The time for summer is quickly approaching. You’re ready to plan that perfect vacation, but there is an ongoing debate about which is better; an ideal vacation spot or a cruise vacation. Either option can offer up fun, but one is truly worth the trip.

According to the article, “Cruise information,” you’ll find variety of activities to do and see. Such as broadway-style shows and musical performances. In addition to the onboard entertainment, there are spas, and pool side activities. As for food the article says there are a wide array of world class international inspired cuisines. Depending on the type of cruise selected you can see  breathtaking ocean views and sightseeing various of islands, cities and countries in a week or two at sea.

“[It is] better than just going to a regular vacation spot, because you end up going to really nice vacation spots while on a cruise,” said Camille Baldovino.

Furthermore, in the latest statistics, an article called Cruise ship industry statistics states in 2013 approximately 21.12 million people were onboard a cruise ship. An average person spends $1,770 with the ticket cost and onboard spending. In other words, 80% of passengers thought it was a great way to explore destinations.

On the other hand, so may ask what is an ideal vacation spot, it can be from visiting Paris, Cabo, Hawaii to New York City. Many desire visiting places of their choice, such as Paris. You can taste authentic food of France, and also you can feel the culture and see famous monuments to historic buildings stated from the article “Why visit Paris.” As for beaches an article “Quora” states you are in a open area and you can explore the natural beauty. As well as the diversity of activities at the beach from surfing, snorkeling, hiking, canoeing and kiteboarding.

“You can experience tourist stuff and native [activities].  You get a feel for what the place is really like,” said Sasha Milstein.

Land tours are ideal for travelers who value open space, as well as independence.

“[Land vacations] are very relaxed and you have the option to explore anywhere you wish and you are not reserved to one place,” said Katia Buisson.

“You can do many activities on a ship — from movie nights, golf to zip lining and you feel the waves during the night,” said Grace Wallach.

After getting a look about what the two vacations are really like, it’s clear that people who love the sea and like interacting with many people can go on a cruise vacation. An ideal location spot would be perfect for those who prefer to be independent and adventurous.
