JOKING AROUND Comedy has become a hot trend in cruise-ship entertainment, with funnymen (and women) doing standup routines on stage. These comics, who often are Vegas regulars and appear on TV's Comedy Central, generally offer family- friendly early shows and late-night, adult- only shows. J Kangaroo Island Australia contin- ues to be one of the fastest- growing cruise favourites, and among its newest ports is Kangaroo Island. Located off the southern coast, it's home to 267 species of birds – and kangaroos, of course. New Ships If you're a cruiser who loves the excitement of sailing on the newest – or the most innovative – ship out there, you're in luck. At least seven new ocean liners and a record-breaking 40 new river vessels, many popping up all over Southeast Asia, are being launched in 2015. Myanmar A hot new cruise destination is Myanmar (formerly Burma) in Southeast Asia. Both ocean and river cruises now visit this exotic country, which largely was closed to outside society until 2010. Yangon, the main port of call, boasts striking pagodas, palaces and natural beauty. K N M LUXURY AT SEA Want to be pampered? Many ships cater to your every desire with state-of- the-art spas, professionally trained butlers, walk-in closets and expansive "pillow menus." L Ocean Cruising Picture yourself relaxing on the deck of your ship, faced with an endless, mesmerizing view of the big, blue sea. Ocean cruising, appreciated by guests for its romance, tradition and ease of travel, continues to attract millions of first-time guests every year.
