Do you think it’s time you went on a holiday where you could truly relax? You might have thought about jetting off for a beach or island getaway where you can do nothing more than lounge on the sand and go paddling in the crystal-clear waters. But why not try something a little different and book yourself onto a cruise? That way, you’ll be able to spend plenty of time chilling out on the ship and also enjoying some days exploring the port cities in which you stop off at. What’s more, the majority of cruise liners are all-inclusive, so you will be able to indulge in a lot of tasty food and drink!

Once you decide to go on a cruise, you need to choose the region you want to visit. Here are a few of the best for cruise holidays.

The Baltic Coast

The Baltic Coast may sound pretty cold but, trust me, if you go in the summer then you certainly won’t feel any chill at all! Most of the cruises that sail along the coast will take you to the Nordic capitals, including Stockholm and Copenhagen. You can also expect to stop off in Tallinn, Estonia’s capital, as well as St. Petersburg in Russia. Some even stop-off in one of Germany’s northern ports. It’s a great way to discover an area of the world that you might not have thought to otherwise travel to!

Australia And New Zealand

Did you know that there are also cruises that take you around the coasts of Australia and New Zealand? You can choose a cruise that just takes in one of the countries but, if you have plenty of time off work, then there are a few cruises that will sail between the two as well. Most of the cruise companies that operate in this region will offer flight packages as well, so you don’t have to worry about traveling to Australia or New Zealand on top of organising the cruise. These packages can be quite expensive, though, but if you take a look at the Bolsover’s cruise holidays, you might be able to find a few great deals. You might actually be surprised at how much cruise trips can be discounted by if you look at these websites!

The Mediterranean

If you want to combine a cruise trip with a beach holiday, then you might want to find a cruise route that takes you through the Mediterranean. You will be stopping off in ports in countries such as Italy, Spain, and Greece, and when you have a day in a port, you will be able to head down to the nearest beach. This will be a great opportunity to each some great local cuisines as well. You can fill your boots with fresh pasta in Italy and taste some of the best tomatoes in Spain. Delicious!

So, where will you head off to on your very first cruise? If it is one of the regions above, I’m sure you will thoroughly enjoy it!
