55 Fantastic Cruise Quotes for Instagram

Last updated on November 4th, 2024 at 07:24 pm

I’ve got 55 fantastic cruise quotes for you in this post!

We went on our first cruise last summer – a Western Mediterranean cruise with Royal Caribbean. We had such a great time that we’ve already booked another one for our next summer vacation (this time to Scandinavia). I wasn’t sure I’d be a fan but I’m now firmly of the belief that cruises make the perfect holiday choice for families with teens and tweens. There’s so much to do for every age range and every set of interests. Plus you get to visit a new place pretty much every day. I’m a cruise convert!

It was clear on our trip that there were lots of families who were regular cruisegoers. It made me wonder if there were any fantastic quotes about cruising out there. I’ve found some great cruise quotes which I hope you’ll enjoy – plus there are some cruising captions for Instagram at the end of this post too. They’ll definitely make you want to book that cruise!
