APT Luxury River cruise brochure 2013

River cruising is a market that's grown massively in the last year or so and that trend is only going to continue. It's with that thought in  mind that I'll be uploading some river cruise brochures for you for 2013/2014 over the next few days that you will be able to view online.

Happy, (river) cruising

Royal confirm new mega ship

I love big ships! Royal Caribbeans Independence of the Seas, NCLs Epic - The bigger the better as far as I'm concerned. 
Two ships I'm desperate to see, (but have avoided up till now because of the flight times with two young children in tow), are the Oasis and Allure of the Seas so I was particularly happy to hear that, thanks to better than expected third quarter profits this year, RCCL have just announced that they are in the process of negotiating a new 'Oasis style' mega liner that will be ready for 2016.

Hurricane season - I told you so.

I'm not one to say I told you so, (not normally anyway), but it is nice to be proved right sometimes.
One of the questions that always bugs me slightly is whats the best time to book a cruise to the Caribbean? Do I need to worry about hurricane season?
Well yes you do, if you're booking a land based holiday but the beauty of a cruise holiday is that it's on a ship so if the Captain sees a storm coming on his chart he can just go somewhere else. I realise that a change of itinerary isn't always everyones favourite option but if it's that or stormy waters I know which I'd pick. I first wrote about this back in July 2010 and you can see what I wrote by clicking here.
The reason I'm talking about this is that there's a great example at the moment of how flexible a cruise holiday can be.................
