Select a destination area for your cruise. Different cruise operators run in different areas, though most offer some sort of dolphin experience. Look for a location that seems interesting to you and choose an operator once you find a place you like. If you're taking a trip with your family, for example, some cruises offer trips to Disney World or on-ship play areas for kids. If you're planning a romantic journey for two, look for a cruise that features top-shelf amenities or an all-night party atmosphere. The right cruise environment is critical to your enjoyment of everything surrounding your dolphin adventure.
Explore the webpages of each cruise operator for your determined cruise destination. Information about the types of dolphin experiences available will be available on each site; for example, Carnival Cruises offers a dolphin swim on their Cozumel line, while Royal Caribbean has one on their line to Malta. Look for the "Experiences" or "Excursions" section on each website and read through the listing of available experiences for your chosen destination. You can compare dolphin swims by looking at their additional cost, the amount of swim time allotted per guest and whether the swim is child-friendly or only for adults.
Reserve your cruise via the site’s online reservation system or by speaking with a phone representative.
Reserve a spot on the dolphin excursion as soon as your cruise reservations are confirmed. You can set up excursions on cruise websites and over the phone, which helps prevent you from missing a popular activity because it filled up.
