Cruise Holidays: Where will you go?
For many holidaymakers, choosing a summer holiday usually means opting for a week or two in a single resort, maybe taking the odd day trip or hiring a car to drive around and see the sights. But with a cruise you’ll get to see not just one but several great destinations within the same amount of time – and you won’t have to worry about hire cars or finding public transport. It’s a great way of visiting many new and exciting places whilst still having the chance to kick back and relax.

But contrary to popular opinion, a week or two on a cruise ship needn’t break the bank. Thanks to increased competition between tour operators, many prices have been slashed and cruise deals abound in order to secure your custom – which is good news for holidaymakers, particularly if you’re thinking of trying a cruise for the first time. If that’s the case, it’s worth trying a mini cruise first to help you get the taste of life onboard. On mini cruises you’ll normally visit one main destination over two nights, often sailing from a UK port on a round trip. Despite the length you’ll still get to enjoy the full cruise experience and it’s a great way of introducing yourself to this unique style of holiday.
When choosing a cruise it’s always worth going with a reputable tour operator. Whether you’re after a week in the Mediterranean, a fortnight’s trip around the Caribbean or a short break on a mini cruise Thomas Cook has a wide range of options on offer to suit every taste and budget. Having teamed up with numerous cruise operators to expand its portfolio, you’ll find plenty of cruise options and exciting itineraries to suit budget-conscious families, romantic couples and just about everyone in-between.
