Cruise ships give you the opportunity to discover foreign landscapes, extreme climates, new cultures, and of course, foreign wildlife. With so many cruises travelling around the globe, and with the abundance of excursions to choose from, you will certainly be able to find the right animal encounter to make your holiday complete.
There are all kinds of cruise holidays which go through Alaska, a place which is so remote and so wild that you will undoubtedly discover more than one species of wild animal. One option is a day trip to see the black bears who live on Prince of Wales island, just a short seaplane flight from the mainland. Watch the bears catching salmon, from a safe distance of course.
You might also like to go whale watching while you're in Alaska, although you can do this on many different cruises around the world. In Alaska's Auke Bay you can glide past glaciers and scenic mountains until you reach a well-known whale watching spot.
This is where humpback whales gather in the summer to eat, and the likelihood of spotting these amazingly immense creatures is very high. Your catamaran will have an on-board whale expert who can talk about the whales and answer any questions you might have.
If you'd rather have a holiday on a hot sunny beach, but would still like to encounter some wildlife, book cruise deals which go to the Caribbean. There are all kinds of excursions which include the local wildlife, such as snorkelling trips where you can swim with sea turtles on the Mayan Riviera. Here you'll find the turtle sanctuary, where chances of getting up close with turtles is extremely high.
