Cruise Information

This has to be one of the best ways to explore the world. We've found a great selection of blogs on the subject and brought you the ten finest, focussing on writers with extensive and useful knowledge of cruising. It's addictive, we know this (as does 'Cruise Junkie' at the top of this list) but is it a luxury out of reach of the proletariat? No, we've discovered. No it's not.

We've been travelling by sea for millennia. The comparatively recent invention of air travel is expensive, uncomfortable, stressful and unhealthy. Airports are not very pleasant places to be, and aeroplanes can cause serious health problems. Road travel is dangerous and railways rarely go from A to B without stopping at D, Y, H, and with a change at J. The alternative is travel by ship, to see the world from the comfort of a cabin with room service and at a much more leisurely pace. When you holiday by air, you spend a whole day in transit. On a cruise, your holiday starts immediately - as soon as you're in transit, you're in a relaxed environment.

There are plenty of deals which make cruises an affordable holiday. They're ideal for the less mobile, because on a boat there isn't much walking, but also for people who want to include several countries on their travels. The blogs below - the best in their category by a long margin - will help you find the best deals while also guiding you through the practical aspects of choosing a cruise.
