Do you cover cruises in Emerging Horizons

We cover cruise ships and cruises just like we cover every other destination. We don't cover a cruise in every issue, nor do we have a specific issue devoted to cruising; however, we do try to cover the newer ships and the more popular and accessible itineraries. We also cover access at the ports of call, which is a very important aspect of cruising. We strongly suggest that cruisers research and plan their own accessible shore excursions, as generally speaking most shore excursions are not accessible. Emerging Horizons gives you the resources and tools to plan your own accessible shore excursions.
