Royal Caribbean has been around since 1969 and currently operates 22 ships. The line is perhaps best known for having some of the largest passenger ships in the world (142,000 tons); these are the ships with rock-climbing, ice-skating, and in-line skating facilities; Johnny Rockets diners; promenade shopping malls; and more. ABS Travel Group has worked with Royal Caribbean for 10 years now and we have been more than happy with their service every time. They really do live up to their “WOW” trademark. |

What began as the little cruise line that could, operating one small luxury liner between Los Angeles and the Mexican Riviera (and later Alaska) in 1965, evolved into a cruise industry giant, with 14 ships sailing on more than 150 global itineraries ranging from seven to 72 days. Princess now ranks as one of the top mass-market cruise lines, with a reputation for being a force for change in the industry. Princess features a well-maintained fleet that ranges from the mega-sized “post Panamax” ships—so-named for being too wide to fit through the Panama Canal—to more intimate, 680-passenger vessels. In 2007, Princess debuted its newest ship - the 116,000 ton Caribbean Princess 3. |

Holland America Line is arguably the most historic (its first ship sailed in 1873) and tradition-laden cruise lines on the seas today. The line, however, is keeping up with the times: Its "Signature of Excellence" initiative has spent millions to enhance the entire fleet's guest accommodations, public rooms, dining, service, and enrichment programs. A defining feature of Holland America's onboard ambience is that, despite the individual decorating themes on its artistic, colorful ships, there's a pleasant consistency throughout the fleet. Traditions such as afternoon tea, on-ship tennis courts, even a quaint chime to announce dinner, are identical from ship to ship |

CLIA is composed of 24 of the major cruise lines serving North America and is an organization that operates pursuant to an agreement filed with the Federal Maritime Commission under the Shipping Act of 1984 and serves as a non-governmental consultative organization to the International Maritime Organization, an agency of the United Nations.
CLIA was formed in 1975 in response to a need for an association to promote the special benefits of cruising and in 2006 merged with the International Council of Cruise Lines (ICCL), a sister entity created in 1990 dedicated to participating in the regulatory and policy development process of the cruise industry. CLIA exists to promote all measures that foster a safe, secure and healthy cruise ship environment. They pledge to educate and train their travel agent members, and promote and explain the value, desirability and affordability of the cruise vacation experience.
