Golf Cruise

For the avid golfer, cruising offers a unique opportunity to experience a variety of spectacular golf courses, each in a different country or island. For example, on a standard seven-day golf cruise in the Western Caribbean , you could hit the links in Miami ; Ocho Rios , Jamaica ; Grand Cayman Island ; and Cozumel , Mexico . Alternatively, on a Bermuda cruise, you could stay right on the island and indulge yourself at a multitude of world-class golf courses.

You can combine golf with a cruise on both small ships and big ones. There are also golf cruises that can be combined with team-building and corporate meetings if you charter a whole vessel.

With typical golf cruises the ship provides instruction videos about golf and includes greens fees and cart rentals at courses along the way. A golf pro accompanies the cruise, discussing technique, giving swing demonstrations and giving individual analysis and pointers, and a caddy cleans clubs, and has them waiting at the next port ready for play, and arranges tee times, pairings and transfers so that passengers arrive at each port finding their bags on the cart, ready to go. What sounds better than that?

Here is a list of things to look for when booking golf cruises:

•  Onboard golf pro offering instruction to help you improve your game both onboard and on scheduled courses

•  Onboard storage or your clubs

•  Greens fees included for scheduled rounds of golf

•  Power-drive carts (when available),caddies or pull carts

•  Gratuities for caddies and golf bag handlers included

•  All transfers between the ship and the courses

•  Afternoon meals when playing golf

•  Bottled water plus refreshments at the "19 hole"

•  English speaking guides

•  Golf competitions and prizes

Now all you have to do is select the cruise line and destinations that fits your interests and budget and you are all set for the perfect vacation!
