Most Puerto Vallarta hotels offer these tours and there are often many different tours to choose from some are even tailored to whatever type of activity suits you.

One of the most popular tours is the Bay Cruises. These tours take you to see Puerto Vallarta the way it is meant to be seen by water. Amongst the wildlife that you will see are dolphins, manta rays, and even whales (if in season). You can also snorkel or just enjoy the natural scenery of the nearby islands.

Finding The Easy Cruise

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

With so many luxury cruise lines offering discount cruises and cruise deals, it is very rare that you will ever have to pay the full brochure price for a luxury cruise.

Allow me to give you some really useful tips on easily finding even better cruise bargains for cruises that suit your travel requirements.

There are so many cruise deals out there that getting a discount from the advertised prices should be relatively easy however, there are a few things you should consider before diving in and just booking the first cruise deal you come across.

What Do You Want From Your Cruise?

Remember, with cruises you are going to be on board ship for a lot of the time. It’s not like you can simply pack up and leave if you don’t like it – you’re stuck with it, which is not a problem if you love the ship – but if you don’t like your ship it is going to be a long and stressful trip.

If you want a peaceful, romantic cruise away from the kids for a week it’s no good booking on a family friendly cruise that is tailored to non-stop entertainment. Imagine trying to quietly relax by the pool with hundreds of screaming kids running amok all day. Similarly if you want a family cruise with lots to occupy the kids you don’t want to be sat next to the pool with nothing to do and the kids constantly nagging you that they are bored. So decide from the outset what you want from your cruise and have it clear in your mind.

How Much Will It Cost?

Once you have narrowed down the cruise liners that you are interested in, find out how much the cruise lines themselves are offering the holidays for (You can do this by visiting a cruise lines website). This will give you a starting point for your cruise bargain hunt and give you an ideal benchmark for comparison when you actually come face to face with a real cruise bargain.

Important Note: Finding a luxury cruise bargain does not work in the same way as flights or hotels where you can grab last minute bargains – these are few and far between with cruises so don’t rely on this in the same way that you would for a flight or hotel.

Use A Specialist Travel Agent

Cruises can be fairly complex to book, so when it comes to cruising, finding a specialist or using your own preferred travel agent is undoubtedly the best option. A good travel agent will listen to your requirements and solve your travel needs to the best of their ability and whilst they might not always be the very cheapest they will, over time, provide the most consistent, long term and best travel experience for you within your budget.
