If you want the thrill of a cruise but also want to spend a few days exploring your destination then a Cruise and Stay holiday is the ideal package.
Cruise and Stay holidays give you the best of both worlds and are the ultimate holiday for relaxation and flexibility. You can start your holiday off on a cruise ship enjoying all the ship’s entertainment and once you get to your destination you can check into your hotel and have the benefit of exploring the place. Alternatively you could start your holiday on land and then end it with a relaxing cruise to take you back home.
Cruise and Stay holidays are ideal for people who are unsure about whether they’ll enjoy a cruise but want to try it, yet still want the guarantee of having a great holiday. If this sounds like you then opt for a Cruise and Stay holiday which combines a cruise with a more traditional style of holiday.
Cruise and Stay holidays enhance a traditional style holiday because the cruise part will visit more than one port giving you the opportunity to see more places than you would have from a typical land holiday.
On your Cruise and Stay holiday you’ll need to combine what you know about traditional land holidays with cruise holiday information. For example, while meals and activities on the ship are usually part of the package price, meals on shore and any excursions will need to be paid for.
Cruise and Stay trips are available for several destinations and a varied number of days. You can spend 3 days on land followed by a week at sea, or 4 days on board spending the rest of your holiday on land.
