Thinking about a cruise? Here’s 6 reasons why it might be perfect for you...

Not sure if a cruise holiday is for you, but curious to find out? Well, I’ve got six great reasons why cruising could be exactly what you’re looking for! If any of these sound like your kind of holiday, then maybe it’s time to set sail and give it a go.

1. Multiple destinations in one holiday

Can’t decide between the Canary Islands, the Caribbean or the Greek islands? Why choose just one when you can visit several in a single trip? A typical 7-night cruise includes around five different ports of call, meaning you get to explore multiple destinations without the hassle of packing and unpacking. And if you love the idea of visiting different countries on the same holiday, there are plenty of itineraries that do just that!

2. Incredible value for money

Cruises are often more affordable than people think - especially when you consider everything included in the price. Your fare typically covers accommodation, food, entertainment and onboard activities; and in some cases, even excursions and transport at each destination. With so much included, a cruise can often work out better value than a land-based holiday.

3. Endless entertainment and activities

Cruise ships are like floating resorts, packed with activities and entertainment for all ages.

Think:

• Ziplining, skydiving simulators and surf machines for the thrill-seekers

• West End-style shows, live music and themed gala nights for evening entertainment

• Workshops, guest lectures and cooking classes for those who like to learn something new

• Kids’ clubs, teen zones and adult-only areas so everyone in the family is happy

With so much going on, you’ll never be short of things to do - whether you’re at sea or in port!

4. No-fly cruise options

Not a fan of flying? No problem! There are plenty of no-fly cruises sailing directly from the UK, including ports in Southampton, Scotland and even Ireland. If you’d rather skip the airport hassle, remove the cost of flights from your holiday or simply prefer a more relaxed start to your trip, there’s a cruise from the UK to suit you.

5. Stress-free travel

Let’s be honest - travelling to multiple destinations usually takes a lot of planning. But with a cruise, everything is sorted for you. Your transport between destinations, accommodation and even meals are all taken care of. No airport queues, no repacking, no stress - just wake up in a new destination each day and enjoy the journey!

6. A great way to meet people

Cruises are brilliant for socialising, whether you’re travelling solo, as a couple or with a group. There’s always a great community atmosphere, and if you’re on a smaller ship, it’s even easier to meet people. Some cruise lines even offer solo traveller events to help you mingle with like-minded guests. Who knows? You might make lifelong friends at sea!

I know that booking your first cruise can feel overwhelming - but that’s where I come in! I’ll help you find the perfect cruise line, ship and itinerary to match your travel style and budget. Whether you want a mini-cruise to test the waters or a full-blown Caribbean adventure, I’ve got you covered.
