Compared to most land vacations, cruises offer much better value for money. For a start, the initial fare includes your accommodation, main meals and in-between snacks, entertainment, lectures, social functions, participation events, movies, and use of the ship’s facilities, including the fitness centre, casino (no entry charge, and you don’t have to be a member), and perhaps air tickets and transfers to get to and from your cruise ship.
The hassles of a land-based vacation are completely eliminated in one very neat package – and you have to pack and unpack only once.
With the outstanding choice of cruises, ships and itineraries available for every budget, a cruise represents almost unlimited potential. More than 280 ocean-going cruise ships carrying from 50 to more than 4,000 passengers visit almost 2,000 cruise destinations throughout the world, and new ships are being constantly introduced.
Cruising is a year-round vacation for singles, couples, families with children, and those of senior years. You are transported from place to place in a highly civilized manner. You can be as active, or as relaxed and pampered as you like. Most cruise ships have a well equipped medical centre.
Early booking means greater savings, and a better choice of accommodation. Many lines allow you to extend your vacation and have special pre- and post-cruise hotel/resort or safari game-park extra stay packages available at appealing rates. |
