hey everybody how you doing it's Bruce here with traveling with Bruce I got a
video for you tonight to help you perhaps help you decide on a cruise line
that you may want to go on when you go on your next cruise I go live every
Monday night at 8 o'clock Eastern Time and over the last year and a half I've
been on the air on my live shows I get a lot of questions above what's the best
Cruise Line to take to go on a cruise especially from first-timers I get so
many first-timers asking me Bruce what cruise line should I pick and of course
I kind of come back at them and say I'll tell you what let me ask you some
questions before I can answer that question because depending on how old
you are how much time you have have you got a three-day cruise in mind a
five-day cruise a seven-day at ten day fourteen day twenty one day or more how
many are traveling who is it is it just a husband and wife going that are in
their 30s husband and wife in their 50s husband and wife in their seventies is
it mom and dad and two kids is it grandma grandpa mom and dad and two
grandchildren is it that kind of a thing it could be a multi-generational cruise
we've got all kinds of combinations here and now where do you want to go if
you're in the USA and you want to stay out of the US port well maybe a
Caribbean cruise or a Mexican cruise will work for you but if you're going to
travel to Europe and do a Mediterranean cruise or a British Isles cruise or back
to the USA you may want to do an Alaska cruise the combinations are endless and
so before you can pick your cruise line you kind of need to know where you're
going and who's going anyway this video I hope will give you a bit of an insight
as to some of the different cruise lines that are out there because this video is
all about the favorite cruise lines as selected by the readers of Travel and
Leisure magazine now the categories are by the size of
ship so I'll give you different categories of ship size and I'll tell
you the three favorite cruise lines in each of those categories and maybe

their number one pick the number two line for ships up to two hundred forty
nine passengers Crystal Cruises what a thousand dollars a night
will get you on to Crystal Cruises the smaller

accommodations number three line confirmed called eco Ventura the Eco
Ventura people have very small ships they're also specializing in the
Galapagos as their choice of where they're gonna take you and they do it
very well they have wonderful luxurious suites six star luxury thousand the
night plus of course for that kind of money you're gonna get the best don't
worry about paying extra for specialty dining on any of these cruises that
don't even worry about buying alcohol that's all included everything here is
is all in and you can see this area here is absolutely spectacular right the next
category is mid-sized ocean cruise liners 252 599 people and we start with
Paul ganyan cruises this company they've got one ship one ship only and it spends
its time down in Fiji four to six hundred dollars a night is the cost to

cruises Mediterranean the British Isles Asia you're looking at anywhere from
three to six hundred dollars a night per person generally speaking and there are
various lengths of cruises it's all six star all-inclusive there's nothing extra

third-place winner by the way hit Nick epic or sorry second-place winner in
this category they're not even the top line there the second line but look how
nice and just just such captivating photographs it's just incredible makes
you drool number three Windstar Cruises if you go
on one of these sailboat ships you're looking at two hundred fifty to four
hundred dollars a night if you go on one with the power boats you're a little
more than that maybe three hundred to four hundred dollars a night but
Windstar Cruises they operate I believe three motorized and three a sailboat
type with motors and it's also a six star luxury cruise line they do a lot of
cruising in the Mediterranean but in the summertime sorry summertime
Mediterranean wintertime Caribbean and if you want to
you know really experience cruising in a whole different way you grab one of
these sailboat ships and really enjoy the power boats they have that back lift
back there you can jump right in the water right off the ship and enjoy
yourself put on some snorkeling gear or whatever and enjoy six star luxury
accommodations and food and service very high personnel ratio to passenger ratio

passengers for the one fifth year or at least the 50 or neural Viking every year
that Viking ocean cruises has been at sea on on the oceans they have won the
top cruise line every time three to six hundred bucks a night is the average
price you'll pay there are I believe now nine Viking ships more coming Viking is
virtually everywhere they are definitely covering the Caribbean the Mediterranean
they're definitely in the Baltic area of British Isles they have it all it's an
all-inclusive six star cruise line no children 18 and older to get on this
ship and I can understand why the readers of leisure Travel and Leisure
magazine would love this cruise line without kids running around yeah yeah

superb you get to use a spa you have drinks at lunch and dinner standard
there is no extra service charges no extra specialty dining it's
all-inclusive and it is absolutely first-class they've got it nailed down
they know what they're doing on the river cruises they've now transferred it
