Three reasons a cruise can be a cheaper holiday

Posted on 11 Oct 2010

Travel insurance – this can be a major expense and one that you haven’t budgeted for, but because cruise travel means that you’re in a safe environment on-board, no matter where you travel, the insurance cost can be much lower than if you were taking a shore holiday in the same region.
Big ships are floating resorts – whilst onshore you end up paying extra for all kinds of treats, when you’re on a cruise ship the night clubs and swimming pools, movie screenings and shows are usually free, and you will find that there’s only a small premium to pay for extras such as premier onboard dining that would cost a fortune for the same celebrity chef ashore.
Fellow passengers are a resource – everybody knows that romance can begin at sea, but it’s not just those seeking love who can find great companions on board. Other cruise passengers can be a fantastic source of information and fun, they come from all around the world, some of them share your passions and interests and there will be a group of passengers that you find to be real soulmates.
