Explore the World a Different Way in 2012
Many holidaymakers’ idea of a relaxing break away is to be based in a single resort for the duration of their stay, maybe spending some time on the beach, by the pool, or hiring a car to explore the local area. But for others, a great holiday experience and true value for money means opting for multiple destinations within one holiday where you can literally wake up to a new city, beachscape or far-flung island every day.
Cruise holidays are a great way to see the world without lifting a finger. You’ll glide from one port to another, sometimes barely aware of how or when you arrived, and enjoy time exploring each new destination for the day or joining an organised excursion to be whisked from one famous site to another. And when it comes to great cruises, 2012 is shaping up to be another fantastic year.
Whether you fancy exploring a different side to the Mediterranean, taking in the sights and sounds of Palma, Barcelona, Cannes or Lisbon, discovering the spectacular Norwegian Fjords, or escaping to a Caribbean haven to sink your toes into white powdery sands, there is a superb range of itineraries on offer for every taste and budget.
But it doesn’t have to be an expensive luxury for the chosen few. Thanks to tour operators’ package deals and competitive prices between brands, you can find discounts on cruise itineraries and still get to enjoy life onboard a spectacular liner. Special offers come in all shapes and sizes from Royal Caribbean cruise deals and reductions on P&O sailings to many other offers – with such money-saving gems as online booking savings, low-cost cabin upgrades and even the chance to bag some free onboard cash.
So if you haven’t already, why not try a cruise holiday this year?
