ABUBUWAN DA ZA KU GUDU DAGA WANNAN LABARI:
- Where to go is typically the first question cruisers ask themselves, so it’s no surprise that Best Ports of Call drew the most “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”.
- But overall, says Jason Colman, an elite cruise counselor scholar certified by the Cruise Lines Industry Association (CLIA), Oceania Cruises offer “the most intensive look at some of the world’s greatest cities—with most sailings including an overnight or two in port.
- Indeed, adventure cruises are gaining in popularity, and may range from highly technical deep-sea diving trips in the Caribbean, to swimming with sharks in South Africa, to retracing Darwin’s steps in the Galapagos.
