Cruise Holidays: Luxury for budgets large and small
It’s time to choose a Summer holiday, and many people will happily book a scheduled flight or opt for a package holiday to just one destination. But when it comes to cruise holidays, you can experience the best bits of multiple destinations in one holiday, and with one choice of accommodation. A cruise ship is transport, accommodation and a restaurant in one – in some cases a gym, swimming pool and a theatre too – and many people are waking up to the idea that a cruise holiday offers much more value for money than the average package break.
And what’s more, this luxurious never-lift-a-finger style of holiday needn’t break the bank. You can find cruise deals across a whole range of itineraries and knock a significant amount off the original cost of the holiday by staying alert to tour operator’s deals and discounts – whether that means utilising online discounts, booking late to grab a last-minute bargain, or taking advantage of deals on upgrades to secure a bigger cabin or an all inclusive onboard drinks package.
One thing’s for sure, whichever itinerary you choose and whoever you sail with – from P&O Cruises to Royal Caribbean International – there is always a wealth of choice on offer and a vast range of experiences to choose from. Will you live it up onboard with surfing and rock-climbing lessons? Spend your days ashore exploring exciting cities and glorious holiday destinations? Or really push the boat out and enjoy a longer 18-night itinerary around the picturesque Caribbean?
Novices or first-timers can also choose from a range of short taster cruises and take in a smaller schedule of ports across just one or two nights. So whatever you want from your cruise holiday, there is something for everyone – and a lot more in-between.
