Cruising with Storer Travel
The right ship makes the whole trip
There are dozens of cruise lines and hundreds of ships, and they are not all alike. Some are floating resorts with water slides and Broadway shows. Others carry a hundred guests into places big ships can't go. Our agents have sailed many of them, and we know which one suits a honeymoon, a family reunion or a retired couple who wants great food and quiet decks.
We help you choose the line, the itinerary and the cabin, then look after the details: flights to the port, a hotel the night before, shore excursions and travel insurance.
- Honest advice on lines, ships and cabin locations
- Pre- and post-cruise hotels, flights and transfers
- Group cabins for reunions, clubs and celebrations
- Promotions and onboard extras when they're available
Ways to cruise
Find your kind of cruise
Every style of cruising has its own pace, price point and personality. Here's how they compare.

Expedition cruises
Purpose-built ships with naturalists aboard and Zodiac landings, heading to Antarctica, the Arctic, the Galápagos and remote coastlines.
Best for: Adventurers, wildlife watchers and bucket lists
Luxury cruises
Smaller ships, spacious suites and nearly everything included, from fine wines to gratuities. Think Seabourn, Regent Seven Seas, Silversea and Oceania.
Best for: Couples, milestone trips and food lovers
Family-friendly cruises
Kids' clubs by age group, water parks, character experiences and connecting cabins, so parents get a vacation too.
Best for: Families and multi-generation groups
Small ships & yachts
Sail-assisted and yacht-style ships slip into smaller harbors in the Greek Isles, the Adriatic and the Caribbean, with a relaxed, social feel.
Best for: Repeat cruisers who want something different
