1 Hassle-Free Holiday

Forget airports or connecting flights. No more hotel bookings, unpacking and repacking bags, or trying to organise transfers, taxis or rental cars. Cruises really are the stress-free way to travel. All you have to do is focus on having fun.

2  Convenience

Cruising offers the ultimate in convenience and allows holidaymakers to be as active or as lazy as they want, without any judgement or expectation. From boutique shopping to rock climbing, day spas to wave pools, every type of bar and restaurant you can imagine, cinemas, live shows, and so much more, almost everything you could need or dream of is at your fingertips on board today's modern cruise ship. 

3 Cost-Effective

If we could, most of us would go on hundreds of a holidays a year. But there’s always something getting in the way. What is it? Money. Keep your eye out for special offers, particularly during shoulder and off-peak seasons. Plus, tons of cruises offer all-inclusive packages meaning you can live it up without watching your pennies. Do your research though and be careful of fine print and exclusions for these deals.

4  See More In A Short Time

Keen to tick a few countries off your list but a little short on time? Cruise doesn't just give you all the experiences and amenities you could want, it also allows you to visit and explore several different countries in just a few days! There are more itineraries than ever before, with trips ranging from a few nights to several weeks in duration available to travellers. 

5 Everything is At your Fingertips (and Then Some!) 

Many cruise lines pride themselves on exceptional on board amenities and service levels – with on board Wi-Fi, dining and drinking options available all day every day, swimming pools, waiters and butlers and a flawless level of service, a cruise experience has it all. Little can compare to the amenities on board a cruise ship – this active approach to getting what you want can only be beneficial.

6 It's Social

Like to party? The cruise crowd do too. Let your hair down on the high seas and socialise with holidaymakers from all walks of life. From enjoying a drink in the laidback bar to getting involved in the Hawaiian themed party, cruise ships are packed with social and entertainment.

7 Digital Detox

Before you have a meltdown thinking there’s no access to the internet, there is. However, WiFi on cruise ships is tricky thing, and a lot of this has to do with the fact you’re often in the middle of a huge ocean in the middle of nowhere! A cruise holiday forces you to take a break from Tiktok and Instagram and check in with the people you’re holidaying with. Don't worry, there will be plenty of times to post your pics and videos when you dock.

8 Food, Glorious Food

Love your food? So do cruise liners! From Pad Thai to T-Bone, Butter Chicken to Cheeseburgers, you'll be able to feast on almost any type of cuisine imaginable and send your tastebuds on a trip around the world from the comfort of your cruise. Many cruise ships even have cooking classes in which you can cook up your own dinner.

9 Solo, Couple, Family – There's A Cruise For Everyone

Whether you're single looking to mingle, keen to spend some quality time with that special someone, or are planning your next family trip, there are cruise types to suit everyone. Do your research first to ensure you get everything you want, and nothing you don't.
