season. With destinations as diverse as Italy, the Greek Islands, the
Caribbean, Costa Rica, and the Baltics, and the added benefit of not having

many more people are hopping on board. So book your Here are some
ideas to help you 2011 cruise holiday planning.

Disney!
Exciting news for the young (and especially the young at heart), Disney
Cruise Line is about to launch its brand new cruiseliner, the Disney Dream
in the USA. The huge ship features giant on-deck waterslides, virtual
portholes, and themed nurseries for children of all different ages. There's
plenty for adults too, with 6 themed restaurants, movie theatres, 11 bars
and nightclubs, and luxurious sleeping accommodation, all with that corny
Disney magic that we all love (whether we admit it or not!) The ship makes
its maiden voyage on January 26 2011, with subsequent trips to the
Bahamas, Caribbean, Mexican Riviera, and Europe. Daily flights to the USA
can be found online.

Australia
If you prefer something closer to home, discover one of Australia's lesser-
travelled stretches of coastline. A trip from Cairns to Darwin on Coral
Princess Cruises' Oceanic Discoverer boutique cruise ship. Their '11-night
Across The Top' makes 11 stops along the coast between Cairns and
Darwin, allowing you to experience amazing views and food along the way.
Flights to Cairns can be found easily on all major Australian airlines.

Alaska
If you're already holidaying in Canada or the USA, an Alaskan Glacier cruise
is an ever-popular way to experience breathtaking views of something
other than palm trees and beaches. Flights to Canada and USA fly daily out
of all major airports, and once you're there, you can make the trip to Alaska
into an adventure in itself. The Alaska Highway is known for its scenery,
and is easily accessible from both British Columbia, and by highways
leading from Montana and Washington in the USA.


Of course these are just some of the many cruise holidays on offer for the
year, so it's worth shopping around to get the best deal depending on
where you want to visit. Bon voyage!
