One of the best things about planning world travel is the imagination it sparks in us. We are always challenging ourselves to think outside the box and to look for opportunities to experience a different type of journey. Today we’re going to tell you about 10 of the best cruises that are very unique and not your typical cruise that most people take. It is a wide variety of cruises that include Oceania cruises, Viking cruises, Seabourne cruises, Nile River cruises, Coral Sea expedition cruises, American cruises and a cruise on a container ship called the Aranui.

Some of these cruises we’ve heard about from fellow travelers and some we’ve come across in our own research, but our purpose today is to spark YOUR imagination so you can include some of these in your world travels or your plans for retirement travel.

We might never get to do them all, but they are certainly on our bucket list, so, let’s get started.

Why you should consider taking a unique, bucket list worthy cruise in retirement.

Embarking on a unique cruise offers an unparalleled travel experience in retirement that goes beyond traditional vacations. Unlike conventional trips, a cruise allows you to explore multiple destinations without the hassle of frequent packing and unpacking, and waking up in a new port each day becomes an adventure in itself. Whether it's navigating the pristine waters of the Norwegian fjords, cruising through the historical rivers of Europe, or exploring the exotic islands of the Galápagos, each itinerary provides a distinct perspective and access to remote locations that are often difficult to reach by other means. Cruises also cater to diverse interests, with specialized themes such as culinary cruises, adventure cruises, and cultural immersion cruises, ensuring there's something for every traveler. Moreover, the onboard amenities—from luxurious spas and fine dining to entertainment and educational programs—make the journey as memorable as the destinations. This combination of seamless travel, unique experiences, and all-inclusive convenience makes cruising a compelling option for those seeking an extraordinary and enriching way to see the world. We hope our list of top 10 unique cruises inspire you to try something new. Let us know which of these, or others, that you you try.

    I think you need to have a warning at the beginning of your videos saying, "Warning. Watching this video may increase your wanderlust." 😁 Thank you for sharing. These are some great ideas. A cruise that is on our bucket list is to go through the Panama Canal. Safe travels!
  • For folks considering the Am Revolution cruise, consider reading, The Barbarous Years: The Peopling of British North America--the Conflict of Civilizations: 1600-1675. I'm surprised 2 others missed your list. Both are working ferries: the Alaska Marine Highway System, and the Norway Coastal Ferry. With either one is able to plan shore stays and excursions, then catch a subsequent ferry.

    I did the Viking Rhine River Christmas Cruise last December. My advice, book the lower level cabin (below the water line). The sun sets around 4:30 pm each day, and because it’s December, you won’t have beautiful green scenery to bask in. It’s usually getting dark when you return from excursions and when you depart, too. We loved it though.
  • So looking forward to your video on the African cruise. It’s been on my bucket list for a while, but it’s a bit of a chunk of money so I’ve been rather cautious. Will enjoy hearing your “review.”

    Please consider a footsteps of Apostle Paul cruise in the bucket list. Keep calm and travel on.
  • Just found your channel, great information just what I like,many thanks 🙏

    Hey J&B, you're talking some big money on some of those cruises, but they do look fantastic. We did part of the Amazon river in 2008, from Manaus up to Tefe' on one of the many local Amazon river boats where you get to sleep in a hammock onboard for 3 nights, not expensive but basic. A incredible place to visit. We were much younger then and out for adventure. Happy travels.

    I’m so excited to see you are going to get dive certified! My husband and I are both 70, and still dive. We’ve both been divers for more than 40 years, but still dive every year. We mostly do warm water diving in the Caribbean, as gearing up for our cold New England waters is not something we choose to do any more.😂 Snorkeling is fabulous, but getting down to 60 to 90 feet, is a whole other experience. We have never considered a cruise but these are not the standard cruisers cruise and may be worth looking into. Thank you for all you share !!
  • Great choices. Will check a few out. I have heard people complain about the Nile cruises. The cruises themselves and the sites you see are great. But the minute you get off the boat you’re aggressively besieged at the marketplace.

    To build on the Christmas Cruise, we did the Budapest to Amsterdam Grand European tour during the season. So we visited the Vienna Christmas market as well as others, 14 in all. A wonderful experience
  • @gyrokyro
