If you are looking at a new way to enjoy a city, try viewing it from a different perspective.  If you live in a cruise port city, then why not try something called a cruise to nowhere?  These mini cruises make a tour of the surrounding waters before coming right back.  Basically, you leave your cares at home while you’re off for a few fun filled days on a marvelous ship.
