CRUISING -Affordable and Accessible
by Susan Perry, cruise specialist CareVacations, Leduc

Long gone are the days that only the few could afford a cruise vacation. With the increase in the number of cruise lines over the last few years, the competition has made for some very reasonably priced cruises.
Choices seem endless when researching a cruise holiday. Each cruise line offers various itineraries for various lengths of time ranging from the short week-end cruises to taking a multi-month world cruise.
An experienced cruise travel agent is able to best judge the cruise line that may be most appropriate for your needs. Each line appeals to different demographics. A recommended cruise for a family with teenagers would differ from one that would appeal to those in their retirement years.
Economically, cruising deals can be found easier if you are not limited to certain dates. As in all areas of travel, peak seasons equal higher pricing. Last minute (within a month) sell-offs are offered frequently.
Cruising is now very accessible travel for those with mobility or oxygen challenges. Locally based, CareVacations, rents all types of mobility and oxygen equipment to all of the cruise lines throughout the world. The equipment is in your stateroom when you arrive on the ship. Portable oxygen units are available for air travel as well.
CareVacations Groups program offers escorted itineraries throughout the year. These groups include a CareTeam of hosts, complimentary mobility and oxygen equipment, and many extras at competitive pricing to give those that need a 'little something extra', a peace of mind vacation.
