3 Reasons to Consider a Cruise This Year

By Twothirstytravellers @2thirstytrav

Are you dreaming of a vacation that feels like a vacation? Do you want to go home and feel relaxed, well rested and ready to get back into the madness of daily life with a little more bounce in your step? I’ve been on a few holidays before that don’t really feel like holidays if you’re constantly moving between hotel rooms, packing your clothes up every few days and breaking a sweat trying to run with all your baggage to make the next train. If you’re looking for a more relaxing holiday with plenty of time to read a book, then a cruise holiday may be the perfect solution for you. Here are my top 3 reasons why I love going on a cruise and if you’re in the market for a cruise check out these cruise deals.

1. All-Inclusive Package
There’s nothing more challenging for me personally than trying to figure out different currencies while I’m on the road, especially if you’re trying to manage a few different currencies at once. If you’re on a cruise, changes are you’ve paid for almost everything before you’ve already left including your board, food, and drinks so all you have to do is show up and enjoy! No hassle figuring out what the local custom is to tip, how much money you will need to withdraw before you change the country. It just saves all the headaches, allowing you to focus on what’s really important: margaritas by the pool.

2. One Room For the Duration of the Cruise
This can be a game changer, especially if you’re traveling with young children! Having one room for the duration of the cruise means that you can unpack and find a little amount of normalcy on your cruise. It means you don’t have to spend your trip living out of the suitcase, spending an hour or so every second day cramming your clothes into a suitcase before trying to lug it up and down a few flights of stairs. While it might sound boring being in one place for a week or two, the truth is you’re not! Because you’re on a cruise and constantly changing locations, you have all the comforts of being in one place with the magic of traveling! It’s the perfect combination.

3. Great Value
One of the things I love most about cruises is that you can visit places that would be otherwise very expensive to visit in a rather affordable manner. If you want to travel to a few of the more remote places around the Pacific, such as Fiji, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, and so on, flights between these islands would be insanely expensive, but choosing to do a cruise tour can work out to be extremely competitive and offers board, food and entertainment too! Because the cruise ships deal with such high volumes of clients they can offer bulk packages at such exceptional pricing, passing on huge savings to you, the client.

Cruises are such a fun way to travel. I’m sure if you choose a cruise for your next family holiday, you’ll have a great, memorable family vacation. If you’ve got itchy feet, you should book a tour and explore more of this wonderful world!
