Once well-known for cabaret cheese and bad karaoke, the cruise market has changed drastically in recent years with something to cater for everyone. Having always been a popular choice for retirees, what makes cruises such an attractive option for holidaymakers?
1. There’s something for everyone
Whatever holiday you’re looking for, the cruise has it covered. Whether it’s a family break, romantic getaway or round-the-world trip. Holidaying on a cruise liner can tick all the boxes.
2. There’s lots to do
You’ll never be short of things to do, but it’s also a great option for those just wanting to chill-out too – the possibilities are endless. You’ll have the opportunity to experience fine dining, bathe in the sun on the deck, chill-out in the spa, go to the theatre, practice your dance moves and watch a variety of acts.
3. It can be less stressful
A cruise can be much less stressful than a traditional package holiday. It’s now typical to find spa and wellness centres on board to help you relax and take a breather while you travel the world. Plus, it’s a great chance to take time away from your devices and try a digital detox to really experience the world around you.
4. It’s value for money
You may think that all this luxury comes with a high price tag, but there are plenty of choices available for the more budget-conscious travellers. All-inclusive cruises are a smart way to enjoy a range of activities and experience new holiday destinations without breaking the bank. Pick the right vessel and you could experience entertainment of Broadway quality included in the price too.
5. You don’t have to step foot on an aircraft
There are plenty of no-fly cruises to enjoy for a hassle-free straight-onto-the-ship alternative that appeals to many. With hundreds of no-fly cruises sailing from the UK every year, cruising makes dream holidays a possibility without ever having to step foot on an aircraft.
If you want to enjoy your retirement to its fullest but can’t decide on the best way to do that, considering a cruise trip could be a good place to start.
