Before we started this site, we had absolutely no idea just how many different dental CE cruises were out there. It’s amazing! Over the past year that this site has been live, we’ve seen dental cruises literally all over the world. From European river cruises, to Alaskan voyages to classic Caribbean cruises … the options are limitless!
Since cruises can be expensive, combining the cruise with a continuing education course is a great way to optimize your education spending and tax deductions. There are several companies that specialize in dental continuing education cruise vacations – Smiles at Sea, Continuing Education, Inc. and Cruise and Travel Partners, just to name a few. Or, you can search ALL dental CE cruises right here, on CompositeCE.
Search Tips for Finding Dental CE Cruises
Since there are so many cruise options, you may want to employ some other search features to make sure you zero in on the cruises that are the best fits for you. In addition to searching on our “cruise” button (on the left hand pane), you could also click on “international”, “mountains”, or “beach” to make sure the results reflect the kind of cruise that you’re interested in. If you want to go to British Columbia or Alaska, you may want to search “mountains” in addition to “cruise”. If you want to hit some major European hubs, try adding “international” and “city” to narrow down your results.
You can also search by port city, since all cruises are listed based on the city in which they depart. Or, if you’re hoping for a specific topic, why not try the topic filter to narrow in on the cruises with the courses that are of interest to you. (Most focus on general dentistry, but some are offered with more specialized topics).
