- A Model Cruise With Pluses
Curvy women with catwalk dreams now have the chance to strut their stuff on an exotic cruise to the Western Caribbean. Called the Figure at Sea cruise, the trip offers plus-size passengers a variety of entertainment and life-enriching activities-and the opportunity to look and feel like a model.
The family-friendly trip, setting sail from November 4 to 11, includes beauty and modeling seminars, workshops meant to help women learn to love their bodies and to express their inner styles, personal consultations with stylists and health and beauty experts, as well as daily fitness classes. - Booking A Cruise
Before you set sail on a cruise vacation, it may help to heed a few tips from the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) to help ensure your vacation dreams stay afloat:
• Find out what documentation you need. Most international travel, now or soon, will require a valid passport, so it's important to plan ahead. Allow time for your passport application to be processed and be sure to include the cost of acquiring a passport in your travel budget.

River cruising continues to be a popular trend among American travelers vacationing to top destinations such as Europe, China and Egypt, but is it right for you? If cruising along a waterway, taking in beautiful landscapes and docking at multiple ports to explore exciting destinations sounds appealing, a river cruise may be the perfect fit for you.
Travel experts suggest you ask the following questions to help determine whether a river cruise is the best choice for your next vacation: - Cruising For Romance
Cruises are among the most popular romantic vacations for Americans. In fact, couples account for more than 79 percent of all cruisers who typically go for six or more days, spending an average of $1,690, not including airfare, according to Cruise Lines International Association.
That "sweetheart" deal can turn sour, however, if couples do not research and prepare to make sure everything goes smoothly at sea. Travel insurance is a good way to avoid common travel problems, according to one expert. - Boomers Seek In-depth Cultural Exploration
A recent survey by Greenfield Online, Inc., a leading research company, shows that 87 percent of Americans 55 years or older who travel internationally say it is important to experience the local cultures of their vacation destinations. Whether travelers are tasting traditional cuisines or learning about regional pastimes, these activities allow for a deeper understanding of places they visit.
Today, travelers are also eager to visit multiple destinations during one vacation. Cruising is a great way to discover an entire region--but cruise trips don't have to be all about the ship. In fact, almost 90 percent of cruisers say that on-land experiences are either more important or equally important to onboard experiences. - Guiding The Way In Faith-based Vacations
According to a recent study by Baylor University, more than 90 percent of Americans say they believe in God or a higher power, which to many means that most people in the U.S. have a desire for spirituality in the everyday. While these individuals celebrate personal beliefs in their own way, many are turning to faith-based travel as a new and unique opportunity for enlightenment.
Today, more than 600,000 Americans travel overseas each year for religious purposes and 50,000 churches play host to travel programs. From pilgrimages that trace the paths of important religious figures to tours of some of the world's most remarkable places of worship, faith-based vacations offer travelers a life-changing and awe-inspiring cultural experience.
