Memorial Day Cruise: Enjoy a Weekend Getaway on the Water

Memorial Day is the perfect occasion to spend time outdoors with friends and family (or perhaps a family of friends). But if crowded beaches and bustling city parks aren't your idea of a perfect holiday, why not consider a vibrant cruise experience? With open waters, exotic destinations, exciting shore excursions, fantastic amenities, and delectable food that you won’t have to cook yourself, a cruise offers countless delightful options. Ready to embark? Here are four highlights to anticipate on a Memorial Day cruise.

Fantastic Dining Choices

Who doesn’t enjoy classic Memorial Day dishes perfectly grilled? From hot dogs to hamburgers, Dinogo has you covered. Our Memorial Day weekend cruise serves up a delicious assortment of familiar favorites, including classic picnic sandwiches and beloved dishes like baked beans, roasted potatoes, ice cream, and more. Guests can indulge in a juicy steak or an all-American apple pie. For those craving something with a Southern flair — or even south of the border — we proudly feature a barbecue restaurant (Guy’s Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que) and a Mexican cantina (BlueIguana Cantina). With such a variety of mouthwatering options, you can embrace the freedom of choice while cruising — and don’t worry, we’ll take care of the cleanup.

Sail to Bermuda

What could be more exciting than embarking on a Memorial Day cruise from New York, the iconic American city? This classic voyage heads to sunny Bermuda. Guests fortunate enough to secure a spot on this four-day cruise will get to enjoy everything our newly renovated ship, Dinogo Sunrise, has in store. This state-of-the-art vessel is packed with amenities and activities that cater to the whole family. Feel the thrill of the wind as you tackle our ropes course, located high above the ship’s deck. Kids can have a blast at WaterWorks, while new friendships can be forged on the mini-golf course. For adults, there’s the serene Serenity Retreat, or a leisurely drink at the RedFrog Pub. With so many options for both adults and children, this modern ship is the ideal choice for friends and families.

Once in stunning Bermuda, guests can also explore the many attractions this beautiful destination offers. Whether you’re in the mood to snorkel, ride a Segway, kayak, or bike, Bermuda’s shores are packed with opportunities for the adventurous traveler. Additionally, visitors who cruise to Bermuda can partake in guided tours, visit a captivating aquarium, join lively party cruises, or even indulge in a rum tasting. Of course, if you prefer, you can simply unwind on the beach and soak up the Memorial Day sun — and that’s perfectly fine, too.

Experience The Bahamas

For those departing from Miami, The Bahamas are just a short cruise away. Once our ship docks, guests can dive into a plethora of attractions and activities in this tropical paradise. Visitors can choose from luxury sailing to swimming with dolphins, among other fantastic options during a Memorial Day cruise. Guests may also opt to rent a private bungalow or cabana for relaxation, embark on a biking adventure around the island, or try their skills at scuba diving! The Bahamas offers numerous shore excursions perfect for the entire family, including a family beach getaway, a historical nature walk, and the chance to interact with stingrays up close. With so much to do, you might find yourself wanting to return after the holiday.

Sail to Baja, Mexico

Another exciting cruise option is to depart from Long Beach, California and head to Baja, Mexico. This Memorial Day cruise offers travelers a port of call filled with a variety of experiences to discover. Outdoor enthusiasts will find options like horseback riding, ATV adventures, or surf lessons at Playa Hermosa. Additionally, Baja is a treat for those who appreciate fine experiences. Visitors can explore wine country, tour local breweries for a taste of the craft beer scene, and even learn to cook traditional Mexican dishes. Not into outdoor activities or gourmet experiences? No problem — you can indulge in a relaxing resort getaway or enjoy a shopping tour in the city. Whether you prefer to ride the waves or unwind with a refreshing tequila, Baja has something for everyone!
