There are so many factors to consider, from the cruise brand and the type of ship to the destination and of course, when you want to travel. If you are seasoned cruiser, you need to decide whether you want to try a new destination or stick with your tried and tested travel region, but on a different cruise ship.

Certain routes tend to operate at certain times, for example, winter-sun seekers should track down Caribbean cruises, whilst families looking to plan for the school holidays in summer 2012 should look no further than a Mediterranean or Canary Islands cruise.
