A source exclusively told Page Six last month that Tom, a devout Scientologist, has no part in his youngest kid’s life and has not seen her in a long time. “What has been really important for me with my daughter, because she was so visible at a young age, is I really like to protect her,” she told Glamour magazine. The mother-daughter duo was photographed at Los Angeles International Airport Monday night ahead of a flight to an unknown destination.

Viking’s expedition ships will have an enclosed area known as The Hangar, where passengers can get on and off zodiac boats in comfort and without biting winds. The Aula panoramic auditorium is custom-designed for lectures, and we can’t wait to see the Finse Terrace, an outdoor lounge with comfy couches and warming lava rock faux fire pits. As if launching MSC Seascape in 2022 wasn’t enough, MSC Cruises is dreaming even bigger with an all-new class of ship. MSC World Europa will carry 5,079 passengers (at full occupancy) and will boast 22 decks, immediately becoming the longest, tallest and largest ship in the entire fleet. The ship launches in December 2022 and is earmarked to sail in the Arabian Gulf. We take pride in our ability to bring these iconic ships to life in our model replicas.
Wonder of the Seas (Royal Caribbean International)
Viking Octantis debuts first in January 2022, with cruises in Antarctica. It will then move to the Great Lakes for the summer, before heading back to the White Continent. Viking Polaris arrives in summer 2022 and will spend its season in Norway and the Far Arctic before heading south to Antarctica. The first Project Leonardo-class cruise ship from Norwegian Cruise Line, Norwegian Prima is expected to deliver a few key elements that cruisers haven’t seen before. MSC Cruises’ MSC Seascape is one of the line’s Seaside EVO ships, with an all-new experience and spaces for guests to enjoy.

When it debuts in March 2022, the ship will offer sailings from Shanghai to Japan, before moving on to Hong Kong in November, for sailings around Vietnam, South Korea, China and Japan for the winter season. The ship will offer Caribbean sailings, including Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries departing from Miami, as well as limited transatlantic options. We’re also excited by the itineraries that Emerald Azzurra will sail, which include its debut in the Red Sea in January 2022.

But MSC Cruises has been busy these past few years and MSC Seascape isn’t the only vessel it has in the works. The cruise line also anticipates introducing MSC World Europa as a new World-class cruise ship, the first in the class, to be followed by sister ships in 2024, 2025 and 2027. The last Royal-class ship for Princess Cruises, Discovery Princess is the sixth in the class and the third designed with MedallionClass in mind. To take advantage of all the newest and best features found on this ship, book a Sky Suite, which will now feature the largest balconies in the Princess fleet, at more than 1,000 square feet. River cruising in the United States has become more popular during the COVID-19 pandemic, as people look for sailings that are closer to home. American Cruise Lines, which owns its own shipyard in Maryland, has turned down other boat-building work so it can concentrate on cruise ships.

The ship will also offer MSC Cruises’ largest water park yet, with VR-enabled water slides. MSC World Europa will have several onboard “districts” divided into separate areas. An 11-deck dry slide called The Spiral will be the longest at sea, and new dining venues include Chef’s Garden Kitchen, focusing on microgreens, and La Pescaderia, a traditional seafood grill with alfresco seating. The ship will also be powered by Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) technology. MSC Cruises' second Seaside EVO class ship, MSC Seascape will debut at PortMiami in November 2022 when it launches.
MSC World Europa will embark on her maiden voyage in December of 2022 on a special 4-night voyage from Doha in Qatar to her new homeport, the ultra-modern metropolis of Dubai. Discovery Princess will offer Mexican Riviera, California coast, and Alaskan cruises. Celebrity Beyond will begin its sailings with a Western European cruise, with stops in France and Spain, before it begins its regularly scheduled Mediterranean itineraries, after which it will then sail to the Caribbean in the fall.

All guests settle into spacious suites (starting at 312 square feet) with “terraces” (balconies). Some are 700-square-foot, two-level lofts with the bedroom downstairs and living room area upstairs. Whichever type of suite you choose, a personal assistant will be at your beck and call. At 6,988 passengers, Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the Seas will become the largest cruise ship in the world when it debuts in early March 2022.
Technically, Ocean Victory is a charter by SunStone, a ship management company that has focused on building small adventure ships. The ship will have a full array of expedition gear for outdoor adventure, including zodiacs, a fleet of kayaks and an onboard expedition team. The ship is small enough to dock in Alaskan ports that are off limits to larger cruise ships. An increased focus on public rooms that connect with the sea will be showcased aboard MSC Seashore, with some 70 percent of all public spaces being completely redesigned from the ship's predecessors, MSC Seaside and MSC Seaview. But, like its fleetmates, MSC Seascape will offer some of the most distinctive features of this class, including the massive Waterfront promenade and the spectacular glass-floored "Bridge of Sighs" perched 16 decks above the water. So whether you're a collector or just looking for a unique piece of nautical decor, our model cruise ships are the perfect addition to any collection.

About 65% of the public spaces on the ship have been redesigned from previous MSC Cruises designs. In the past few years, American Cruise Lines has revamped the expectation of what riverboats on U.S. rivers should look like by introducing a more modern style of ship. These ships do not have paddlewheels; instead, the 175-passenger vessels look more like a hotel on land with a four-story glass atrium in the center of the ship. ACL ships are known for having some of the largest cabins in river cruising, with most ranging from 250 to 650 square feet.
We use the latest techniques and traditional ship painting methods to ensure that every aspect of the ship is captured to perfection. From the sleek lines of the hull to the intricate deck details, we aim to create a true-to-life representation of each vessel. Smaller cruise lines — with ships that fit hundreds rather than thousands of guests — dominated U.S. Virgin doesn’t need to grab for attention the way some of the older cruise lines do, as it’s still young enough to attract cruisers looking for a new experience without adding flashy “biggest at sea” features.
Plus you get the sumptuous suites with a built-in heated jacket wardrobe, Swarovski binoculars and the Moulton Brown amenities, upscale dining and endless Champagne that Seabourn is known for. Virgin Voyages, which launched its first cruise ship Scarlet Lady for paying passengers in 2021, is coming out with a sister ship in 2022. Chief among the changes is a re-imaging of Celebrity's wellness program, led by actress and lifestyle maven Gwyneth Paltrow (who is now also the line’s Well-Being Advisor). New suites are being added in AquaClass and The Retreat -- Celebrity's resort for suite passengers -- is 40 percent larger than on other ships. Celebrity Beyond will also have the first fine-dining restaurant at sea from Michelin-star chef Daniel Boulud.
Discovery Princess will also have most of the onboard features that debuted on sister ships Majestic Princess and Enchanted Princess, including the Salty Dog Gastropub and Sabatini’s Italian Trattoria with specialty pastas. If you want a fabulous suite experience, check out the Sky Suites, which have one of the best balconies at sea, with a direct view of Movies Under the Stars. The adults-only Quiet Cove will introduce the cruise line's first infinity pool, while grown-ups will be the only ones allowed to dine at Enchante, the line's new onboard restaurant designed by three-Michelin-starred chef Arnaud Lallement.
For an unparalleled viewing experience of the destinations during your voyage on Celebrity Solstice, head to the Lawn Club. Every effort is taken to deliver easy ship access and an unrivaled cruise vacation for our guests. Cruising has changed since the pandemic, with all cruise lines cutting back on their services, food, and other areas.
Solstice has many of the personal amenities that cruisers have come to expect from the line, while able to transport almost 3000 passengers. Each of the vessels in the Solstice class has wireless Internet connectivity, bigger staterooms with HDTVs, large bathrooms, more storage space, and plush European bedding. The Solstice-class ships also offer an extraordinary range of customer-inspired services and amenities made possible due to the liners' bigger size.
Hot Glass Demonstrations and Classes
Enclosed with floor-to-ceiling windows, it provides a quiet spot to read or take in the scenery when there are no activities. In warm weather destinations the sunset bar allows you to enjoy your drinks with those perfect wake views. The Blu Restaurant is reserved for Aqua-Class passengers and offers a menu available during breakfast and dinner.
Promenade Deck
The grand Solstice Theater is the premier live performance venue aboard Celebrity Solstice®. While accommodating a generous audience, it retains a comfortable, intimate atmosphere, bringing you production shows, beautiful musical arrangements, and sidesplitting comedy. An intriguing alcove off The Martini Bar, Crush is a cool, classy setting featuring an ice-filled table center. Chat the night away with an intimate group or a small party while experiencing exquisite Caviar and Vodka pairings. Inspired by the vineyards of Napa Valley, Cellar Masters brings to life the experience of a global wine tour while you learn about and taste a large variety of wines from around the world. A welcoming and unique on board environment, you'll discover new wines, receive recommendations and enrich your knowledge of the world of wine.
Make sure you check out the signature live tree when you use the elevators. Celebrity Solstice’s itineraries also include unforgettable transpacific sailings between Japan and North America, where you’ll spend relaxing days at sea reveling in all the luxuries onboard. Explore breathtaking destinations around the world while aboard an award-winning ship, where globally inspired cuisine, enchanting performances, and luxurious accommodations await. The cabins on Celebrity Solstice are functional, with choices for different traveling groups. One thing we missed were outlets and USB ports near the bed, now a necessity on newer cruise ships. Purists who love real walk-out balconies will be happy with the choices on Solstice; the ship does not have the infinite balcony cabins that dominate the Edge-class vessels.
You might be tempted to order something more “exotic” and you absolutely should…in addition to the chocolate cake! Maybe keep your distance from me in the MDR if you order it just to be on the safe side. In addition to the vast selection of non-frozen desserts offered on the buffet, there were also nine different flavors of hard ice cream offered each day. Sometimes the baked pastas featured peas, which my dog and I happen to love. Anyway if, like my son, you’re not a fan, there was a make-your-own-pasta bar with a variety of noodle, sauce, and topping choices. HEAVY ON THE CHEESE, HOLD THE PEAS (that would be my son’s order).
Staterooms
The comfortable seating and sweeping views drew me to this massive, gorgeous venue on deck 14 for hours each day where I would curl up with a book or listen to music. Celebrity Cruises' onboard activities, bars, lounges and clubs features the Cellar Masters wine bar and Sky Observation Lounge. With an atmosphere inspired by ice and snow, the enchanting frosted bar is the place to be in the heart of the "coolest" setting on the ship. An absolute must-visit for its hip and classy feel, swing by The Martini Bar and grab a drink before dinner or make a night of it. This bar has a vibe like no other, which makes it the perfect spot to chill out with friends all night long.
The best change Celebrity has made to the buffet is its markings of foods with certain ingredients. Since Karen is celiac, knowing which items were gluten-free was nice.

He also put on a bit of a show as he prepared the flight, but because I started drinking as soon as the bar opened at 4pm, I was the only one there to observe it, so it was a little awkward. Our accessible staterooms are designed with wider doors, roll-in showers, grab bars, and other special features for guests with mobility issues and other disabilities. With an overwhelming world of choices, we understand you may need some personal assistance to plan your perfect vacation.
One of the best parts of an inside cabin is that there is no outside light to disturb your sleep. To counter the total darkness, we brought 2 LED night lights to make the trip to the bathroom during the night easier. While Celebrity invited us to bid on an upgrade, and we initially did, we canceled the bids because we wanted to review an inside stateroom.
The perfect place to enjoy a casual meal for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Set in a casually chic environment, the buffet features an impressive variety of tasty international dishes, including Mexican, Asian, and European fare. Oceanview Bar provides any number of beverages to be enjoyed in a beautiful outdoor venue. Serving as the specialty dining restaurant for AquaClass® guests, the menu features wonderful choices of fresh and delicious cuisine, to be enjoyed in an intimately relaxing atmosphere. The main specialty restaurants onboard provide Italian (Tuscan Grill); French (Murano) and Japanese (Sushi on 5) options.
Towering glaciers, humpback whales swimming alongside your cruise ship and the expanse of America’s final frontier stretching out before you—that’s what you can expect from a Alaska cruise. Celebrity Solstice itinerary program is based on 7-day roundtrips to Alaska from Seattle WA during summer. During the rest of the year, the ship sails on South Pacific Islands, Australia and NZ cruises from Auckland and Sydney. The Solstice also visits Hawaii on repositioning crossings between Alaska and Australia.
Sample tequila while learning about the drink’s history from a local expert, and indulge your taste buds with tacos and fajitas. Or let loose with your loved ones during a mariachi performance, and dance to the lively tune of violins and guitars. On a cruise to Mexico with Princess, activities lie around every corner.
2024 Mexico Cruises
Visit the Riviera Center, a former hotel and casino with beautiful architecture and a charming garden. Dive into the ocean near Todos Santos Island, where you can witness stunning underwater formations. Explore the Guadalupe Valley while on an off-road adventure or during a bucolic stroll through its vineyards. When you search for Baja cruise inspiration, one place you always end up traveling to is Cabo San Lucas. Taking a Cabo trip to the tip of the Baja Peninsula isn't complete without a visit to El Arco, or "The Arches" in English. Enjoy a boat ride or stand-up paddleboard excursion around and underneath these arches, whose muted, sanded surfaces contrast almost hypnotizingly with the electric shades of blue water lapping at their bases.
THINKING ABOUT BAJA MEXICO?
If you’re longing for a vacation that’s equal parts beautiful scenery, rich culture and thrills the whole family will love, nothing beats Mexico cruises from Los Angeles. Bordered by the Pacific, the Mexican Riviera checks all the boxes — great cuisine, quaint historic towns, top-rated beaches and even a wine country that rivals Napa. What’s more, you’ll have just as much to look forward to in between shoreside discoveries as you sail onboard the Amplified fleet-favorite, Navigator of the Seas®.
Things to Do in Cabo San Lucas
This distinctive rock formation juts out of the water and reaches almost three stories high. Aside from being a popular photographic background, this natural attraction also marks the spot where the Pacific Ocean merges with the Sea of Cortez. Experience the country’s unique character the second you step on the ship with traditional Mexican cuisine, events and activities. Follow our social media and blog for the latest cruise and travel news, including our best vacation deals. A staple of the Sonoran cuisine popular in northern Mexico, machaca guisada is a stew that spotlights spiced beef or donkey. The meet is dried like jerky, pounded and simmered in spiced liquid until it’s tender again.
Though visitors between January and mid-March will be treated to peak whale migration season, while summer offers sunny beach days and prime surf conditions. And if you’re looking to venture away from the beaches, the rugged mountainsides and canyons make for some eye-opening hikes. Whether you prefer getting physical or unwinding and soak up some rays, dining, going for a drink or expanding your horizons, you really can have it all on a Mexican Riviera cruise. When you travel to Mexico, one of the best ways to enjoy the country is by immersion.
Cruises to Baja Mexico
When we say that Carnival Miracle takes you to another world, we mean that in every sense. Not only does this ship visit stunning destinations, but features incredible onboard spaces inspired by elements of fantasy. Escape from reality as you take in a show at the Phantom Lounge or a dance at Dr. Frankenstein's Lab. To lose yourself in a song, find your way to Sam's Piano Bar. You'll find great food all over the place, from the casual fare of Horatio's to the artful eats of the Bacchus and Ariadne dining rooms...

3 Million Carnival Cruise Passengers to Visit Mexico in 2023.
Cruise to Baja Mexico for some south-of-the-border flavor with a coastal twist. Don’t be confused — the Baja California peninsula is actually in Mexico, and cruises to Mexico are a great way to explore this area. Getting there’s a snap, because it’s just south of California (California, USA, that is) and it’s all just a short trip when you cruise from Los Angeles. While the region features a geography not unlike SoCal, it’s a different world… one that attracts American expats, and especially retirees, who call coastal resort towns like Ensenada their home. Cruise to Baja Mexico and enjoy Ensenada’s beaches before hitting the fashionable shops of Avenida Primera for new jewelry… duty-free, of course. During our day in port, we chose to explore the town on our own.
Below you’ll find some helpful tips for cruising and some of our favorite moments on our 3-Day Baja, Mexico cruise from long beach to Ensenada. Big names aren't all there is to know about Carnival Radiance. Plus the adults have plenty of spots for a drink, like the fan-favorite Alchemy Bar™ and Heroes Tribute™ Bar, which refreshes everyone while paying tribute to men and women of the military.

It’s your cruise ship bible and we carried it with us and constantly referred to it throughout the day and evening. There is so much to do on the Carnival cruise and with a three-day cruise, we found we spent very little time in our room and preferred lounging at the pool to the stateroom. To enter the terminal, you’ll need to provide a boarding pass and a passport because it’s an international cruise. My husband, son, and I sailed with Carnival for this 3 Day Baja Mexico cruise from Long Beach.
From Ensenada to Puerto Vallarta to Cabo, each city has its own distinct food scene well worth exploring. And Baja is rich in arts and culture, whether galleries or some street murals are more your scene. As for the great outdoors, warm days and breezy nights make it a perfect place to get away year-round.
Recognized by UNESCO for its cultural heritage and preservation of culinary technique, Mexican and Spanish cuisine is a big part of the region’s culture. Sample the bold flavors and creative combinations for yourself on a cruise to Mexico with Princess. In many of our dining rooms, enjoy Mexican-themed dishes — like ceviche, fajitas and coconut cocadas — for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Regal Princess is based in Galveston on a seasonal basis from November to March. It operates some of the longest sailings from the Texas port, including 10- and 11-night trips to Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, Honduras, Belize and Mexico.

New cruise terminal in Galveston means more options for travelers.
For most people, the option is to fly into one of Houston’s two airports. The city is served by Houston Hobby (HOU) and Bush-Intercontinental (IAH). That makes it even more confusing for cruisers who aren’t familiar with the area or the airports to decide which one they should fly into.

Galveston’s cruises take you to a world where every port has a story to tell.
