“We are certainly seeing more and more customers choosing to cruise, with bookings already up by 17% year on year,” says Lizzie. “There is so much choice now when it comes to cruising with ships and itineraries to suit everyone, from vast vessels that cater for all the family to more intimate ships for those looking for more private luxury. There are some great priced cruises available and the all-inclusive option really helps families to budget in advance. Plus what better way to see such a huge variety of places in just one holiday without even having to unpack or make a trip to the airport. As a result we have some excellent special offers which I look forward to sharing with my customers in conjunction with ‘National Cruise Week’.”
