When it comes to cruises, there's something out there
for everyone – whatever floats your boat! Get the most
out of your holiday overseas with our
guide to the top 5 cruises
. We'll help you experience the best the world has to
offer.
1. The party cruise (Greece)
As a collection of dozens of islands, Greece is perfect for
cruises, and this one's livelier than most.
You'll get dropped off at a different port each
evening, before the ship departs again sometime after 2am.
It docks again at 11am the next morning, so you can spend
the day on the beach, recovering, before starting again!

2. The epic river cruise (China)
Most tourists visiting China head for the cities, so why not
do something different and explore the magnificent Yangzi
River? Marvel at the incredible mountain gorges and
beautiful freshwater dolphins from the comfort of your own
private balcony.

3. The classic cruise (Florida and the Bahamas)

spas, casinos, nightclubs, restaurants… and stunning
scenery. Whether you'll want to kick back on the boat,
or take the opportunity to explore the beautiful locations
(such as Key West), you can't beat a classic cruise.

4. The adventure cruise (Fiji)
For many holidaymakers, a cruise trip is all about relaxing
and unwinding – but you can make it as active as you
want to. How about touring Fijian islands, with
opportunities for snorkelling, kayaking, mountain biking and
diving?

5. The quaint, English cruise (UK)
If plush opulence and the vast ocean don't appeal, how
about driving your own (hired) traditional canal boat
through the heart of England? It's a bit like mixing
the cosiness of camping with the variety of a normal cruise.
And if you get seasick, you'll only be a few metres
from land!

Whichever type of trip suits you best, don't forget to
make sure you've got cruise travel insurance. So you can
unwind properly, and enjoy your cruise…
