Vacation: Cruise Package or tough Adventure?

With no doubt, sailing vacations are the most popular way of getting involved with offshore activities. More and more people chose to spend their holidays on board of sailing ships either on cruises with a professional crew or through sailing themselves.

The historic port of Rhodos (Greece) attracts sailors from all over the MediterraneanNo matter what type of adventure you choose – there are many aspects of planning the tour before you make a definite decision. In this section of Sailingahead.com, I try to break up this complex topic into practical advice and information specific to all relevant regions.

The practical part includes advice for preparations as well as health and safety issues. The regions are divided into geographic areas, including the top-destinations in the Caribbean, the Mediterranean and off the coast of California. In addition, I tried to include also less popular areas. I hope that you will enjoy your journey no matter where it takes you.
