WEEKEND CRUISES

Weekend cruises never seem to get the credit they deserve, which is kind of odd, when you consider how inexpensive they are, compared to land options.  On top of this, they are loaded to the gunnels with so many bonuses, that they easily outstrip the competition pricewise.

After all, where else can you get accommodation, all the food you can eat, free entertainment, room service daily, shopping, exclusive dining venues and total relaxation in one package? And you only have to unpack once and let the rest fall into someone else’s hands.

Of course, you do have to find an exit port, but that is generally part of the whole holiday planning process and often a fun add-on too. After all, ships frequent big capital cities, so you might as well throw in a bit more glamour into your holiday break.

CONSIDERATIONS

Use a Travel Agency

Expert advice is free, so use it!

Companies like BlueSun Travel can make a huge difference, because their agents have to undergo training and accreditation. This may often include first-hand experiences on board cruise ships themselves, as well as required industry courses each year. In short, they are experts, because they earned that status.

Choosing the right cruise holiday is another minefield to walk through. The media (and probably your email inboxes) constantly bombard you with information, from the very moment you breath the word “holiday”! Having a professional agent on your side, to filter the good from the bad, is an awesome benefit. They know the tricks of the trade and can invariably assist with every component of your trip, including land, air and insurance.

Plan Ahead

The rule of the game is to plan as far into the future as you can. Yes, you can get deals all the time, but these are often the “leftovers” and not the best choices. Moreover, cruise prices are inventory loaded which means as cabins sell, they are programmed to do one thing and that is to go upwards! Some cruise lines, like Ponant, will always offer a 30% discount, as an opening price, the moment a cruise is released.

Last Minute Deals

Last Minute Cruises are immensely popular and the moment a cruise deal is listed on the market, it is like watching a fish feeding frenzy, as cabins are snapped up. Look out for some great weekend or short break escapes. There are always 2 or 3 night weekend cruise packages.
