WHY CHOOSE A CRUISE FOR YOUR VACATION?
|
|
|
|
|
|
More than eight million people from around the
world went on a cruise during the last year, choosing from among the 30,000 offered by companies. Why are these vacations so popular? Essentially because they let you totally get away and
take a complete break from your current routine. They let you have lots of freedom, making sure you'll get the vacation of your dreams and that everything you need will be at your disposal. Everything
will be planned and organized by attentive staff persons who want to make your stay as pleasant as possible.

But you've surely heard it said however that ...
|
|
|
|
|
"Cruises are just for old people": Nothing could be further from the truth! The ages of cruise
goers are decreasing every year, and now averaging about 40. And even if there are some older people, there are more and more young couples coming on board with or without children, and there are
lots of singles, both women and men.
|
|
|
"People do nothing but drink during a cruise": There are of course lots of occasions for having a drink
(cocktails, parties, evening events...) but, just like elsewhere, you drink only if you want of it. There is a wide range of possible activities, both during the day and evening, and you're not
obliged to drink just to have a bit of fun.
|
|
|
|
|
"Cruises are just for couples": Not true, 25% of people on cruises are single. Cruises are a
very great way to meet new people and new acquaintances.
|
|
|
"To go on a cruise, you need to really dress well": This obviously depends on the cruise you choose.
Perhaps on a "luxury" cruise you'll take pleasure in dressing in luxury clothes, but on the majority of cruises, dress codes tend to be more relaxed. Although on some evenings (one or two
in general) dress codes may be more sophisticated, the rest of time you'll be wearing your more comfortable clothes, easy to wear and to care for.
|
|
|
|
|
"Cruises are really expensive": Naturally a cruise will cost more than a stay in the country, in a motel
or at a beach. But given everything that's included on cruises (meals, shows, sports or other activities, animation, discovering new things and places to visit) they compare very favorably with staying in a hotel of
a category similar to that of the ship you've selected.
