Filed under: cruise — freetraffic @ 10:38 pm

Last Saturday one of the biggest cruise ship Crown Princess stopped in dock in Liverpool. The ship was sailing around British Isles. In length the British Isles is 315,121,673.9 square metres long. In the British Isles there are over 6000 islands including England and Ireland. The stunning Princess Crown is the part of Fred Olsen cruises which can carry upto four thousand eight hundred people including crew and passengers.

While touring around the Isles, the cruise ship stopped for eleven hours in Liverpool. This gave the passengers the opportunity to view iconic histories of Liverpool which also included the football stadium of Liverpool. From Liverpool it head towards Greenock which is on the west coast of Scotland but before Greenock it would stop in Belfast.

The cruise of the British Isles takes 12 days. Per person the cruise cost can be upto £1,956 and it’s worth it. Princess Crown began operation in 2006. And from 2009 during the winter the Princess Crown sails to the Caribbean and in the summer it sails to Europe. It is one of some luxury cruises which has built in apartments on board and it might even be the only one which has that. I have always wanted to try luxury cruises again and after seeing the Crown Princess in Liverpool I definitely am going on a cruise soon. And I think it might even be Crown Princess this winter which sails to the Caribbean. I am sure my wife would love that surprise.

My previous cruise has been in Princess cruises , which was a great vacation as we sailed in the Mediterranean Sea. Around the World cruise holiday has always been a very popular one for the families. Most people say cruises are for elder generation but these days all cruises have activities for people with any ages. So anyone can go on a cruise and have a fantastic time.

Currently the best three European cruise lines are below:

Taking A European Cruise Holiday – Great Value And Wonderful Entertainment


Filed under: cruise — freetraffic @ 9:45 pm

The luxury cruise holiday has been having something of resurgence over the past few years with both families and couples. The cruise companies have tried very hard over the last few years to improve the reputation of the cruise vacation from being one of formality and stuffiness to one of fun and entertainment for all of the family. The way luxury cruise holidays have been re-marketed has been amazing with brand, new bigger and better ships being made all the time making the vacations available even more fun. The destinations that are available to cruise to now are also more varied than ever before with the European cruise market getting ever more popular as each year goes by. So what are the top tips for taking a cruise holiday, what cabin should you go for and where should you head?

Taking a cruise holiday used to be something of an extravagance but now the prices of a two week cruise have come right down and are as competitive as taking a two week vacation at any decent hotel in a tourist location. The beauty of a cruise holiday is that you can choose to spend more on your accommodation by opting for a better cabin or if you are on a tight budget you can opt for a lesser cabin. The cabins that have a view and a balcony are always going to be more expensive and sought after but for a much lesser price you can get a cabin in the centre of the ship with no view but still very nice indeed. You still get the use of all of the facilities and when you bear in mind that your room is only there to sleep in you might wonder whether it is really worth all of the extra expense for a view and a balcony.

Taking a cruise around Europe can be a wonderful vacation as you get to see lots of new and exciting places in one vacation that you might never have had chance to visit before in a relatively short space of time. Most two week vacations will spend the first few days cruising to give you a chance to familiarise yourself with everything onboard the ship and then for the next 7 – 8 days will stop at a different port, offering you the chance to get back on to dry land and do a spot of sight-seeing and shopping.

Destinations such as Barcelona, Monte Carlo, Venice, Rome, Sardinia, Sicily, Valencia and Naples are always very popular locations with the European cruise companies and offer the tourists a taste of some totally different towns and cities. Where else would you get to visit so many beautiful places on one holiday without spending a month away from home? By studying the destinations that the European cruises visit it is possible to visit totally different locations every time that you take a luxury cruise holiday

A European cruise really does offer a great value for money vacation enabling you to visit and see some of Europe’s finest cities as well as have some good time at sea with some great entertainment thrown in.
