Thank you everyone for your suggestions.... i will give them all some thought before choosing my next cruise

You seem to be a walking contradiction. You want adventure, but don't want a small ship (which is all you would have on an expedition cruise). You want flow riders and climbing walls but don't want to be around a lot of kids (who are the reason those features were built and who those ships cater to). You want a young demographic and no seniors but don't want a party atmoshere. You want an all inclusive cruise that isn't expensive. In 10 days. Best of luck with that. 

 

Maybe try a Med cruise while school is still in session, or Panama Canal partial transit (10 days isn't enough for a full transit). Or an Iceland/Norway cruise. Pacific, Asian, or Australian cruises, while adventurous, would pretty much all require more than 10 days. 

I can accept there may be some level of contradiction,  but i didn't say 'no' seniors,  indeed they can offer good conversation.... but i don't want a cruise that's heavily dominated by the senior crowd. 

The ship activities i mentioned were just examples,  i was trying to say i don't just want to just lounge around all day. 

10 days is not fixed.... just a good balance i guess

I love the idea of the clipper ship....BUT....... the wife doesn't. She enjoys the stability of a bigger ship to avoid getting sea sick.

Hi All,

I have been on 3 cruises to date, Caribbean, Alaska and Baltics - all with different companies and enjoyed each for different reasons. What I want from you all is some suggestions for our next trip.... 🙂

A little info..... I am early 40's and enjoy adventure travel, places that are abit different, scenic and that give a decent amount of time off the boat to explore the outdoors or cities. What i don't like are the 'fake' overpriced cruise owned places that you can't leave.

I want a cruise that caters to a younger crowd that doesn't feel like 'gods waiting room' with everyone over 70. That said, I don't want a boat full of kids running around either and I am not a all night partier....

Its great when the boat has things to do like a flow rider or climbing wall so we are not just lounging around, however with cruises already being expensive, I don't tend to pay for spa's, expensive dining etc....so an all in price would be great.

Cruise duration - optional, but i feel around 10 nights is about right.

I tend to travel with my wife and perhaps son who is a young adult. We live in Canada, but obviously could fly wherever

Really open for ideas..... tell me what you think would be the ideal next cruise for us and why.

Thanks in advance...
