Guests on Mariner of the Seas experience one of the most exciting cruise ships ever built. With a total length of 1,020 feet, a weight of 138,000 tons and a capacity to hold 3,114 passengers, Mariner of the Seas has something for everyone.

Highlights of this cruise include:

Galveston, Texas
Galveston Island is Texas' top historic destination, offering 32 miles of relaxing beaches, great seafood, tropical scenery, superb restaurants, marvelous downtown shopping, breathtaking Victorian architecture, numerous antique stores, incredible art galleries, plus tons of attractions, entertainment venues and world-class sportfishing.

Nassau, Bahamas
For a city now known for its warming sun and balmy breezes, Nassau has a tumultuous past. First settled by the English, the area was contested by England, France and Spain. For many years, Nassau was a home base for notorious pirates, and it was burned to the ground by the Spanish on three separate occasions. Since 1740, however, visitors from all over the world in search of both relaxation and adventure have made Nassau their favourite destination.

Funchal (Madeira), Portugal
The island of Madeira is located in the Atlantic Ocean about 370 miles off the coast of Morocco. For over 100 years tourists have enjoyed its rugged volcanic peaks, beautiful tropical coastline and a climate that's never too hot or cold. Madeira lace and Madeira wine are both still produced here in the Old World tradition. Many hidden valleys, peaks and botanical gardens are just waiting to be explored.

Gibraltar
Located at the southernmost tip of Europe, the Rock of Gibraltar is literally between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Its unique location has played a pivotal role in history, as countries fought for control over this busy seaport.

Alicante, Spain
Alicante is located on the eastern coast of Spain known as the Costa Blanca, the White Coast. Blessed with white-sand beaches and rugged mountain ranges, as well as thriving nightlife and a cosmopolitan feel, it's become quite a popular holiday spot. And it's easy to see why. From museums and castles to water sports and sunbathing, Alicante is packed with things to do and offers something for everyone.

Barcelona, Spain
Barcelona is located in the northeastern part of the country, 90 miles south of the French border. People from all around the world enjoy visiting this city for its individuality, cultural interest and physical beauty. When Hans Christian Andersen visited in 1862, he remarked that Barcelona was the 'Paris of Spain'. You're likely to agree. The city is a major cultural centre with a fascinating history. Archives, libraries, museums and buildings of interest - plus superb examples of modernist and Art Nouveau decor and architecture - can be found all over the city.

Alexandria, Egypt
Founded by its namesake, Alexander the Great, in 332 B.C., Alexandria has been home to many historical figures, including Cleopatra, Mark Antony, Julius Caesar and Euclid. Today the city has a distinctly Mediterranean feel, perhaps a leftover of its ancient Roman connection. The charming seaside promenade, colonial buildings and wide avenues make it an exotic, romantic destination.

Suez Canal (Passage)
At it's opening in 1869, the Suez Canal was the first saltwater passage between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea. Without it, a cargo ship sailing from Italy to Singapore would have to go around the southern tip of Africa, doubling the travel time and distance. The canal is 103 miles long and about 8% of the world's sea trade goes through it. Bordered by long lines of golden sand, the voyage down is both majestic and peaceful. The width of the canal is just over 274 m (300 yds) across, which is just enough space for your ship to get you from one exciting destination to the next!

Safaga, Egypt
Once a tidy merchant port on the coast of the Red Sea, in recent years Safaga has developed into an attractive and popular resort town known for water sports, relaxation and rejuvenation. Sun lovers and sportsmen are attracted to its magnificent bay, islands and beautiful beaches. It has also become one of the most popular therapeutic destinations in the region due to the restorative and curative powers of its mineral and saline rich springs and sea water, and an amazingly pure atmosphere. Nightlife consists of a good meal at a local restaurant, catching a sunset and maybe an impromptu beach party organised by local divers and surfers.

Aqaba, Jordan
Aqaba is a thoroughly modern and energetic resort town with a few glimpses into Middle Eastern antiquity. Visit the sandy beaches of the Gulf of Aqaba, along the Red Sea, and you're likely to encounter a fascinating mix of revellers: scores of bikinis and tanned muscles, with the occasional local in more traditional and modest Muslim garb. Explore this port city enough, and you'll find touches of the old, sleepy fishing town Aqaba once was existing harmoniously with 5-star hotels and modern shopping and dining destinations.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Believe everything you've heard about Dubai - it truly is that incredible. Honestly, where else on earth can you ski both in a shopping centre and out in the desert? As one of the world's fastest growing cities, Dubai has emerged as a premier luxury travel destination, drawing visitors from all over the globe. Its dry and sunny weather, incredible shopping experiences and unique tourist attractions have helped to turn it into a bona fide hot spot where ancient and modern cultures come together.

Goa (Mormugao), India
How can you resist a place whose local motto is 'Sossegade', which translates to 'Take it Easy'? Long a favourite destination for New Age travellers seeking the transcendent good life, these days Goa is more hip than hippie. High-end restaurants and shopping complement the dreamy beach life. Goa's historical atmosphere, shaped by a fascinating mix of Portuguese and Indian influences, is unique. The Portuguese were here for 500 years, and their presence can still be felt in customs like the siesta that the Goans take every afternoon. Sossegade!

Cochin, India
One of the finest natural harbours on the Arabian coast of India, Kochi (also known as Cochin) was once known as the centre of the Indian spice trade. Nowadays, the town has a distinct European feel, due to the fact that it was once inhabited by the Portuguese, Dutch and English. Their influence on the town's forts, palaces, museums and old churches is still evident today. Which is why Kochi is known as the 'Queen of the Arabian Sea'.

Penang, Malaysia
Gorgeous beaches. Abundant culture. Rich history. Excellent food. Truly, there is more to see and experience in the 'Pearl of the Orient' than one person can possibly handle, but we still think you'll like it. One of the most multicultural cities in all of Asia, Penang is like a concentrated version of the entire continent, while at the same time it maintains an identity all of its own.

Kuala Lumpur (Port Kelang), Malaysia
Bustling Kuala Lumpur, or KL as it's known, rose up from the forbidding jungle terrain to become one of the most fascinating architectural landscapes on earth. A blend of native Malaysian, Chinese Imperial and European influences has created a city that is as breathtakingly beautiful as it is alive with culture. Replete with fine dining, a fertile arts community and plenty of nightlife, KL has earned a reputation as a must-see world destination.

Singapore
At first glance, this diamond-shaped island just off the coast of Malaysia gleams with modernism and commercialism, making it seem more Western than Eastern. But as you continue to discover the city-state, you'll uncover the eclectic mix of cultures, religions, ancient treasures and British colonial impressions that give rise to a unique Singaporean identity. The cultural fusion is perhaps best expressed in Singapore's unofficial language, Singlish, a unique patois of English, Chinese and Malay.
