only will you encounter some of the world’s most revered sites and cities from Dubai to Sydney, you’ll have the opportunity to step ashore in lesser frequented ports, maiden calls and first time ever calls for Princess. Encounter some of the world’s most revered sites and cities from Kuala Lumpur and Sri Lanka to Bali, and Singapore. Choose one of four Ultimate World Cruise segments — each an unforgettable voyage of 60+ nights where you can wander and explore that corner of the globe. This is your chance to dive deeper into the world’s most remarkable destinations on 16 unique, immersive sailings ranging from 9 to 28 nights.

Grand World Voyage Featured Ports

As a bonus, most of these around-the-world voyages include enviable perks, like pre-cruise hotel stays, alcohol, shipboard credit, exclusive-access shore excursions — and, yes, laundry service. She says the longer people stay on, the more at-home and comfortable they feel, and sometimes they carry that a bit too far. "Walking around the buffet in robes and slippers is not appropriate, even after two months onboard." Then match the itinerary against weather charts for the time of year you'll be visiting.

Ultimate Americas Cruise

Take in the largest Art Deco sculpture in the world, Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro. Behold the largest waterfall system on the planet, Iguazú Falls near Buenos Aires. And explore Machu Picchu, one of the most iconic symbols of Peru’s ancient Inca heritage. Then sail up to the Yucatàn Peninsula to discover hidden coves and dramatic rock formations along Land’s End in Cabo San Lucas before exploring Ensenada.

World cruises can test people's patience, and after several months together, tempers occasionally flare. Having a naturally optimistic and happy demeanor, and liking the company of a variety of people, will help combat that. Like 1,100 others, she was following in the footsteps of that most famous of circumnavigators, Phileas Fogg, and cruising around the world in 80 days. I, on the other hand, was a world cruise virgin, doing a two-week sector between Hong Kong and Mumbai in India. It might sound unbelievable that you'll be able to spread your arms out under Argentina's Christ the Redeemer statue and sip cocktails beneath the Sydney Opera House on the same sailing, but on this epic journey around the world, you can.

And hold off on your Instagram photo dumps until after your vacation.

Many lines will offer complimentary business-class airfare or private car services to pick you up from your home. Special events, like a grand evening ashore, including dinner with the company CEO, are common. Look for exclusive events, such as having access to the Sistine Chapel or a campside dinner in the Namibian desert. A bigger ship can offer more options, but it's more limited in its ports.

But let’s face it: The base fare alone isn’t ultra-affordable compared to other cruise ships.

This means there are more opportunities than ever before to take one of these bucket list cruises. Enjoy 133 days on Silversea's Silver Shadow with this round-trip sailing from San Francisco. During that time, the ship will visit 65 ports in 14 countries, including Fiji, New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, China, Japan, and Canada.

Segments

Whatever style you prefer, it pays to decide early, as you get the best deals -- and cabins -- as soon as bookings open, which is usually 18 months in advance. Coming into the middle of a world cruise was a bit like meeting the neighbors for the first time. A Cunard full world cruise or world cruise sector brings the globe's greatest sights to your door, with illuminating guest speakers and gourmet cuisines that unlock the secrets of the destinations you'll encounter.

Princess is the prime example, as it's been offering a world cruise that starts in Australia in May. If not, you might get claustrophobic, as some itineraries -- but not all -- have at least one long stretch of days at sea. Wives, I noticed, also made time for the laundry room, which was the best place to pick up on the gossip. For any cruises listed, Cruise Critic does not guarantee any specific rates or prices. Our award-winning Grand World voyages are on a scale all their own. Winner of Readers’ Choice from Travel Weekly for Best World Itinerary.

Plan a Cruise Around the World and Discover 3 Exotic New Ports

Let Princess pick you up from the airport and take you directly to your ship or hotel when you arrive, even if you didn't book your airfare through us. A uniformed Princess representative meets you at the airport after you've retrieved your luggage and transports you directly to your ship or hotel without you having to worry about the logistics of navigating a new city. Remove the hassle from air travel and give yourself the gift of flexibility, time and a thicker wallet with Princess EZair flights. We negotiate lower rates with the airlines, allow you to modify your flight up to 45 days prior with no penalty and protect you if your flight is late or canceled.

As you sail on your World Voyage, find yourself stepping foot on shore in some of the most alluring global destinations. Perhaps you look forward to long, luxurious hours spend beneath the warm sun on tropical, palm-fringed beaches. Instead of looking forward to a handful of new ports to discover, just imagine experiencing a little bit of the life and culture in ten, twenty, or even thirty destinations. A world cruise price will depend on the stateroom or suite and the itinerary you choose.

What is a world cruise? Here's what sets the months-long voyages apart.

Sailing the world with many of the same passengers offers an unprecendented bonding experience with like-minded travelers. The guests and crew become very much like a family on a world cruise, which can be a real joy to watch unfold — especially if you follow cruise etiquette and are considerate of others during the voyage. And the itinerary of the Ultimate World Cruise℠ 2023 is so extensive it's almost impossible to imagine. Certainly, if you love cruising and want to see much of the world as possible in one fell swoop, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to check many travel icons off your bucket list.

So you can complement back-to-back discoveries onshore with all your favorite comforts onboard, plus thoughtful touches to elevate every moment. Your once-in-a-lifetime journey begins December 2023, embarking from in Miami on the first segment of the Ultimate World Cruise℠ — the Ultimate Americas Cruise. Go from postcard-perfect Caribbean shores—including the ABC islands —to viewing abundant wildlife like sea lions, penguins and whales roaming glacier-studded Antarctica as you round Cape Horn. Along the way, discover World Wonders in South America, including man-made marvels and extraordinary natural phenomena. There's a reason Royal Caribbean's new mega-cruise ship is only operating seven-night sailings. From the very beginning, toast to your holiday with a glass of fizz in your suite or stateroom, and perhaps later take in an extraordinary show after dinner.

Like most mass-market cruise ships, Icon of the Seas' 18 bars aren't free. If you want alcohol and sodas, be prepared to pay for a beverage package. But it is possible to vacation on the mega-ship without giving into any of its upcharged restaurants and activities. If you're strong enough to do so, here's what your seven nights on Icon of the Seas could look like.

You can spend 274 nights bonding with like-minded explorers over global discoveries across all seven continents. Or pick a corner of the globe and explore every inch of it on one of four Ultimate World Cruise℠ segments — each an immersive voyage of 60+ nights. Connect with countless distinct cultures, soak up the most spectacular landscapes on Earth, and marvel at World Wonders that showcase mankind’s boundless imagination. Silversea Cruises' 2025 world cruise aboard the ultraluxurious, 596-passenger Silver Dawn looks amazing.

Every world cruise features a range of destinations, from bustling capitals to seldom-visited jewels. The discovery continues on board with an enhanced enrichment program. While going to your next destination, you can learn new brush strokes with artists in residence or attend live cooking demonstrations. From booking your suite to reviewing your itinerary, the start of your adventure has never been simpler.

Check the ports of call carefully; it would be a shame to head off around the world and visit places you already know. On the other hand, a few repeat visits are great for discovering some new little gems. The line's ships, however, are much more modestly sized and offer a sweet spot between the small, ultra-luxury ships and the larger, more modern vessels. If you just can't get away during the traditional world cruise start date in January, don't despair. A few lines have started to move world cruise dates to reach new clients.

For any cruises listed, Cruise Critic does not guarantee any specific rates or prices. Hello, I'm Alison a Disney Cruise and Travel Blogger with over 40 cruises and more than 30 years of Disney travel experience. I share tips, reviews and videos so that you can have the best Disney travel experience. Here is the schedule of all the Disney Magic cruises sailing from Galveston in 2023. There may well be more but right now, only the early 2024 Disney cruises are released for booking.

Disney Cruise Parking at the Port of Galveston

From Broadway-style shows to character meet-and-greets, there's never a dull moment onboard the ship. Kids can join youth clubs where they'll be immersed in themed play areas while adults can relax and unwind at exclusive adult-only spaces. All Disney Cruise ships have 3 main dining restaurants and you will visit them all during your vacation. The Disney Magic is a good first cruise ship to sail on as she is of a manageable size so you quickly learn your way around.

What Is the Address of Disney Cruise Line at Port Galveston?

Still, if you’re planning to embark on your very first cruise, Galveston is an excellent departure point. The Disney Magic cruise ship is also one of the best Disney cruise ships for first-time guests because it’s easy to navigate.

Remember that although the price of this cruise seems high it is over Christmas so will always be a higher cost time of year. Also, it is usually best to book a Disney cruise as far ahead as possible as usually, the prices go up. She was the first ship to be added to the Disney Cruise fleet and she is the sister ship to the Disney Wonder. Stay active and rejuvenated at Disney Magic with a range of health and wellness amenities. The ship’s fitness center offers state-of-the-art equipment and classes, while the onboard spa provides a tranquil oasis for relaxation and pampering.

Beyond Disney’s official partner hotels, there are several other good lodging options in the area, many of which are within walking distance to the cruise terminal. Shuttle service is a popular option to reach the port and its nearby hotels; shared shuttles can be a more cost-effective option than dedicated vehicles such as Uber, Lyft, or taxi. But they’re usually priced per-person, so larger groups might find it better to seek another option. There are also plenty of eating options just off the beach in the hotel district along Galveston Seawall, such as chain restaurants, family-oriented attractions, convenience stores, and grocery shops.

Those traveling from William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) should dedicate at least 60 minutes to their drive. Some hotels located very close to the port offer their registered guests the option of leaving their car parked at the hotel during their cruise. Check directly with your travel agent or hotel to determine if this option is available and how much it will cost. The largest indoor parking facility in Galveston is operated by Port Parking. It’s located about about a mile from the Disney Cruise Line terminal and provides customers with a complimentary shuttle. Their indoor parking facility is completely enclosed; all access doors are locked at the end of the day, while motion detector alarms, laser beams, and surveillance system ensure your vehicle remains safe.

This modern port contains all sorts of unique experiences offering interesting cultural sites and pristine beaches within minutes from the harbor. Disney Cruise Line offers a variety of cruises departing from its Port of Galveston terminal in 2024 and 2025. From shorter four-night voyages to seven-night Caribbean cruises, Disney cruises from Galveston, Texas, have something for everyone. Planning ahead for parking not only saves time but also allows you more opportunity to fully enjoy every moment aboard your Disney cruise ship. Remember that anticipation begins long before stepping foot onto deck – by organizing logistics like parking in advance, you're setting yourself up for a truly magical experience from start to finish. By choosing the official port parking lots, you can have peace of mind knowing that your vehicle will be safe and secure while you embark on your magical adventure.

The advice for the best places to view the fireworks and show is the same as for the Fantasy and Dream. If you are on Deck 9 you will still be able to watch the fireworks from most places. However, since the resumption of cruising, the buffet only seems to be happening on a select number of cruises. When the Disney Cruise room steward makes up your stateroom, he/she will leave you a Disney Pirate Bandanna for each member in your party. Depending on when you have dinner, you might see the Pirates of the Caribbean stage show (on the pool deck) before dinner or after. I hope you are able to plan and fulfill all of your fantastical travel dreams!

This event is a lot of fun and can often get quite crowded, so expect to be around a lot of other guests when attending the pirate events onboard. All of the current Disney Cruise Line ships offer a Pirates Night for most of their itineraries aboard the Disney Fantasy, Disney Magic, Disney Dream, Disney Wonder, and Disney Wish.

That part, clearly geared toward children, was peppered with crew members selling expensive light-up toys and glow sticks from carts surrounding the pool deck area. The Boutique supplies visitors with accessories like swords, eye patches, bandanas, scars, earrings and makeup applications that include either black eyes and beards or lip gloss and gems. Everyone onboard is encouraged to dress up, and many passengers bring costumes with them specifically for this event. But all Disney Cruise guests receive a free Pirates theme bandana.

I opted to wear regular clothes our first Pirate Night, and although it was fine I did wish I had done a little something pirate inspired. On Disney Cruise Pirate Night several characters get a pirate makeover. For example, Mickey meets guests in his full pirate outfit. When entering Pirates League don’t expect a polite welcome, but that’s part of the fun. The pirates take the job very seriously and expect you to have the right swagger to join their crew.

The Deck Party

Cabanas buffet reopens with a full special Pirate Night buffet during Club Pirate. We were still stuffed from dinner, but others were indulging on the late night meal. I loved looking at the pirate themed watermelon carvings and other pirate decor in the buffet line.

The take home goodies from Pirates League, other than a costume if you choose that option, are a sword, a special bandanna, your pirate oath with new name, a medallion necklace, and an eye patch. For the pirate princess makeover you also get to keep the nail polish and lip gloss. During the entire makeover your pirate stays in character and makes a big show of getting you ready to join the crew. That said, you absolutely don’t have to (unless you for some reason are also obligated to cover Lobster Night for work)! Instead, you CAN grab a piece of pizza and hang by the pool if you’re getting a touch overwhelmed with all the eats at dinner. But, it wasn’t until last year that I took my first ever week-long cruise.

We mostly see kids, but some full families have gotten pirate makeovers for the night. I cruised with my friend Cassie from Disney Food Blog on my week-long cruise and we made sure to get a picture with our server. We were also blown away by the attention to detail that our room attendant had. We had a banner in our room that kept falling and every day when we came in it was taped back up. However, I do have to admit that overall the Pirate Night Dinner Menu is not my favorite.

Both her costume and her husband’s were a one size fits all. There are some fun Disney Cruise Pirate Night costume ideas out there. I debated striped shirts or something simple for my husband and I.

Your stateroom attendant typically leaves a Mickey Mouse pirate bandana for each member of your party along with some chocolate gold coins to kick off the evening. Guests can wear the bandana as a simple costume if they don’t want to get too dressed up for the festivities. We should note that you are not required to dress up at all; it’s completely up to you.

Trying to do a lot with just a little bit of money and space? Consider going for a casual, DisneyBounding-style look with affordable everyday pieces you can possibly wear again. This is the route my group took during our first Disney cruise, and we’re glad we did.

The night culminates with an impressive at-sea fireworks show. Disney Cruise Pirate Night is an event offered once per sailing on Disney Cruises and is one cruisers will not want to miss. This dinner and deck party is based on the Pirates of the Caribbean theme, complete with Disney character appearances and entertainment.

I've been on 15 Royal Caribbean cruises, and here are the best 6 cruise ships for adults

Adults-only cruises are tailor-made for a specific kind of traveler – someone who appreciates the finer things in life, values tranquility and sophistication, and seeks an escape from the daily grind. The ideal client for adults-only cruises is typically an adult individual or couple aged 18 and above, looking to embark on a vacation that prioritizes relaxation and enjoyment. These travelers relish the prospect of a child-free environment, where they can bask in the serenity, engage in meaningful conversations, and immerse themselves in a refined atmosphere.

Paul Gauguin Cruises

Read reviews and seek recommendations from experienced cruisers who have taken adult-oriented cruises. Their insights can provide valuable information about the overall experience and atmosphere. As you research the different cruise lines mentioned above, here are some important factors to look out for. Saga’s all-inclusive fares include all meals, most drinks, gratuities, WiFi, classes, and transfers.

Regent Seven Seas

Royal Caribbean has pioneered cruising innovation, including surf simulators, rock climbing walls and ice rinks on the deck. There’s a cruise line for every traveler, but it’ll take a bit of research and decision-making to find the cruise line that fits your budget and cruising needs. We’ve curated a list of the best cruise lines for adults to help you start your research, whether you’re seeking a weeklong retreat from the kids or prefer the tranquility of an intimate cruising environment.

Onboard Activities

Although Azamara isn't exclusively an adult-only cruise line, its on- and off-board experiences are more tailored to adult passengers. However, what it lacks in size, it makes up for in amenities, including spa treatments, specialty dining and concierge services. While Celebrity Cruises is well-known for being one of the best cruise lines for kids and families, it’s also a great choice for adult-only groups that come aboard. With open-air dining and beautiful deck views, Celebrity Cruises will provide you with an unmatched travel experience.

Other select ships feature Cloud 9 Spa Staterooms and Suites, which include in-room products and give priority spa reservations, free fitness classes, unlimited thermal suites, and more. Princess is an all-ages cruise line; the typical guest is usually between 45 and 70. The line attracts an older demographic with its sophisticated dining options, traditional cruise style, and choice of longer and more exotic global itineraries. Ship-wise, since the line’s newer mega-ships feature so many kid-friendly amenities, such as VR arcades, laser tag arenas, and go-karts, the older ships often attract a more adult crowd. Cruisers should never expect a Royal Caribbean cruise to be devoid of children, but there are always enough options to make your sailing feel like a no-kids cruise.

Sailing with your sweetheart is inherently romantic — especially if you choose the right cruise line. Whether you prefer river or ocean voyages, many of the best cruises for couples are all-inclusive, with unlimited food and alcohol, free Wi-Fi, plenty of onboard entertainment, and other perks. Some cruise lines even throw in unlimited shore excursions, free spa access, airfare, and private transfers — so there's no need to bring along extra cash. A handful of the best cruises for couples are adults-only, while others offer select onboard spaces geared toward grown-ups. With almost six decades of experience, Princess Cruises is a luxury cruise line that caters to older adults with world-class entertainment and activities. With deck-side movie screenings, deluxe spa treatments and stateroom service, Princess Cruises offers a variety of amenities to its passengers that help make it one of best cruise lines for adults.

Cruise Line Adds “Glacier Day” to Its Alaskan Cruise Itineraries

Virgin Voyages ships carry 2,500 passengers to exciting ports of call in the Caribbean and Mediterranean. If you’re looking to party ‘til the sun comes up with like-minded people, this could be the best cruise for adults for you. Other cruise lines cater primarily to adults — meaning most of the amenities and activities are designed for adults — but children and/or teenagers are also welcome on board. Before we dive in, it’s important to note that some ships offer true adults-only cruises (meaning there will be no passengers under the age of 18 or 21). Finally, don’t count out Carnival Cruise Line and Princess Cruises, both of which also offer unique, adult-friendly amenities and experiences. The variety of options ensures that whatever your idea of a perfect vacation, you’re sure to find a cruise line that can sail you there.

More Royal Caribbean

For those more mature couples, we’d suggest looking at a cruise with Celebrity — especially aboard their newest Edge-class ships. Furthermore, the more sophisticated atmosphere of Princess ships mean that fewer families set sail on the line. For one, things like gratuities and all food are included in the fare — no buffet is on the ship. Those headaches that can cause a typical cruise to feel like you have to pay up to get the full experience just aren’t there.

Scenic Cruises

Revolutionizing the river cruise industry, they have stylish ships appealing to older generations. Viking Ocean Cruise’s dedication to catering to this niche has allowed them to be the leading cruise line for adults. Adults can expect pampering at a spa with hydrotherapy pools, salt rooms, quartz beds, and mudrooms. Its lines are described as sexy, hip, and cool, and its goal is to draw in those who have never previously considered taking a cruise. Their amenities are cutting edge, with test kitchens, the largest daybed found at sea, and extravagant nightclubs. They perfectly cater to a millennial lifestyle where experience ranks higher over materialism.

Arcadia offers similar itineraries to her smaller sister ship, sans world cruises. Sure, Norwegian Cruise Line has won a ton of accolades for its family-friendly cruising. And chances are, you will probably spot quite a few kids throughout your sailing (especially depending on when and where you sail). However, cruisers in their 20s and 30s who aren’t ready to hang up their party hats will still find plenty of opportunities to escape screaming tots across Norwegian’s fleet of 19 ships. The entertainment and nightlife options alone make it a great fit for young adults, and the cruise line’s many cabin categories—including rooms designed for single adults—accommodate most cruising styles. Virgin is not all-inclusive, but it’s made smart decisions about what is on offer, from fitness classes like yoga, boxing or spin to the ability to pop into any dining venue across the ship at any time.

Young adults can pack their day with high-energy activities, such as laser tag, ice skating and boogie boarding on the FlowRider surf simulator. Celebrity Cruises is known for its sleek and sophisticated ships, all of which are complete with elegant onboard spaces for drinking, dining, and mingling. Grab pre-dinner drinks — and admire sweeping ocean views — at the stylish Sunset Bar, which boasts a casual country club-esque ambience. When you’re not exploring the various ports of call, grab your partner and head to the Salt Therapy Lounge before indulging in a gourmet lunch in the privacy of your suite. Scenic discourages guests under 12, so you likely won’t encounter any screaming babies.

While not explicitly adults-only — there are some child-friendly activities — it’s rare to spot little ones on board unless you’re cruising to popular destinations like Alaska or the Mediterranean in the summer months (when school’s out). With that in mind, those who opt for multi-week or months-long itineraries, including Grand Voyages, can most likely expect a kid-free sailing. In addition to polar expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctica, the line offers tropical voyages to South and Central America, Oceania and the Pacific Islands, and Africa and the Indian Ocean. Non-expedition sailings are also available and feature ports of call like Madagascar, Bequia Island in the Caribbean, and Kanazawa in Japan.

However, they also offer something extra for grownups — whether that's a more intimate ship size, out-of-the-ordinary itineraries, incredible choice of bars and restaurants, serene hangouts or thrilling attractions for active adults. Adults who relish scenic cruising should look no further than the 2,702-passenger Jewel of the Seas. With over 25 ships in its fleet, Royal Caribbean has a ship for every type of traveler, not just families with young kids.

7 Best Cruises to Alaska, According to Travel Experts

While this singular offering makes choosing your Viking Alaska blissfully straightforward, you can opt for pre- and/or post-cruise extensions in Vancouver, Anchorage, Denali, and beyond. For those looking for a couples retreat, Viking Cruises cater exclusively to adults. The minimum age is 18, and the ship is designed for a luxurious and tranquil experience, so you can truly get away from it all. Ketchikan is where folks go to see the Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show, with athletes wielding axes and saws in traditional lumbering activities. Many people trek to Alaska to commune with nature, but there's history here you shouldn't overlook.

Celebrity Alaskan Cruises

Dawn Gabree is a travel advisor who specializes in Alaska cruises at Travels by Danielle. With nearly endless summer days and coastal breezes, you’ll want to make sure to dress with flexibility in mind. During the summer months, especially July and August, temperatures in Southeast Alaska usually fall between 60 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit, while Southcentral Alaska and the Interior see higher heights into the 70’s and 80’s. Hop a bus, kayak, boat or plane to look for bears, eagles, whales, sea otters and other wildlife.

Spend the Day on Shore

And 99% of the staterooms on Celebrity Edge have king-size beds, featuring Celebrity eXhale bedding and Cashmere mattresses. The Celebrity Millennium, launched in 2000, has recently undergone complete modernization, which includes luxury staterooms, enhanced technology, and renovated restaurants and lounges.

To prepare for all conditions, you should plan for temperatures ranging from the 40s to 70s, both on and off ship. For your on-shore day excursions, be sure to pack layers of clothing and rain gear so that you can be comfortable. Proper footwear is also important and be sure to bring hiking shoes if you plan to enjoy outdoor activities.

Between these two, it's a tossup, though we put Norwegian Bliss in the headline above since, well, we already gave Norwegian Encore a turn in the limelight with the best-for-luxury category. Yes, the 3,998-passenger Norwegian Encore is a cruise ship that generally caters to the masses, not the luxury crowd. However, it has its own "ship-within-a-ship" luxury zone that offers a much more swanky experience for those willing to pay. Celebrity is popular with adults and couples looking for a premium onboard experience, including delicious cuisine, luxurious staterooms and a high-end spa. We can’t imagine a better way to rest and relax after spending a day exploring the Alaskan wilderness. Our travel experts suggest choosing one of Celebrity's many Alaska itineraries that sail through the Inside Passage and up to Dawes Glacier or Hubbard Glacier, two of the state’s gems.

The ship has an extensive children's program, high-quality entertainment, and such activities as water slides and play areas. For the coming year, for instance, as of this guide's posting, there were lots of Holland America sailings to Alaska from Seattle available for under $750 per person for seven nights — some as low as $429 per person for seven nights. Both of the Royal Caribbean ships sailing to Alaska from Seattle are loaded with attractions that are protected from the elements, including those bumper car pavilions and skydiving simulators.

Silversea’s Vancouver to Seward

For an even closer look at Mother Nature’s impressive work, from icebergs to whales, book a kayak or Zodiac Signature Expedition with their incredibly knowledgeable guides. Guests can explore the small fishing town of Petersburg or search for orca and humpback whales in Frederick Sound. Lindblad has special permits to bring passengers into the wilderness of Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve and the Tongass National Forest, beyond what the big ships can offer. A hike on Chichagof Island is the perfect opportunity to spot bald eagles in the wild.

By understanding what different types of cruises are available, you can more easily discover the best Alaskan cruise line to fit your needs. Receive 60,000 online bonus points - a $600 value - after you make at least $4,000 in purchases in the first 90 days of account opening. Enjoy a one-time bonus of 75,000 miles once you spend $4,000 on purchases within 3 months from account opening, equal to $750 in travel. Like Holland America and Norwegian Cruise Line, Princess is among the few companies with permission to sail in Glacier Bay. Here are some of the best Alaska cruises based on what interests you most.

That’s substantial savings for choosing a one-way cruise on an older ship over a roundtrip itinerary. When taking the kids to a destination with so much to explore out in nature, you’ll want to give as much consideration to the onboard experience as you do to what you’ll do on land. Depending on age, some kids may have a shorter attention span than others. Many cruisers tack on a land portion option, allowing travelers to head into Denali National Park or stay in local land resorts to learn more about the culture. Other larger luxury ships with all-inclusive rates in Alaska include the 375-cabin Regent Seven Seas Explorer and Silversea’s 298-cabin Silver Muse. An Alaska cruise from Seattle will visit the Inside Passage but tends to favor the open (and frequently bumpier) Pacific Ocean.

This can commonly be found at the beginning and end of the cruise season during April, May and September. The summer months make it more expensive due to higher demand since kids are out of school. To minimize joining the masses during high season, consider a shoulder-season sailing (in late April, May or September), or select a ship that embarks midweek.

Generally speaking, the larger the ship, the cheaper the initial price tag. Mega-cruises (with cruise lines such Princess, Carnival, Celebrity, Disney, and Holland America) can go for as little as $100 a night (so roughly $600 per person for a six-night sailing). These resorts at sea, however, are often not all-inclusive, so be sure to check the fine print before putting your credit card down. Passengers frequently have to pay extra (and usually at a premium) for things like specialty dining, alcoholic beverages, and off-boat activities.

Adults can enjoy themselves on an Alaskan Disney Cruise, too, with adult-exclusive dining; an adult-only pool and hot tub; fitness center; and Senses Spa & Salon. Viking Orion's 10-night cruise between Vancouver and Seward includes scenic sailing of the Inside Passage and Yakutat Bay and a stop at rarely visited Valdez. Now that it has a couple of seasons in Alaska under its belt, HX (formerly Hurtigruten Expeditions) is not holding back. In 2024, the company is offering a 19-day sailing that starts in Vancouver, Canada, before working its way past the fjords, glacier-filled straits, and Indigenous villages of the Inside Passage. Unlike most other sailings that stay within the southeast, from here, the ship hangs a hard left and chugs along to Kodiak, an island community known for humongous brown bears and prolific crab fishing. Though it’s the second-largest island in the entire United States, it’s rare that cruise ships visit, mainly because it lacks the infrastructure for big ships.

Seas in Alaska are choppiest on Gulf of Alaska itineraries where waters are open. Alternatively, Inside Passage cruises in Alaska tend to be calmer as the waters are protected. One-way Gulf of Alaska itineraries are the best option for Alaska touring, as they begin or end in Alaska. If you'd like an assist with your outdoor adventures, the Mount Roberts Tramway climbs 1,800 feet above Juneau for gorgeous views. Those who'd prefer man-made experiences can check out honky-tonk at the raucous Red Dog Saloon or dip into any of the microbreweries and distilleries all over town. The advantage of small ships is that they're more nimble than big ships, putting destinations like the Alaska Native village of Kake, the Wrangell Narrows and other tiny inlets within reach.

Cruises through Alaska's gulf also tend to pass through the Inside Passage, with typical stops including Sitka, Juneau, Skagway and Ketchikan. Some will also call on more off-the-beaten-path ports like Icy Strait Point and Haines. Book a spa treatment or work out in the Aquamar Spa + Vitality Center, play nine holes of golf on the putting greens, shop the three boutiques, and unwind, help yourself to afternoon tea with all the accouterments at 4 p.m. Bargain seekers should either book early for these accommodations or choose inside, outside or guarantee cabins (where you don't pick your room location) to save more. King's Blues Club, play a game of pickleball on the outer deck or enjoy fine dining at numerous restaurants serving sushi and Asian cuisine, steak, seafood, Italian fare and Dutch treats.

In 2022, the cruise line was the first to receive Responsible Fisheries Management (RFM) certification, meaning its Alaska-bound ships serve only fresh, certified sustainable and traceable wild Alaska seafood. The 7-Day Glacier Discovery itinerary is offered both northbound and southbound, both of which include cruising the Inside Passage and Glacier Bay, and calling upon Ketchikan, Juneau and Skagway. The top decks of Holland America vessels, notably, lack many of the kid-focused attractions found on the top decks of more family-focused ships operated by the likes of Royal Caribbean, Carnival and Norwegian.

Holding just 12 guests, the ship is one of the smallest sailing commercially in Alaska, so it’s able to tuck into areas the mega-ships can’t. From there, guests are flown back to Vancouver, where their itinerary ends. The cost of an Alaskan cruise can vary greatly depending on your itinerary, length of trip, cruise line, and a number of other factors.
