This is the view I like to see from my "cruise ship."
My idea of a vacation is to get away from the huddled masses —not be enclosed on a ship with a crowd. Just my own opinion on the matter.
Every year, I tend to note various Turkish resorts trying to stay operational in the winter months. So from November to April, you can go from Germany to a five-star Turkish resort, with airfare and food included (including beverages) for around $500 for three weeks.
The thing is...you can always tack on another week for $100. So you do the math, and you sit at a five-star Turkish hotel in the winter...for two months, for around $800. That’s the five-star room, wine and beer all day, and three buffet meals a day. Frankly, you can’t beat the deal. It’s cheaper than any lifestyle you’d think of.
You could even max out...four months of this...for $1,600. Course, you need to be on retiree status to enjoy months of this.

Well then look into ‘Windjammer Cruises’
My wife and I go on several cruises a year. Our 16’ cruise ship fits nicely on top of the Jeep and sometimes we don't see another human for days.
