Cruise Control The Cruise Comeback |
|
Cruise holidays have never been so popular thanks to the increased variety of cruise holidays to suit every budget and taste.
A cruise holiday used to be an experience restricted to the very wealthy. A cruise is the ultimate in indulgence and luxury, a chance to see the world in opulent style. But the news that the number of UK holidaymakers taking a sea cruise broke the one million mark in 2005 shows how the cruise market has opened up to cater for a wide variety of holidaymakers, including singletons, young families and intrepid explorers. Cruise Holidays for the 21st CenturyThe increase in Brits taking a cruise holiday is thanks to the accessibility of the cruise market. The black tie image of the typical cruiser has evolved as cruise holidays have been marketed and devised to cater for all ages, needs and budgets. The flexibility of cruise holidays has ensured that favourite destinations such as the Mediterranean and the Caribbean are still hot spots for the retired, honeymooners and romantics, but emerging markets in South America, Asia and the surge in popularity for cruises to Alaska illustrates a more adventurous cruise traveller. Cruise Ships: Luxury on a BudgetThe wide variety of choice of cruise ships - from basic and affordable, to lavish luxury including penthouse suites with six star service - means there's a cruise holiday for you no matter what your wage packet. And the flexible itineraries mean it's never been easier to hop aboard a cruise. Cruise ships once catered for the retired market earning the cruise industry something of a 'geriatric' image. But now they don't just cater to the older markets. Bars, dance floors and casinos sit alongside Jacuzzis, specialist Spa rooms and high octane activities such as wall climbing. The beauty of a cruise is you can pick the destination and the cruise ship to suit your lifestyle, with the option to relax and recover on-board. A day's diving can end in the cruise bar, after a quick dip in the on-board pool or a relaxing massage - it's the best of both worlds. Cruise Holidays: High Satisfaction RatesIt's no wonder that the cruise holiday has made such a huge comeback as the market booms. As the demand increases, cruise companies are manufacturing increasingly impressive ships. Carnival Corporation has a stock market value over twenty billion - it has launched luxury liners valued at around £200m. The cruise specialists began in the cruise business in 1972 with a second-hand Russian cruise ship and has become one of the biggest cruise companies in the world. The trend to cruise has been dubbed the "cruising boom" as cruise ships are equipped to host young families, singletons out for adventure and couples who want to marry on-board. The popularity of cruise holidays has been put down to the 'high satisfaction rate' as a cruise holiday offers just about everything anyone could ask for, suiting different tastes and needs.
