Cruise packages increasingly popular choice

A report released by the UK Passenger Shipping Association indicates that cruise popularity is enjoying something if a renaissance. The UK sector was up by 8% from 2004 with an estimated 1.14m people booking cruise holidays. This trend is seen across the Europe and North America with Germany emerging as the most 'cruise-likely' nation.

The explosion of cruise packages is accredited to the improving standard of on-board services. From bars to fine dining, through bungee jumping, casinos and line dancing; the new generation of ships are able to cater for family cruises, luxury cruises, cruise bargains and even celebrity holidays!
