Small Agency Encourages Travelers to Match Cruise Lines to Personal Travel Style Before Booking
INDIANAPOLIS, IN / ACCESS Newswire / July 8, 2025 / With cruise travel back in full swing and new travelers setting sail every week, Kavya Travel is raising awareness about the importance of choosing the right cruise line-especially for first-time cruisers.
"Not all cruise lines are the same," said a spokesperson from Kavya Travel. "Picking the wrong one for your travel style can turn a dream vacation into a stressful experience. A few smart questions can save people time, money, and frustration."
The guidance comes on the heels of a recent article titled "The Top Cruise Lines for First-Time Travelers (And How to Pick One)," in which the agency outlined key differences between top cruise brands like Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Disney, and Celebrity.
According to a 2023 Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) report, over 31.5 million people are expected to cruise this year, with more than 20% of passengers cruising for the first time. Yet many of those new to cruising end up overwhelmed by too many choices or misled by flashy promotions.
"We once helped a couple switch cruise lines at the last minute," a Kavya Travel advisor shared. "They originally booked a quiet anniversary cruise on a ship known for families and loud pool parties. We got them on Celebrity instead-it changed everything. They came back glowing."
Kavya Travel's team says many travelers don't realize how different ships can feel. Some are great for families with kids. Others are designed for relaxation, adult-only areas, or nonstop activity.
"You wouldn't wear hiking boots to the beach," another advisor joked. "Don't book a ship that doesn't fit your trip."
The agency encourages first-time cruisers to ask the following before booking:
Who am I traveling with? (Solo, couple, family, multigenerational group)
Do I want structure or flexibility?
Is food or entertainment more important to me?
Do I need kids' programs or quiet lounges?
Am I looking for budget-friendly or more upscale comfort?
How Travelers Can Choose Better on Their Own
Kavya Travel recommends simple steps any traveler can take-whether or not they use an agent:
Read about cruise line personalities-don't just compare prices
Watch video tours of ships to see if they match your energy
Make a list of "must-haves" (quiet cabins, kids' club, spa, etc.)
Stick with shorter cruises (4-7 days) for your first trip
Ask questions before paying-not after it's too late to switch
"Cruising can be amazing," the Kavya Travel team says. "But it's not one-size-fits-all. Matching the ship to the traveler is everything."
For first-time cruisers looking to book with confidence, or travelers unsure where to begin, Kavya Travel offers real-time, real-human help to make sure the first cruise won't be the last.
