All at Sea



Cruising is becoming increasingly popular and cruise lines now offer a vast selection of cruises to suit just about everyone. If you have never been on a cruise holiday before because you thought it wouldn't be to your liking then now is the time to reconsider. The following links will take you to informative articles for anyone considering a cruise.


Many couples of all ages are now choosing either to marry aboard ship while the ship is in port, followed by a honeymoon cruise after the wedding guests have left. It's even possible to tie the knot at sea nowadays on certain cruise lines.   



With so many lines all in competition with one another, the choice of cruises available is nothing short of amazing. Prices have not increased significantly over the past decade but the wealth of newly introduced activities will impress the entire family. There are rock climbing walls, ice skating rinks, wave machines and shopping malls to rival any on land.






'Allure of the Seas'

Ships are now bigger, better and brighter than ever before and cruising has certainly abandoned its stuffy reputation in favour of a trendier more family friendly image. Restaurants and eating areas offer no end of choice to please any gourmet and long days at sea need not be boring. The deck of a modern cruise ship can be the playground of adults and children alike.


The past few years have seen the launch of ships as long as three football pitches which boast every conceivable attraction that a typical onshore resort could provide. On a week's cruise you will be hard pushed to do and see everything these magnificent liners have on board.

Disney cruises
 

Even adults will love the Disney fleet and Disney's very own holiday island: Castaway Cay. Take a Disney cruise as an exciting alternative to Disney's land based kingdoms or combine it with a cruise and stay holiday.

But if you really can't abide Mickey Mouse and his entourage for a whole week then there are several alternatives to Disney that kids will enjoy just as much. Royal Caribbean also have their own island of fun in the sun.

'Freestyle cruising'

Norwegian Cruise Lines provide a trendy new accent to cruising which ensures you can do whatever you want when you want without sticking to a rigid regime or 'Dressing for dinner'. With instantly recognisable psychedelic hulls it's hard to miss this fashionable fleet.                             

Retirement cruising

If this is the time in your life when you need to relax and take things at a leisurely pace then booking a cruise will be the easiest way to ensure your holiday goes according to plan.


Best cruises for singles

The young set will love Carnival's party cruises. There are gay and lesbian cruises, themed cruises and cruises for those celebrating a special occasion - in fact no one needs to remain a landlubber and miss out on all the fun. 


Discover the world's most historic cruise ports

On a Mediterranean cruise, Venice, Rome, The Bay of Naples and many other places of cultural importance can be discovered in the space of a week. Islands and coastal highlights can ensure that your chosen itinerary will be action-packed in addition to quality time on board.


Venice, Italy
A cruise can be the ideal travel solution for just about anyone but it doesn't necessarily have to be a voyage in search of sun or history - the 2011 season will see Disney introduce their own brand of family cruising to Alaska for a chance to see breathtaking natural landscapes and wildlife.
