Article Directory :: Travel & Leisure Articles A guide to low cost cruising By Jez Rourke Republish: EasyPublish™ Published: 21Nov2009 Word count: 405 Viewed: 325 time(s) Get Free Content For Your Site Cruise holidays are the perfect mix of fun and relaxation - afloat and ashore - where couples, groups of friends and individuals can mingle easily and families feel at home. For most of us, a cruise holiday is for people who want to discover the best of the Mediterranean or Caribbean without having to carry their bags around with them. They sail to a new place each night so you only have to unpack once. Unconventional, individual, easy going - that's the whole philosophy of cruise ships. Cruises are perfect to go see some sights and chill out. Cruise lines recognise the value of selling every last cabin, even at a fraction of the regular price. But to protect the full-fare business they receive from traditional travel agents, cruise lines will not allow many of the deals to be advertised in newspapers or magazines, or on television. Finding that holiday cruise deal from a selection of discounted and cheap cruises in recent press adverts and newsletters is pain taking, Most of these offers are posted on web sites first, by checking back regularly as they change these offers frequently you can snap up the best cheap holiday cruise deal before they are published. Booking six to nine months in advance usually yields a saving. A last minute cruise holiday when the ship isn't fully booked also results in lower prices. To encourage early bookings or to energize slow sales, cruise lines often offer special promotional fares, such as two for one price offers, 50% off the second passenger, and discounts on the equipment you can use onboard. If there's a third or fourth person sharing the stateroom, their per person price is often much less than for the first and second persons (A single occupancy - one person in a stateroom designed for two or more - usually costs much more.) For example, the first and second person pay £1,000 each and the third person pays £500. A single, on the other hand, would pay £1,500. Another thing to look out for is the higher the deck the stateroom is on, the higher the price. Cruise holidays don't have to be expensive, particularly if you can take advantage or a re-positioning cruises when vessels are moving from general holiday cruise area to another, are almost always a bargain when vessels are moving from general holiday cruise area to another, are almost always a bargain or a discounted last-minute cruise. directline-cruises provides you with the latest cruise holidays, including Caribbean cruises and Mediterranean cruises, as well as essential informaton on cruise lines, cruise ships, ships cabins and full cruise itineraries from every major cruise line including Cunard, Carnival, MSC, Norwegian, Royal Caribbean, Princess, Fred Olsen and P&O cruises.
