What is a Stay and Cruise Holiday

Cruises remain one of the most luxurious and popular forms of holiday in the world. However, they’re certainly not for everyone; some people simply like to get out and explore the regions they’re visiting a bit more, or to spend some time sipping cocktails by the beach, rather than on the ship itself. For those people, a cruise and stay holiday could be the right combination between luxury and exploration.

Essentially, a cruise and stay holiday is just what it sounds like. Various holiday operators, such as Princess Cruises, are keen to offer holidaymakers what they really want, and for many of them, that is the chance to enjoy some time on land before (or immediately following) their cruise. Typically, a cruise and stay holiday will offer holidaymakers the chance to spend a few days enjoying the port cities, either before they set off or after they arrive. One of the pluses is that a cruise and stay gives you some chance to individualise your holiday; essentially, it’s up to you how long you choose to stay in the locations, and whereabouts in the course of the journey you do so.

Cruise and stay holidays are typically all-inclusive packages, so you don’t have to worry about the additional costs racking up, and you can deal with one main company. Some of the extras included are typically accommodation, transportation from your overnight hotel to the cruise terminal and transportation to and from the airport if you’re flying into the port city.

These kind of holiday are becoming more and popular amongst holidaymakers, and it’s not too hard to see why; whilst there’s something wonderfully relaxing and luxurious about a cruise around the med, you simply just don’t get the same feeling that you would if you stayed on one of the islands for a night, and many people consider that feeling of really being there, as a vital part of the travel experience. Cruise and stays offer the best of both worlds, whether you’d prefer to enjoy a few days on land before setting off, or want to end your cruise with a week by the beach.

Cruise and stays are also becoming available at more and more different locations, giving you the chance to explore some wonderful destination combinations.
