Hotel versus Cruise Cabins

There are a number of reasons why cruise holidays have experienced such a surge in popularity. The cruise industry has been through its own ups and downs on the choppy waters of the tourism industry. When the jet era took off in the sixties, cruise holidays went into a slow decline, although the niche market of holidaymakers who still loved the luxury, indulgence and enforced idleness of cruise holidays persisted. But cruise holidays took off again as the market adapted, building bigger and more luxurious cruise ships for the added wow factor.

Cruise Holidays: The Loveboat

Cruise holidays became more accessible and popular in the seventies, partly thanks to hit TV show The Loveboat that brought the dramas of the high seas into living rooms across America and the UK. And cruise holidays became more adventurous to suit the tastes of its customers, with cruises to the Arctic and Antarctica in particular demand as cruise holidays are often the only, and best way, to experience those landscapes.

But looking at the benefits of cruise holidays versus booking hotels or resorts on land explains why cruise holidays have experienced such a renaissance.

Depending on where you book your cruise holiday, you can be in a different port every day. Without having to worry about how to get from A to B, or to pack up and move every time you want to see somewhere new, cruise holidays are the ultimate floating hotels.
