Cant Decide Where To Go? Take A Cruise To Nowhere!

by Roy Witman

Wasn’t it popstar Huey Lewis who sang “All I want is a couple days off!”? Don’t we all? Sometimes life seems like an ongoing rat race with getting the kids to soccer practice and the cat to the vet for her shots plus a hamper that resembles a volcano spewing a neverending flow of dirty laundry. A couple days off would be a godsend for most of us.

When you don’t have time for even a short three or fournight cruise a cruise to nowhere can still fit your schedule. Get Aunt Hilda to keep the kids for just two nights while you and your honey jaunt off into the sunset for a glorious quickie getaway that’s refreshing and fun!

What’s a Cruise to Nowhere?

Never heard of a cruise to nowhere? This is a wonderful little creation that came about years ago. You board a ship and sail off into the open ocean leaving your cares behind. It may sound like romantic dribble but for one to two nights it’s true. Ports including New York NY; Norfolk VA; Seattle WA and Los Angeles CA host cruises to nowhere on lines including Carnival and Norwegian Cruise Line.

Usually lasting no longer than two nights a cruise to nowhere sails out into the ocean turns around and comes back to the same port from which it left. If you leave from New York you’d sail out into the Atlantic Ocean turn around and return to New York again. What’s so exciting about that? It’s not the destination it’s the ship!

For example you can relish in the pampering and attention of spa treatments. Start with an hourlong fullbody massage that gently eliminates away every ounce of stress you’ve been carrying around since that last meeting at the office. Feel years melt away with delicate facial treatments. From fitness professionals to hairstylists you’ll find everything you need to destress.

Las Vegasstyle shows swimming pools dancing nightclubs and more are available so you can kick up your heels. And of course there’s the food!

Amazing creations from master chefs are put before you from morning to night! Eat in the main dining room and be waited on handandfoot or dine at your own schedule in one of the other fabulous restaurants. Every cruise line has something different to offer so regardless of which ship you choose you’re sure to have an abundance of exceptional food. Want a quick snack? Buffets are open 24 hours a day with everything from scrambled eggs to pizza to ice cream. And if you insist on being good you’ll even find healthful salads and grilled dishes.

Why Cruise to Nowhere?

When your time is limited this makes for a great getaway. Available from most major ports you have the freedom to embark from a city near you. These cruises are usually less crowded than full weekend or weeklong tours meaning your level of personal attention is even higher than it would normally be. And you simply can’t beat the price. Deals become available occasionally that allow you to book an allinclusive cruise to nowhere for around 150 per person. You couldn’t get a decent hotel room for two nights for that price.

When time and money are limited but you desperately need to break away and recoup consider a cruise to nowhere. They are fun affordable and will have you feeling like yourself again in no time flat!
