There are family cruises, designed with entertainment for the kids and a place for them to play whilst you dine al-fresco or chill out sunbathing on deck, and there are also adult only cruises which mean you get to leave the kids at home for a few weeks of peace.

With most cruise packages these days you get a fairly spacious cabin kitted out with an en suite, television, hairdryer and tea and coffee making facilities.

Make sure that you take a few of your best frocks though; the dress code on a cruise can be fairly strict. No swimwear in the restaurants during the day and it’s definitely dress to impress in the evenings which is fairly traditional for cruises.

If you fancy an adventure and the chance to visit a number of different countries for your holiday, then a cruise may just be up your street. For some people, the thought of being stuck on the same island or in the same hotel for 2 weeks sounds dull, if this is you, make sure you book your cruise today!!
