Penny Guy, a spokesperson for the Passenger Shipping Association, has revealed that typically sought-after destinations including the Caribbean continue to be in style, alongside newer locations such as Baltic and Fjords cruises.

Miss Guy said: "We have the traditional popular spots of the Mediterranean and the Caribbean. Northern Europe and the Baltic are proving particularly popular as well.

"There's a lot culture in those areas and beautiful scenic views so they're drawing customers."

The spokesperson added that among the benefits for holidaymakers of taking a cruise holiday is that they have little to sort out, as accommodation, food and entertainment is all provided, alongside the opportunity to visit a range of destinations.

"Cruising is certainly holding its own in this difficult economic climate because of that value proposition that it offers," she concluded.

A report earlier this year from the Passenger Shipping Association revealed that the Mediterranean is the favourite cruise destination for British holidaymakers.

Travelbite has revealed that there are many "unspoiled landscapes" in Norway and that a cruise ship offers the chance to witness the Norwegian coastline and its range of islands.

Meanwhile, if a holidaymaker opts to leave their cruise ship to get a better view of the country they will have the chance to head into locations such as quaint fishing villages and view old lighthouses.

There are also opportunities to enjoy activities including scuba-diving, canoeing and swimming with killer whales, according to Travelbite.

The website added that Norway is a destination that is suitable for travellers "with a variety of tastes and preferences", due to its natural scenery and city attractions.

Those looking to head to Norway can do so through a number of cruise operations including P&O Cruises, Celebrity Cruises and Royal Caribbean Cruises.

Among the seven world heritage sites in Norway are the Urnes Stave Church, the West Norwegian Fjords and the rock carvings at Alta.

The liner will drop anchor in New Orleans and run week-long Caribbean cruise holidays to the western Caribbean until April 2008.

"We are thrilled with the commitment that Norwegian Cruise Lines has shown our city and that the company will return in 2007 with Norwegian Spirit," said Gary LaGrange, president and chief executive officer of the Port of New Orleans.

Currently, Norwegian Spirit is showing guests the sights and sounds of Bermuda, St Thomas and the British Virgin Islands from its home port off New York, offering exciting Caribbean cruise holidays to those who wish to indulge.

Norwegian Spirit can carry almost 2,000 passengers on its Caribbean cruise holidays, offering 600 oceanview staterooms, 65 per cent of which have balconies overlooking the beautiful ocean.

Norwegian Cruise Lines' itineraries for its Caribbean cruise holidays from New Orleans will include stops in Belize City, Santo Tomas, Guatemala and Costa Maya, among others.
