Best credit card for travel (cruises & out of country)

I asked in another post, but figure I'd ask here. I'm looking for a credit card that would be maily used for travel, including cruises, hotels and airline travel (mostly europe)

 

I usually fly with virgin atlantic, and the crusises vary from more local to european cruises. Hotels are the same, mainly stay in hotles near NYC or abroad. What are my best options to look at? 

 

Thank You

I am looking for travel card myself
My top pick so far is
AAA member rewards by BoA
it gives you 3% cashback on all travel purchase (Air, Car rental, Cruise, hotel...)
No AF
Downside to this card is it charges you Foreign Exchange fee of 2%
Travel accident insurance only 250k =same as CSP

I would say a hotel card of some kind, 

 

marriott/ritz, hyatt, something like that (ritz has the 140k point offer right now) 

 

Have you considered one of the virgin credit cards? Virgin is pretty terrible for international award flights because of fuel surcharges, but most int'l flights are like that now. I know they had like a 118,000 miles sign up bonus going on a few months ago. no idea what it is now.
