8 Reasons Why Your Next Holiday Should be a Cruise

If you’re planning your next holiday, have you got a cruise on your list of options? If not, why not? Cruise holidays have been steadily growing in popularity in recent years, with the Telegraph quoting the figure of almost 1.79m passengers.

So why are cruises proving such a hit, and why should your next holiday be a cruise? Here are 8 reasons why…

1 It’s the best way to see the world

If you want to explore and travel the world, you’ll find a cruise a brilliant way to do it. Travelling by plane is great, but you never actually see anything – aboard a cruise ship you can stand on deck and watch the ocean, spotting new countries as you approach them.

2 One holiday but multiple destinations

Where do you want to go on holiday next? Barbados? Excellent choice – you’ll have a very good time. With a Caribbean cruise, however, you can see several islands during the same holiday – perhaps Barbados, St Lucia, St Kitts, St Maarten, and the Azores.

6 It’s a sociable holiday

If you’re hoping to meet new people, you’ll certainly find plenty of other holidaymakers to talk to and mix with on a cruise. A cruise is a sociable holiday – you’ll be on board with hundreds, if not thousands, of others, so it’s like a community of its own. You’ll probably find a range of ages on your cruise. If you prefer to keep your own company you can, but if you like to meet new people, you will.
