Catamaran Cruises Around the World: 15 to Book

621 tours  ·  from $10 a head

A catamaran buys three things a monohull cannot: a deck you can walk across, a draft shallow enough to anchor over sand, and a ladder people actually use. These 15 are the sailings worth planning a day around, priced per head and honest about how long you get in the water.
