Create Lasting Memories by going on a Luxury Cruise
There are many reasons why people choose to go on a cruise rather than settling for their usual package deal. A cruise will enable you to wake up somewhere new each day as well as making it possible to see more of the world in a shorter space of time.
Usually when people think about cruises they either imagine a Mediterranean holiday or a trip to the Caribbean. Of course these days, the world really is your oyster, and there are some very unusual places to see.
Pacific Cruises
The islands of the South Pacific are as close to paradise as you will get. If you want to escape the freezing cold winters in the UK then a Pacific cruise is ideal due to its tropical climate. There's no better way to celebrate the yuletide season than to relax in the warmth with no cares. Instead of having to worry about scraping the ice from your car windscreen you can spend your time deciding which activities to take part in. Alternatively you can simply chill out and take advantage of the first class hospitality and eat the delicious food.
Middle East Cruises
You might be deterred from visiting the Middle East but it has so much to offer that it would be a great shame to miss out. You can revel in the history and various cultures whilst also absorbing the stunning architecture. Many cruise companies have excursions that allow you to visit places such as Egypt, Yemen and Oman which are all unusual destinations and make for brilliant photo opportunities. The best time to cruise in Egypt along the Nile is in the early months of the year (January to April), when the climate is more agreeable.
Scandinavian Cruises
Imagine how it would feel to experience the same sights as Norse and Viking explorers once did. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking from the lush greenery to the fabled waterfalls. A Scandinavian cruise is a good alternative to a sunshine style trip and offers some amazing sightseeing opportunities. Interesting places to look up are the city of Tallinn, where time has seemingly stood still, as well as Helsinki, Copenhagen and Stockholm. This special cruise enables you to see glistening mountain tops, rolling valleys and sparkling lakes so that you really get a feel for all things Scandinavian.
Alaskan Cruise
Alaska has one of the most unique landscapes on the planet and cruising offers the finest way to experience the beauty, wildlife and surreal nature. An Alaskan cruise sails around the magnificent waterways of North America and this seemingly endless coastline boasts three million lakes and thousands of stunning glaciers. Wildlife and nature enthusiasts can watch the mesmerising eagles, whales and bears as well as other creatures while they take in sights such as the fjords and sprawling wilderness. One of the most popular ports is Ketchikan which is completely steeped in charm and character although the cruise also takes you to Juneau and Sitka where you will find a mixture of Native American, Russian and American cultures.
If you want to experience the phenomenon that is the Northern Lights then this cruise will make your dreams come true. The best time to see the lights in all their glory is the end of winter although they are visible all year round. It's actually possible to book a specific cruise to Alaska known as 'Whale Songs and Northern Lights' which makes for an unforgettable life changing adventure.
Family Cruises-Entertaining the Kids
A cruise is a relatively stress-free way to holiday with children. The ships are family friendly and you can request family suites or rooms which connect so that you can keep a close eye on your precious cargo.
There are four different clubs for toddlers, juniors, tweens and teens so there are activities which are suitable for all children. Older kids can take part in activities such as water sports, karaoke, dances and other entertainment while younger children can enjoy getting their fingers sticky with arts and crafts, treasure hunts and joining in with the fun factory. There are always fully trained youth councillors and child carers on board so that you can always have peace of mind.
A family cruise will also offer a wide range of family shore tours which have been specifically designed for families. This is a great opportunity for children to see different parts of the world and learn about the history and culture while they are on their travels. Many kids only get to see the inside of a swimming pool on a package holiday so a cruise is the perfect way to broaden their minds.
Bespoke Cruises
If total relaxation is the aim of your trip, then book a cruise for a mind, body and spirit package which concentrates on rejuvenation and utter relaxation. Most themes are catered for to make your trip memorable. Group cruises are also a great idea, especially for special family occasions such as reunions or anniversaries.
