ALL ABOARD – THE BENEFITS OF TAKING A CRUISE

in Features/Travel

When you think about cruises, what are your first thoughts? An exciting way to travel, waking up to a new horizon every day or simply enjoying everything that is on offer onboard?

Are you wondering if a cruise holiday is right for you? While there are all the obvious benefits that come from a nearly all-inclusive holiday with a pre-planned destination itinerary, there are also many hidden benefits of cruising that might surprise you.

Cruise holidays provide you with a time to relax, to unwind, and to sample new places. Typical cruise ship travel includes all meals, fabulous entertainment, enrichment lectures, spa, and health options, as well as transport and accommodation. 

When compared to a land holiday, cruising offers a variety of positive benefits:

These are just a few positive reasons to choose a cruise.


You can tailor your experience based on your budget, selecting specific accommodations, dining arrangements and even shore excursions. Most cruises already include dining, entertainment, and gratuities, offering options for even the most financially conscious traveller.


Additional expenses may include drinks, casino play, spa treatments, shore excursions and shopping.


For those looking to indulge in a more exclusive experience, many cruises offer additional premium dining choices, entertainment and even specially assigned spaces, such as spas, pools and restaurants.


For travellers who have decided on a week onboard, cruise ships will offer you a chance to experience a number of enticing destinations, across the globe. In one week. Love the Caribbean? Some ships sailing through the Caribbean will bring guests to four exciting ports of call, whereas a land based resort only offers the same destination each day.


A cruise experience offers you the opportunity to experience as much, or as little of the world as you wish. Cruises also offer the flexible pricing, allowing all travellers the chance to cruise within their own budgets.

Cruises can undoubtedly contribute to wellness, both physically and mentally.

In years past, taking a cruise equated to over indulging. This is now considered unappealing and more importantly, unhealthy. Many cruise ships come equipped with modern fitness centers, luxuriant spas and plenty of respites to soothe the soul as well as the body. On a cruise, your worries really do float away as you can delegate the responsibility for getting there to someone else while you focus on relaxing. 

If you are seeking a travel experience that is both educational and fun, a cruise is an inspiring choice. Travelling by boat provides a significant opportunity to learn about the world as you explore new cultures and people. 

A cruise ship is the perfect place to relax and unwind. The days are often filled with exploring new places, trying delicious food from across the globe, and getting to know other travellers from around the world.

Cruising is a holiday option that has quickly become one of the most popular choices for travellers. Cruisers enjoy the convenience of not having to worry about packing, unpacking, or arranging transport. They also love that they do not need to do extensive research because every detail is taken care of by the cruise line. 

This leaves the cruise traveller to embark, enjoy and immerse themselves in this unique travel experience.
