Choose to Cruise…
A cruise is a holiday like no other. Once the preserve of the super-rich and matinee idols, cruising is now more affordable – and more popular – than ever. Imagine waking up in a new port of call each morning, enjoying a leisurely breakfast on the open deck while planning out your day’s adventures. You unpack once only, and let your ship move the scenery for you. And what scenery! From sun-kissed Caribbean islands to historic European cities. From the magical Norwegian fjords to Far East adventures.
There are cabins to suit all tastes and budgets, many with balconies. They contain all the amenities that you would find in a hotel room but with one exception – space! That’s not a problem though, as you will be out all day either exploring ashore or enjoying the many first-rate facilities aboard your floating hotel. Spa Centres that rival the very best to be found on land resorts, offering a dazzling range of treatments. Ice skating rinks, climbing walls, mini-golf, a choice of swimming pools, even perfectly manicured lawns, you’ll find them all available on certain ships.
A highlight of most cruises is the cuisine. Modern cruise ships offer a wide range of dining options, from casual dining to sumptuous seven-course meals in sparkling restaurants. For a small supplement you can often dine in specialty restaurants that offer an even more refined dining experience.
On a cruise you can do as much or as little as you like. Relax by one of the pools, learn a new activity or watch the latest movie on deck under the stars. Evening entertainment is of the highest standard, with shows that would not look out of place in the West End.
Wherever you cruise – the Med, Caribbean, Far East, the Baltic or any other stunning destination – you can explore independently or make use of the comprehensive shore excursion programme. So whether you have spent your day admiring world-famous artworks in the Hermitage, snorkelling in Tortola’s crystal-clear waters or taken the Peak Tram to the summit of Victoria Peak for spectacular views of Hong Kong, you will do so safe in the knowledge that you will later return to the luxury of your floating resort at the end of the day.
