"America on the Cruise"


I have been blessed to have some awesome friends who are also cruise enthusiasts like me (I know many of you have them too)! My good friend Wendy La went on a cool adventure to Washington D.C. a couple weeks ago, and ran into a cruise ship... well an exhibit with many of them! She was very generous and allowed me to share her pictures with ya! 

At the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History there is an "On the Water" exhibit that features cruising and the cruise line industry giants! From Fun-Ship Freddy to the Holland America Vista-Class vessels, this exhibit gives the novice and seasoned cruiser alike an extensive overview of the ocean-going travel industry!

You should make your way to the nation's capital to visit this cool exhibit to see these awesome artifacts in person! Get more information here! Enjoy the photos below; bon voyage, your shop awaits!

Cruise + Fun = [insert your word here]!

A detailed explanation of how ships went from the "transportation age," to the "vacation age!"

Here, you can see a number of cruise lines that dominate the industry (Carnival, RCI, and NCL just to name few)! I see Freddie the "Fun-Ship!" Do you see any of your favorites?
