Most of the ideas for articles about cruises come from people who frequent my web sites often and send me either an email or a message through my contacts page. What surprised me a bit was how all of a sudden several people sent in questions that want to know about cheap cruises from California. I must say that besides writing articles about cruises from California being a great idea I am also embarrassed that I have not done any before. Since there is such a tremendous amount of interest in Caribbean and Mediterranean cruises, it just never occurred to me that I am missing a huge segment of cruise itineraries.
When it comes to cruises from California have several options to consider. First, Californian ports of Call include San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco. There are other small ports of embarkation up and down the Golden State which serve some fantastic niche markets but for this article to appeal to major cruise lines let’s just stick with the three most significant ports of call. The most popular cheap cruises from California are cruises to Alaska, Hawaii and Mexico, most generally the Mexican Riviera. Far and away the most popular of the three is cruises to Alaska and the great news is that there are many of the major cruise lines who serve up a wide variety of itineraries that meet a varied demographic. A cruise to Alaska is the most common destination for those passengers that are cruising for the first time so therefore my advice is that you focus and the mainstream cruise operators like Carnival, Disney and Regent Seven Seas. They do a fantastic job and are the most accommodating for first time cruisers. Make sure to call the cruise lines directly in order to get the best rates.
