Round-trip cruises from North America to anywhere but especially to South America or Europe are a rare but awesome way to see the world without the stress of international flights or complicated travel plans.

Instead of booking one-way airfare or figuring out how to get back home from another country, you just hop on the ship, explore amazing places, and return to the same port you started from. These cruises usually leave from East or West Coast and take you to unforgettable spots—think vibrant cities in Brazil, the fjords of Chile, or historic ports in Spain and Portugal.

You get plenty of time to relax at sea, enjoy great food and entertainment, and soak up the culture along the way. It’s an easy, all-in-one adventure that lets you go far without the usual travel headaches.
