Book Description
The only guide purpose-designed for the British cruise goer (as opposed to the American market), this is the sixth edition from cruise expert and enthusiast Simon Veness, who also edits World of Cruising magazine and contributes regularly to other publications on this specialist subject. The Brit's Guide has quickly become a vital reference source for anyone considering their next - or first - cruise, and is especially geared to introducing newcomers to this complex but fascinating holiday type. If you've ever wondered what a cruise is all about, this book will convince you that being all at sea is really highly desirable. It also contains the annual Brit's Guide Cruise Awards, a kind of maritime 'Oscars' lauding the best of the best, and offers a unique ratings system that cuts through the hype and makes each ship instantly understandable.
From the Author
When it comes to value-for-money holidays, there are few things that beat a cruise. Sadly, the popular misconception is that this is something only for the elderly or well-to-do, and many people simply do not consider cruising because of these kind of myths. The simple truth, however, is that the modern cruise world is a dynamic, fun-packed alternative to land-based resorts, with guaranteed family appeal and much more besides. It boasts the highest satisfaction ratio of ANY major holiday type and is one of the most innovative in terms of facilities and entertainment (where else could you go ice-skating, visit a casino and health spa, take in an art auction, go to the theatre, enjoy six meals a day and walk to the nightclub, all under one roof?). Of course, cruising is also a complicated and, at times, bewildering business. It varies from budget to genuine ultra-deluxe style, and the onboard ambience can be British, American, German, Greek or even Russian. With more than 200 ships from which to choose, sailing in all parts of the world, there is most definitely a cruise for you - the trick is to make sure you find the right one. Choosing A Cruise will most definitely ensure you make the correct choice and get the maximum anticipation and enjoyment out of your holiday at sea - and I guarantee you will be an instant convert to this captivating, charming and, yes, romantic, world.
