Cruising has become one of the most popular holiday choices in recent years and it’s easy to see why. What could be better than a floating luxury hotel, shopping centre, health club and spa, not to mention gourmet dining and poolside cocktails!
We decided to ask our resident travel experts at Idle Travel for more information and here’s what they told us about the world of cruising.
Not only is the trend for cruises in general growing, it is becoming far more popular to set sail from a port in the UK rather than a long flight to board your ship and start your holiday. You can sail from Southampton, Liverpool or Portsmouth amongst others, relax immediately and wake each morning to a new view and a different, exciting destination.
Don’t think you will be bored on sea days either, if you are a foodie, there are gourmet restaurants with celebrity chef menus and demonstrations. You can also discover new and exciting wines with wine tasting classes, take some ‘me time’ in the beautiful spa onboard or some retail therapy at the many duty free shops in the shopping mall .
Maybe you prefer those fun, onboard activities, live shows, going to the cinema or just watching the world go by with your favourite novel, whatever you prefer, it is made available for you on a cruise.
Today’s amazing ships are packed from bow to stern with entertainment, activities and delicious dining, and with everything they offer, you are bound to have the time of your life.
Wondering where to go?
The world is a huge place but on a cruise you can tick off quick a few places in one trip. How about an Alaskan adventure for glaciers, stunning wildlife and the Aurora Borealis. Maybe the cold is not for you so your boxes could be ticked by a Mediterranean cruise taking in bucket list places such as the Amalfi Coast and Monaco and favourites Malta, Croatia and Rome. What about the Caribbean?
But for a true bucket list cruising experience, how about a world cruise, you can even choose just part of a world cruise if you don’t want to do the whole journey.
There is a cruise for everyone. If in doubt, have a chat with Tony and his team of travel experts at Idle Travel, they will find the perfect cruise for you.
