We
think cruising just keeps getting better every year,
mainly because offerings from the cruise lines keep
getting more diverse. There is truly something for
everyone — big
boats with every imaginable amenity, small yachts
to get you into smaller ports, exotic destinations,
(which our reader surveys tell us you love!) and
perfect trips for families, gourmets, history buffs,
and everyone in between.
 As
we look back at 2006, here are some of our favorite
"Intriguing Itineraries"
and cruise lines that you should consider as you
make your 2007 travel plans.
Bon
Voyage!
