If you've been saving every penny, clipping every article, and dreaming every night about an exotic dream cruise, this is the chapter for you. Outside of the traditional cruising grounds in the Caribbean and Mediterranean, and far beyond the shores of even far-flung coastlines in Asia and Africa, there is a big and exciting world to explore—some of it without ever stepping ashore. Perhaps a transatlantic crossing is your dream vacation, or a stop in Fiji, or a cruise through the Indian Ocean. It's all available if you're willing to think “exotic” as you plan your cruise vacation.
