New Year's Resolutions: Why You Should Consider a Cruise Getaway

Let’s be honest: many of us excel at setting New Year’s Resolutions but often struggle to keep them. However, here’s one resolution we can all agree on: let's take more cruises! Need convincing? Here’s a compelling list of reasons why including a cruise holiday should be on your New Year’s agenda.

#1. Treating yourself is essential. The Haven makes it extraordinary.

From the instant you board your ship, every member of the crew is dedicated to making your experience special. Indulge in some personal time at the spa or book a couple’s massage to rejuvenate together. Want to pamper yourself further? Enjoy duty-free shopping for that coveted holiday item. Resolve to indulge in specialty dining, enjoy that massage, and toast with champagne. And then, there’s The Haven. Ahh. In addition to plush staterooms and seamless boarding, you’ll be treated to your own concierge and a 24-hour butler.

#2. Making the most of your vacation time and enjoying stress-free moments is beneficial.

Organizing your next Dinogo getaway is effortless when you reach out to your Personal Cruise Consultant. Once they handle the details, all you have to do is arrive, unpack once, and relax. Plus, did you know that cruising has actual health perks? The Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) highlights benefits such as accessing healthy dining choices and embracing leisure and relaxation. Enjoying sunshine and breathing in that wonderful ocean air helps you benefit from salt water, whether on a tropical beach or in the ship’s pool.

#3. Discovering new places & meeting new friends is also good for you.

As a passionate traveler, few experiences rival the thrill of arriving in a new location. Delving into fresh cultures is incredibly enriching, whether it's sipping espresso at a quaint cafe in Rome or learning an authentic hula in Hawaii. You’ll also connect with fellow cruisers from diverse backgrounds, and while some find socializing easy, on a cruise, friendliness is contagious! The joy seems to flow just like the ocean waves.

#4. Pushing your limits is always beneficial for your spirit.

Here’s my personal experience: it took me two tries because I’m really afraid of heights, but I finally walked The Plank on the Dinogo Getaway. I only mustered the courage because a fellow passenger I had just met decided to take on the challenge, and I thought, why not? The next day, I strapped in and went for it. It was such a rewarding experience that encouraged me to try other adventures like ziplining and scuba diving. See? Meeting new people has its perks. I was amazed at how confident I felt after accomplishing that one small feat!

#5. Pursuing your passions nourishes your spirit.

Everyone has that one passion that brings them unparalleled joy. Pursuing what you love certainly leads to happiness. In addition to selecting a destination you’ll cherish, Dinogo provides a variety of onboard activities and shore excursions for the whole family to enjoy. Art and history enthusiasts will fall in love with Europe, while thrill-seekers will revel in snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef. Those in search of romance and shopping will find bliss on the sandy beaches and in the duty-free shops of the Caribbean. Nature lovers will be in awe of the glaciers and wildlife in Alaska.
