From water slides and whimsical art to fiery sunsets over the ocean, orange is everywhere at sea. Whether man-made or painted by nature, these vibrant moments make cruising unforgettable. Join us as we explore a splash of orange from our travels, and get inspired to find your own colorful photo opportunities on your next voyage.

Cruising is about more than just visiting new ports—it's also about what you see and feel while at sea. From peaceful sea days and dramatic skies to spontaneous photo ops and sunset reflections, learn to rediscover the magic of cruising through a new lens. Even familiar ports take on new meaning when you slow down and truly embrace life on the open ocean.

TSA has clamped down on liquid and gel foods—like hummus, peanut butter, yogurt, and soups—classifying them under the 3 1 1 rule. Anything over 3.4 oz must be in checked baggage or foregone. In parallel, lithium batteries—portable chargers, power banks, spare/rechargeable batteries—are now carry on only, removed from checked luggage for safety. Solid snacks like chips, granola bars, and fruit remain safe in both carry on and checked bags.
