2022 is a great time to travel. With so many places to go, you may be wondering what the best cruise destinations are. Cruises are operating across the world, so you have a diverse set of options to choose from. Whatever you decide, adventure awaits.

Cruise Destinations from Around the World 

Our list of best cruise destinations features regions from around the world. From Belize to Canada and Spain to Australia, we encourage you to think far and wide about what you would like to see and do in 2022. Some destinations are ideal locations for exploring the wildlife, hiking, and other outdoor adventures, while other locales are perfect to view rich cultural histories.

Visit Belize 

Make Belize your cruise destination for 2022. This Central American gem features a host of tropical wildlife, which, thankfully, have become more protected in recent years. You will be able to see a variety of endangered and wild animals on land and at sea if you opt for snorkeling. Additionally, get a glimpse of ancient Mayan ruins for a look into Belize's indigenous history.

Cruise Along Rivers in France 

Explore the wonders of France on a river cruise. The Seine River is one of the most well-known rivers in the world, and for good reason. It weaves through the beautiful city of Paris, where you can view elegant architecture and explore the history and culture of the region. Heading outside of Paris, you can view the scenic landscapes that inspired impressionist artists and charming villages, home to some of the finest vineyards.

Explore New Brunswick, Canada 

Canada is home to some of the best cruising destinations. Among them, New Brunswick offers an exceptional balance of natural and urban adventures. You can experience the backcountry beauty of Redwood Park, while still having access to the city's great shopping and culinary treats.

Zipline in Costa Rica 

If you're looking for a new experience amidst a beautiful, lush forest, set sail for Costa Rica. Costa Rica is consistently one of the best cruise destinations and a champion of biodiversity. While you're there, take a hike to incredible waterfalls, get hooked on ziplining while you travel through the trees, or raft down a rainforest river.

See New Wildlife in the Galapagos 

Visit one of the most remote places on earth by cruising to the Galapagos Islands. The Galapagos is renowned for the unique species of land and sea creatures that live there. Featuring 9,000 species of flora and fauna, visiting the Galapagos is sure to expand your appreciation for the variety of earth's inhabitants.

Travel to Africa 

If you haven't been to Africa before, 2022 is your year. Visit bustling towns, like Maputo in Mozambique, to experience a new type of daily life. Head to Hluhluwe Game Reserve to see wildlife, including cheetahs, lions, elephants and zebras.

Relax in Japan 

Experience Japanese culture by heading to Sapporo, the capital of Hokkaido. Hokkaido is the northern island of Japan and home to exceptional beauty. In Sapporo, you can feast on tasty ramen noodle soup, relax in natural hot springs, and explore a Shinto shrine.

Cultures Collide in Granada, Spain 

Head to Granada, Spain, to view a unique blend of Arab and European cultures. Interesting architecture permeates the city, with one of the finest creations being the Alhambra. Nearly every inch of the Alhambra is covered with floral, geometric or Arabic script, offering an immersive and transformative experience.

Sail the Danube River 

Travel through the heart of Central Europe by taking a cruise along the Danube River. This river cruise offers a firsthand view of centuries’ worth of European history. You will see many European countries, including Germany, Austria, and Hungary, as you travel along the river and through vineyards, traditional monasteries, and quaint towns.

Go for a Dive in Australia 

Hop on a cruise to Australia for incredible wildlife, beautiful cities, and rich culture. Snorkel in the Great Barrier Reef to see vibrant sea life and explore the natural wonders and landscapes at Perth’s Nambung National Park or Tamborine Mountain.

Last-minute Caribbean Christmas Cruise

"We spontaneously decided our family wanted to go on a Caribbean cruise for the Christmas holidays, and with little/no time, turned to TravelPerks Dream Vacations to help select, book and make it happen. We have cruised two times before, with TravelPerks, both times, have been exceptional experiences and this was no different. Matt Kim, my Travel Advisor, was attentive, quickly understood what I was looking for, my parameters, cruise type, our preferences, likes/dislikes and we were able to find and secure the right cruise for us (7 day Norweggian cruise). He gave great suggestions in regard to rooms, room location, meals, excursions, add-on packages and also where we could save money. Leading up to cruise day, we had many questions that came up and Matt answered them all, quickly and expertly. Matt - thank you for making this a wonderful and unforgetable experience for our family!"

Booking a Vacation is FUN!

"In today’s environment, booking vacations is hard. Why? There are a million and one websites out there that all have information on them. You can look at peer reviews until you are blue in the face. Is this ship really that bad? Is it the best thing ever? Is the resort awesome? Was it an isolated incident? Who knows. And sorting through all of them and figuring out what is real and what is somebody making a mountain out of a molehill takes time.

Which is where Theresa comes in. We love working with her for our vacations. It generally involves a quick phone call giving her a budget and the vibe we are looking for. And then go on an awesome vacation. No pecking through reviews and pricing that should be written in hieroglyphics. Just straight-up advice and no-nonsense planning.

Prior to using Theresa’s team, I would spend hours planning and routing and reading. Now? I pick the phone up or I email the awesome team and they take care of me and we get to enjoy our vacation. If you are booking a large group or an intimate vacation, I highly recommend Theresa and her team. Awesome to do business with and they make vacations FUN!"

Once In A Lifetime Trip

I was talking about TravelPerks during our state presentation, and a member commented that they had booked cruises through TravelPerks and had a fabulous experience! They both said that you guys were super easy to work with and explained everything well and they felt cared for. It's not often we get members interrupting a presentation to put it out there that they had a great experience!
