Cheap Cruises

Sunday, September 12th, 2010

There are over 50 cruise lines around the World. Some are expensive luxury cruises and there are some low price luxury cruises. People who have the money to spend can choose any cruise but for family who cannot afford expensive cruises this post will give you information where you can find affordable cruises. Luxury cruises such as regent cruises, cunard cruises and silversea cruises are one of the expensive cruise lines in the industry. It might be expensive but these are one of the top cruise lines, these are also for long cruise holidays.

Whereas for short term cruising you can use cruise lines such as princess cruises and royal caribbean cruises. For people who have a certain amount of budget to find the cruise then these cruise lines might have a cruising holiday for them. It doesn’t mean these cruise lines are not good just because they offer cheap cruising pricing. For example for their onboard services got them many awards for their service and journey in the past, princess cruises that is. These cruise lines have fantastic cruise ship with mini shopping centres, bars and restaurants. Another great thing is that they also have activities for children onboard. There are great deals to choose from these cruise lines if you are looking for a short journey around the Mediterranean sea.

There are thousands of people who go on a cruise every year, and from their feedbacks the information were about the aboves being the top cruise lines. There is no denying that. Celebrity cruises is another cruise line which I have missed out here. Few months ago there was air transport cancelled and it was celebrity cruises which step forward to help out the UK tourists who were stranded in Spain. They brought their new ship to UK but then helped the stranded out. They also received fantastic feedback about their cruise ship and is also another cheap cruise line.

I hope this post gives you an idea on cruise lines.

Should You Fly Or Cruise?

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

Are you a flying person or a cruising person? But I believe there is a reason why people travel through a cruise and travel by a plane. People who want to go on luxury cruises are happy staying in one place for a week or two and enjoy themselves within the cruise. People go on a holiday on a plane because they want to spend more than one day on that city or place they visit. Cruise ship does stop in different destinations but only for few hours which doesn’t give you the chance to see the attractions.

Let’s take an example, let’s say you want to go on bank holiday weekend in August. You can’t really go there on a cruise because it will probably take you three days to get there and that’s your holiday over? Well if book official holidays from work then yes you can but only for 3 days cruising is not the best option. These are the times when you are looking for quick getaway to a different European city which you haven’t seen or visited before. That is what I do when I go on holiday to Europe. A lot of people like going to a place where they have been previously. Every time I go on a short break I like visiting a new city.

Over the winter I am planning to go to the Caribbean and I have 20 days off and this is going to be a cruise trip. I will be travelling in cunard cruises from Spain to Caribbean Islands. This cruise trip will last 20 days and is costing me upto £2,000, which is not bad to be honest. I received the deal because I won their social media competition and the prize was 30% discount on their cruises. I would also like to cruise in regent cruises because of the biggest cruise ship in the World, that would definitely be interesting.
