Introducing the world of cruising ... a cruise holiday guide

Cruising is fast becoming a hot favourite holiday choice amongst British travellers, by the end of 2006 alone an estimated 1.25 million British holiday makers took to the open sea for their annual break. 370,000 of us cruised in the Mediterranean in 2005, making it the UK’s favourite cruise destination, however other areas are catching up fast in the popularity stakes, with 140,000 British guests took the waterways of European rivers last year. It is also one of the fastest growing sectors of the UK holiday market, the ex-UK (sailing from a UK port) market grew last year by a massive 28%, and is anticipated to continue to rise, whereas other areas of the holiday industry are experiencing a degree of stagnation.

The reasons for this huge popularity are varied.

A cruise ship is far more than a floating hotel – it is a home away from home, a whole floating resort with your every need and desire both catered for and anticipated. Nor is a cruise holiday the exclusive preserve of the affluent or those with time on their hands… the modern cruise market has something for everybody!
