Have you noticed that many of your friends seem to be cruising on their vacations these days? As cruising rises in popularity, you may be wondering if this type of travel is for you and your family as well.
If you’ve been considering hitting the open seas, here are some top reasons why you may want to try cruising in 2019:
More travel in less time
If you’re like most people, you probably only get a few days of vacation every year. This can be hard if you’re passionate about travel, especially since there are so many amazing destinations waiting to be explored.
This is why cruising is a great option. You’ll get to see numerous destinations, without actually having to get yourself from point a to point B. The average seven-day cruise will often visit between four and five destinations. If you were to do this in your own time, you wouldn’t have a chance to actually see any of those destinations. Instead, you’d be checking in and out of hotels, and traveling between each place.
On a cruise, not only do you get to see more, but you get to enjoy some much-needed downtime while you’re being transported from each destination. Instead of dealing with airports or train stations, you’ll be lying by the pool, grabbing a workout in the gym, shopping on board, or enjoying the spa facilities.
All-inclusive life
Vacations can be expensive. Especially when you’re constantly putting your hand in your pocket. But that’s why cruising is such a great option, especially for families. Your cruise fare includes accommodation, transportation, food, entertainment, and you can even prepay your gratuities. Cruise excursions can also be booked in advance, making it much easier to budget – especially if you’re traveling with family.
Cruises are remarkably affordable- there are some great cruise offers available online, especially if you’re flexible with dates.
Only unpack one
Let’s face it, the worst part of traveling is constantly packing and unpacking your bags. When you cruise, you’ll unpack once, and everything you need will be within easy reach. You’ll then return back to your ship and your things at the end of every day.
It’s easy to see why so many people preferred to cruise compared to the traditional vacations. Many people put off going on vacation simply because they can’t be bothered with the stress involved. But cruising removes much of this stress so you get to refresh, relax, and see the world.
