Cruises as Muses for Your Modern Art Seeing the ordinary and creating beauty is one of the true talents of an artist. There are also other ways to gain different, newer perspectives – travelling on a cruise liner. Taking cruise holidays can be an excellent method to learn about multiple types of culture while developing an eye for incorporating some of the best aspects of local artistry into your work. In fact, many of the cruise liners can offer extraordinary inspiration, not just from the exotic destinations, but from the cruise liners themselves.

NCL Cruises Travelling the world aboard an NCL is definitely a great way to cruise. While stationed in the United States, they go to many beautiful ports of call, all of which are worth checking out.
Princess Cruises This cruise liner is owned by British and American with their main headquarters in California. One of their earlier ships The Italia, was designed by Romano Boico and Gustavo Finali, world-class ship designers. If you have ever seen the TV show, The Love Boat, you may have seen either the Pacific or Island Princess cruise liners – both stunningly beautiful. If you are seeking inspiration, then you only need to just look around because every detail has been artfully considered. Also any cruise you take on the Princess will offer incredible inspiration, but not just the décor, but the destinations as well. Each port of call is carefully chosen to ensure your visit is just as memorable with plenty of activities, shopping and touring each fascinating spot.
Royal Caribbean Cruises Each cruise liner showcases impeccable details and stunning works of art throughout the ship. From the chandeliers to the drapery to the wood floors, every detail is considered. One way to really get inspired is to imagine how it was created – from the first creation of the idea to the lavished details. By thinking of both the technical and artistry of the designs, could really get your creative juices flowing. If that’s not enough, make sure you take time to go up to the Viking Crown Lounge that can be found on all Royal Caribbean cruises. You will feel on top of the world when surrounded by these breathtaking panoramic views, especially during sunrises and sunsets.
Seabourn Cruises Each member of staff is carefully handpicked and thoroughly trained to offer you the best customer service, while some places tend to go overboard with providing too much customer care that you feel suffocated and a lack of privacy. However, Seabourne trains them to anticipate your needs, but in a very non-intrusive way – actually quite intuitive. It really is a pleasant experience, especially while dining and you never have to wait or request more drinks or the menu, yet feel you’re having an intimate dinner with those you love. Popular Destinations Caribbean cruises are probably the most travelled of all the cruise destinations due to its incredible year round warm weather offering spectacular panoramic vistas from sunrise to late in the wee hours. The Caribbean Sea beckons many travellers from all over the world because their beaches are truly magnificent with soft powdery sands and crystal waters that just seem to peacefully cascade back and forth along the coastline. The art is the islands themselves. The beauty of the sunsets with dazzling reds, oranges and various shades of purple; the music puts you in a relaxed state of mind as the steel drums plays background to the soft waves along the beach. The smells of Caribbean food colourfully and artfully displayed are irresistible. It’s no wonder why these islands are so popular!
Med Cruises And of course there are always authentic, mouthwatering dishes that can please any palette and the food becomes the art. Most restaurants serve Greek, Mediterranean, Italian as well as other types of international cuisines. There is also plenty to do such as snorkeling, parasailing, hiking, island hopping or just taking it easy along the many beaches. Whatever you choose, be sure to take it all in. There is no need to rush and you will be able to relive these moments over and over through your memories and maybe through your art.
