7-night Caribbean on Anthem of the Seas
Why It’s Great: There are tons of technological innovations and action-packed activities on this ship — one of the newest in Royal Caribbean’s fleet.

You’ll also get time to explore Nassau and lie on the beach at the line’s private island in the Bahamas, CocoCay.

4-Day Cuba on Norwegian Sky

7-night Transatlantic on Queen Mary 2
Why It’s Great: Sail from New York to Southampton with British flair on this traditional ocean liner with seven days at sea to relax.

It’s a great choice for those who want a traditional cruising experience on a beautiful (and recently refurbished) ship.
Price: $594 for an inside cabin. And on this sailing, Cunard is offering a free upgrade from ocean view to balcony: the price for both is just $834 (normally, balcony on this ship can be more than $1,000).
