    It's one of Germany's most iconic celebrations; a tradition dating back centuries. For many, Oktoberfest immediately conjures up images of beer, parties and tents filled with festive revelers. It's no surprise that many river cruise lines include the chance to participate in this annual event on select fall sailings. Here are which cruise lines offer special Oktoberfest-themed sailings, plus some helpful tips to keep in mind.

    Cruising is often thought of as an easy way to sample a smorgasbord of destinations and cultures in a single trip. Cruise often enough, though, and you'll discover there are ports you long to visit over and over. We put together a list of these "super ports" across the globe that are easy to reach because they are serviced by multiple cruise lines and have more to see and do than you can squeeze into a single cruise.

    You've decided you want a vacation, but there's a problem -- you don't have a passport. Maybe you've never had the time, money or desire to travel abroad previously, or perhaps your old passport has expired. Whatever the reason, you still have choices.You can't cruise just anywhere on a closed-loop sailing, but the choices are more interesting than you might expect. We've compiled a list of seven places to visit without a passport, from scenic Alaska to the beachy Caribbean.

    With Norwegian Cruise Line's Pride of America sailing weekly inter-island cruises year round and giants like Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Princess and Celebrity also offering attractive Hawaii itineraries, there's no question that the Aloha State is a major cruise destination. The reasons are obvious: balmy weather; safe, centrally located ports of call; and shore excursions that spotlight the best of the islands' unique history, culture and scenic attractions.

    Exploring a destination on horseback is a fantastic way to connect with nature, experience more of the landscape and see your cruise port of call from a completely different perspective. Trail rides, suitable for both novice and experienced riders, will take you right off the beaten track along trails inaccessible by other forms of transport. We've saddled up to find some of the best places to head out on horseback -- and some things to look out for if you decide to go it alone.

    Situated in the far eastern corner of Europe, the Black Sea is bordered by six countries -- Turkey, Bulgaria, Georgia, Romania, Russia and the Ukraine -- and linked to the Mediterranean via the Bosphorus and Dardanelles Strait. It’s a treasure chest of sights and historical attractions that rival and equal many of those found in the neighboring and busier Mediterranean. The only thing it lacks is the crowds, as for many cruisers it is a destination waiting to be discovered.
