More extensively about sea travel
Cruise by sea depends on the chosen destination and can last from a few days to a couple of weeks.

If you want to go on a New Year's sea cruise, you need to keep in mind that you need to travel to the ship's departure station at your own expense individually. For example, if the Caribbean becomes the way of departure, then you will need to fly to Miami airport for your own money and then return to your homeland from the same city back.
Regulations on the New Year's cruise
There is no need to worry about the comfort and conditions on the ship that serve the New Year trips. All liners are floating hotels, which also have well-deserved stars.
On board five-star ships, in addition to many cabins, there are indoor and outdoor swimming pools, spa centers with their own body care services, water parks and a large number of sports facilities, such as surfing pools, gyms with fitness equipment , tennis courts, artificial turf golf courses, basketball and volleyball courts.

Traveling by sea in this way is possible even for families with children. For little travelers on the liners, special destinations have been made, ranging from entertainmentwith the participation of animators, completing with a special menu, playgrounds and halls.
By the way, the food of travelers who went on a New Year's trip is no worse than at home - tasty, satisfying and, of course, with traditional New Year's dishes. For this purpose, there are at least two restaurants, cafes and bars on all ships.
All meals, namely - breakfasts, lunches, dinners, juices, water and snacks - are included in the payment for the New Year's cruise. However, alcoholic beverages will need to be billed separately.
Before you pay for a tourist package, you need to find out which cabin you want to live in.

The cost of pleasure
Any holiday trips and during the period of seasonal excitement will be expensive and it will be impossible to find last-minute tours. Cruises to the islands of the Bahamas, the Caribbean, the United Arab Emirates cost about 30-40 thousand rubles during the New Year. for 1person (when staying in inner cabins). A trip to the Mediterranean Sea will be a little more expensive, and a trip to the Pacific Ocean and the Australian continent - from 65 thousand rubles. The price, as a rule, includes not only accommodation on the liner and meals, but also an excursion to all of the above activities, except for the spa, casino and excursions on the shore.
Visas will also need to be paid for by yourself. In addition, cleaning tips are not included in the cost of traveling during the New Year holidays (they are daily and amount to about $ 10).
There is another very important point regarding the monetary issue of travel in the new year. If, for any reason, the train has to be canceled (before the deadline set by the tour operator), then you can get a fine. In another way, the travel company is en titled not to the entire cost of the previously paid voucher. Thus, if you cancel the trip 2 months (75 days before the cruise and earlier), the cost of the tour will be refunded in full. And if the cancellation of travel for the New Year holidays is made in a shorter period, for example, 40 days, then half of the cost of the tour will be returned. If you cancel the trip in 14 days or less, you can lose all the money spent on the purchase of vouchers.
In any case, a New Year's Eve cruise is a non-trivial way to spend the winter holidays for those who want to make it unforgettable.
