Why Cruising is My Favorite - and Might be Yours as Well

🌴 Why Cruising Is My Favorite Way to Travel (And Why It Might Be Yours Too!)
By Robin Holliday, Travel Consultant

Imagine this: You open your eyes to a shimmering sunrise, and you're not just in a new place, but a whole new destination. The best part? You haven’t touched your suitcase since you first unpacked. Welcome to the world of cruising — it's not just my favorite way to travel, but potentially your new favorite too!

I've been fortunate enough to create unforgettable memories with some of the industry’s top cruise liners. I've experienced the exhilaration of the Royal Caribbean with its thrilling activities and awe-inspiring vessels. I've luxuriated with Celebrity Cruises, soaking in their upscale relaxation and gastronomical attractions, and I've embraced the unconventional style of Virgin Voyages – an exclusively adult environment that takes relaxation to a whole new level (did I mention the hammocks on the balcony?). Each voyage is a unique journey, but there’s one constant — boundless, effortless adventure.

However, if I had to share one cruiser’s secret, it'd be this: the absolute favorite part of cruising isn’t even about being on board the ship. Instead, it's about the journey beyond it.

There's an incomparable joy in immersing yourself in the port cities that your accomodation cruises into. Whether it means meandering through bustling local bazaars, savoring authentic cuisines at sidewalk cafes, exploring offbeat beaches, or engaging with the locals to uncover hidden spots – every explorer’s dream is satiated. Structured tours are beneficial, but the thrill of unearthing hidden gems cannot be matched.

The real magic of a cruise lies in letting you not just see the world, but truly feel it. And this is the kind of unique, experiential journey I love orchestrating for my clients.

If the idea of cruising in comfort, exploring in style, and indulging in a dash of spontaneity appeals to you, I'm here to help plan your next epic escapade. Whether you're a first-time cruiser or a seasoned sailor, the allure of the next port is forever enchanting. As your travel consultant, I'll ensure you savor every moment of this extraordinary journey.
