The Year of The Cruise

With the UK sporadically shrouded in volcanic ash, and the ever present threat of another British Airways strike, is it any wonder that there has been a marked increase in interest in cruising as a holiday. Generally speaking, June and early July - the period before the school holidays begin, is a great time to sail away and like other years, 2010 will I am sure be no exception, but with the aforementioned uncertainty in the air, cruising is attracting a lot of attention, particularly so for ships departing from UK ports. So where will the offers be?
A great question. I suspect it will be the fly cruises that will be the hardest to fill so the liklihood is that this is where the discounts will be at their best. Already at the luxury end, Azamara Cruises - part of Royal Caribbean - are offering a terrific deal with a FREE flight offer from UK airports + $500 on board spend per stateroom. There are a couple of dates that are now full, but if you are thinking of a cruise on a small intimate ship this year NOW is definitely the time to book.

The more modest but very popular Thomson Holiday cruises too are offering a £400 per person discount on selected cruises on certain dates, in particular on their latest ship the Thomson dream.

I receive daily updates from cruise companies giving their latest availability and details of reductions, so if you are a crusie fiend like myself then why not drop me a line or give me a call. Let us talk about your next holiday adventure, and, as my strapline says...

Who knows where our conversation will take you.
