Father’s Day is right around the corner and this year, you want to give your dad the perfect Father’s Day gift. Why? Because your dad’s a great guy. After all, he’s the one who let you win all sorts of games while convincing you he really was trying. He read you books every night until you fell asleep and made sure there were no monsters in the closet. He\u2019s the guy who taught you how to change your first tire.<\/p>\n

This year, you want to get him something truly special. So, how about getting him a cruise for Father\u2019s Day? Or, even better, take him yourself. Then, he’ll have the gift of quality time with you and a cruise vacation neither of you will ever forget!<\/p>\n

1. For the Dad Who Needs a Quick Getaway<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your dad is the type of person who enjoys working around the clock. In fact, sometimes he works so hard, he forgets he needs to take a break. For your dad, a three-day cruise to The Bahamas<\/a> is the perfect remedy! It’s actually just a long weekend, but it will give you and your dad a chance to totally decompress on the pristine beaches that surround the islands.<\/p>\n

There is nothing like the laid-back atmosphere in The Bahamas. Get your dad’s mind tuned into relaxing on the white sands of the famous Atlantis Resort Beach<\/a>, sailing on a catamaran<\/a> or even swimming with dolphins<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If your dad doesn’t often vacation, this will be a cruise he’ll always remember.<\/p>\n

\"Father<\/p>\n

2. For the Dad Who Loves Adventure<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your dad is the type who is always first in line for the tallest and fastest ride at the amusement park, challenges himself on the most difficult ski runs and considers hiking in the Rocky Mountains a good activity for a Sunday afternoon. Relaxing on the beach wouldn’t give your dad the excitement he loves, so how about a seven-day cruise to Alaska<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Travel to Juneau, for example. You could take an excursion to see the glaciers up close during a helicopter ride. Then, you can take a turn driving a dogsled<\/a> to get a real Alaskan experience. When you visit Ketchikan, you’ll see the gateway to the North and you can zipline through the rainforest in the Tongass National Forest<\/a>. While you’re in Skagway, you can hike to Denver Falls<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A cruise to Alaska is an adventure lover’s dream!<\/p>\n

\"Dog<\/p>\n

3. For the Nature-Lover Dad<\/strong><\/p>\n

Does your dad enjoy watching wildlife in their natural habitat? Is he the one who wants to stop at every scenic outlook because you never know what will catch your eye when you’re looking at the natural world? When you cruise to Hawaii<\/a>, you’ll experience a diverse, natural environment full of waterfalls, beaches and tropical wildlife.<\/p>\n

You and your dad can experience the majesty of the Hawaiian Islands from the top of a mountain<\/a>. For underwater exploration, hop on a catamaran<\/a> and sail off to prime snorkeling areas, or plan a visit to the Maui Ocean Center<\/a> for an extraordinary look at the undersea world without getting wet. Finally, explore the rainforest on a zip line<\/a> or marvel at the natural beauty of the islands when you visit the Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After you travel to Hawaii, you’ll return home with a completely new appreciation for the remarkable diversity of nature.<\/p>\n

\"Man<\/p>\n

4. For the History Buff Dad<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is for the dad who’s always been fascinated at how civilizations come and go. He’s still hoping someone will find the lost City of Atlantis and wonders what happened to the ancient civilization of Easter Island. Give him an opportunity to explore the lost Mayan civilization with a cruise to Mexico<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You’ll have a chance to explore the Mayan ruins at Uxmal<\/a>, Chichen Itza<\/a> and Dzibilchaltun.<\/a> Then, for a complete change of pace, join in for some Mexican beer tasting<\/a> or explore today’s Mexican culture at a Mexican Folkloric show<\/a>!<\/p>\n

\"Mayan<\/p>\n

It doesn’t matter what kind of a dad you have, each cruise offers a little bit of everything. And, you don’t need to schedule it for Father’s Day. You can always purchase the cruise and then present it as your Father’s Day gift. There’s no way either of you will be disappointed!<\/p>\n
