Cruising is the fastest-growing sector of the travel industry. Last year, 2.3 million holidaymakers from the UK and Ireland chose to holiday at sea.

Cruise ships come in all shapes and sizes - from less than a hundred passengers to over 6,000

– and everywhere in between. Large ships tend to be lively with super-cool activities; they have a variety of pools, action- packed kids and teens clubs, multiple restaurants, and top-billing entertainment.

Smaller ships offer more ‘me-time’ and tend to sail to off-the-beaten-track ports. Life on board can offer the ultimate

chill-out or a continual social whirl; it's your choice. One aspect that always takes newbies by surprise is just how much is included on a cruise, unlike those niggling little extras that can be a bugbear on resort holidays. One great way to put your toe in the water is a mini-cruise that lasts from two to five nights. These are ideal for first-timers, as they're every bit as pukka as their longer cousins. The world might be your oyster, but when booking your first cruise, it's hard to know where to begin. Need inspiration? The experienced team at Hays Travel can give you the best advice. For travellers who want levels of service, cuisine, and comfort rarely found in hotels on land, cruising is a no-brainer.

Seaborne holidays represent fantastic value; your cruise package will include accommodation, superb food, spectacular shows, and fun-filled activities, plus, in many cases, flights and transfers. Also, with countless shore excursions on offer, cruising is by far the most convenient way to see the world. Cruising can take you to places you might not have considered before, such as Alaska, South America, and Asia, as well as the top picks of the Mediterranean, Scandinavia, and the Caribbean. Following a slick embarkation, you sail away to enchanting new destinations in as little as seven days without having to repack your bags. And best of all, you can leave your wallet in the safe, while the captain delivers breathtaking new vistas almost every day. If you prefer to swerve air travel, there are plenty of no-fly cruises that depart from ports across the UK. ? The answer, which a lot of non- cruisers are realising, is the huge amount of choice on offer for a broad spectrum of budgets. So why is cruising so popular?
