With the long, dark nights now upon us, it is a great time to plan your next cruise, be it a last minute break before Christmas or that special holiday for next year. As usual, we have plenty of superb deals and information that we hope will be useful in deciding on the perfect cruise for you.

As the market continues to grow, cruising is getting more and more exciting. Every year the cruise lines are announcing new and improved itineraries with bigger and better ships. With Costa's new Dubai cruise and stay packages and Royal Caribbean's Navigator of the Seas sailing from Barcelona throughout the summer, 2008 is set to be another eventful year. Launching in July, the ms Eurodam will be Holland America’s most luxurious and grandest ship yet, so it is all great news for cruisers.

Ship Review of the Month - MSC Sinfonia

"4 'girls' (well actually ladies in their fifties) travelled together for a week’s med cruise. We really enjoyed our trip. The food was excellent with lots of choice, the crew friendly, and the ship elegant and spacious. We had plenty to do, and there was never a dull moment. We definitely recommend this cruise."
