5 Reasons Why You Should Experience a Cruise

Are you dubious about embarking a cruise for the first time? Then let us inspire you to take the leap…

We’ve all got those relatives or friends that go on several cruises every year. There must be a reason why they opt to do it again and again and rave about their travels every time, but you never think to try it for yourself. If you’re not fully convinced about cruising, let us entice you to take the plunge with these 5 points (which you’ll most likely already be aware of) but we go into a little more detail into the benefits you’ll get from cruising.

Cruises Work Out Better Value for Money
Cruise packages most of the time include everything you’ll need for the ultimate getaway, including accommodation, food, entertainment and overseas transfers. The final price for a cruise is likely to be a lot cheaper than a hotel with flights. If you spend that little more on all-inclusive with the opulent cruise lines, you’ll also be treated to things like free soft drinks and extras such as gratuities, on board credits and tours. Norwegian Cruise Line offers a Free at Sea service for customers which includes things like drinks packages and complimentary Wi-Fi. The only extra money you’ll need for a cruise is for spa services, excursions, spending money and alcohol.

A Cruise Allows You to Discover Multiple Destinations
This is the obvious reason but crucial in deciding to opt for a cruise. It can be difficult to choose just one destination when your bucket list is filled with many. The great thing about cruises is that there are so many itineraries to choose from, so you’re likely to find one that suits your desires. Just imagine it, waking up every day to find yourself in a new city or country. You don’t need to unpack again, you’re already settled and you’re transported to some of the world’s most beautiful destinations, and are able to immerse yourself in different cultures.

They Are Extremely Family Friendly
Cruises offer something special for the whole family to enjoy with incredible on-board attractions such as play zones, water slides, complimentary children’s programmes, video games, swimming pools and thrilling outdoor activities such as surfing and zip lining. You won’t have to worry about whether your kids will be entertained on a cruise, as each day and evening will always be action-packed, and they can go do their own thing with services such as nurseries, kids clubs and teen hang out lounges. When you want to spend time as a family, you can discover some of the most amazing destinations in the world together on unforgettable excursions, and the dining restaurants on board cater for all ages.

It’s Not Just the Kids That Will Be Kept Entertained…
Cruises have this way of winning over all types of traveller, no matter what your age or tastes are. There’s always something to do, whether that’s sunbathing on a terrace by the pool, taking part in a cooking class, going wine tasting, taking a yoga session, indulging at a buffet restaurant, browsing boutiques, enjoying a drink or three at the bar or experiencing on board entertainment. You’ll also be able to spend the day at the spa having a pamper, or even just lie in your cabin with a view of the sea and room service ordered… The options are endless. See the world whilst having the time of your life, experiencing travel your way.

It’s Less Stressful - Your Itinerary is planned for you!
A cruise allows you the chance to be as active or lazy as you like once you’re all unpacked. You’re being floated away somewhere spectacular with all of these on board pleasures, and you don’t need to lift a finger in the process. No missing trains or buses, no following maps and getting lost or dragging your luggage around. It’s just so easy. Your itinerary is planned out for you and that itself can be a major headache, and you’ll avoid the stress of narrowing down a hotel choice and choosing where to dine. All you need to do after choosing your cruise package is show up and relax.

If you haven’t experienced a cruise before, then we hope that this blog has enticed you a little. Just picture it, being somewhere exotic with the view of the dazzling ocean and that well needed vitamin d, whilst sipping on a cocktail and watching the world go by.
