10 Cruises in 2026 for Travelers Who Want More Than a Floating Resort

If we had a dollar for every traveler who said they weren’t a “cruise person,” we’d have enough to book a top-of-the-line Antarctic sailing. The truth is, modern cruising looks nothing like it used to, and there’s now a sailing for nearly every kind of traveler.
