Cruise lines have worked hard to shrug the myth that cruise holidays are expensive, old fashioned or boring. Modern cruises are dynamic holidays that let you pack multiple destinations into one exciting trip - whilst enjoying state of the art facilities on board the ship. With all meals and most entertainment included, cruises also work out excellent value for money.
Some cruise lines, such as Thomson Cruises, offer all inclusive drinks packages, which make their holidays even more affordable. With a choice of itineraries leaving the UK and ports overseas, Thomson's small, friendly ships are a great starting point for those who have never cruised before. Sail the Mediterranean, Baltic, Caribbean and even the Red Sea. These eclectic itineraries allow you to call in at some of the world's most relaxing ports, enjoying delicious food, spa treatments, colourful entertainment and great family facilities in between.

As well as Thomson, Hays also offer a choice of cruises with other less formal, more family-friendly cruise lines. Norwegian Cruise Line's unique 'Freestyle Cruising' concept means you can dine where you ...
... wish, when you wish and relax on board modern ships in a truly laid back atmosphere. Carnival cruises' unique selling point is that they're all about 'fun', meaning a holiday with them is guaranteed to offer non-stop entertainment and activities - and everlasting memories. Meanwhile, Royal Caribbean International have made their ships some of the most impressive at sea. Rock climbing walls are a standard feature on all their ships (naturally) and you'll also find other great facilities like ice rinks, surf simulators and breathtaking evening shows.

There's no sense of being 'trapped' when you're sailing on a modern cruise ship. Shopping malls, gyms, classes, sports, cinemas, workshops, pools, Jacuzzis and jogging tracks - there really is plenty to do. Even the smallest of ships make sure that they're packed with activities and entertainment that will never leave you feeling bored.

Cruise holidays are truly unique. How else can you wake up in a new destination every morning, feeling completely refreshed? Explore ancient ruins, cosmopolitan cities, stunning beaches and bustling ports - or just stay on board the ship and completely unwind. With a modern cruise holiday, the choice is yours. No wonder cruising is one of the fastest-growing holiday types.
