It’s full steam ahead for cruise vacations, observes Cruise Holidays
“More and more people are taking cruise vacations, because of the experience rather than the journey,” according to Cruise Holidays.

Reports suggest that one in 10 package vacations is now aboard a cruise liner, compared to one in 30 in 1997. Also, the average age of cruise passengers is falling. Most first time cruisers are now under the age of 40. As we all know, ships have carried people from destination A to destination B for centuries. But the cruise industry today is undergoing dramatic changes. The voyage, rather than the destination, is what many passengers are focusing on.
Today, taking a cruise is an experience in itself with celebrity entertainment, gourmet food, and a variety of programs that are attracting younger, more active passengers. Celebrity cruises ( http://www.cruiseholidays.com ), Holland America Line, Princess Cruises, and Carnival Cruise Lines are just a few of the recognized leaders in cruising. These cruise line companies entice their passengers with the ultimate in dining choices, spacious and comfortable accommodations, nonstop on board activities, and a plethora of fun adventure activities at each port of call.
“With cruising steadily receiving the highest customer satisfaction ratings in the history of the travel industry, a traveler can anticipate an experience that will delight his or her group in every aspect of the cruise. In fact, today's ships leave nothing to chance. And now, outside of the traditional family travelers, business groups are attracted to the attention given by the cruise staff. Currently, business groups have become one of the faster-growing elements in the entire cruise industry,” says Mark Schiffner, vice president of Cruise Holidays ( http://www.cruiseholidays.com ), whose travel franchise company arranges cruise vacations for clients across North America.
“The cruise industry has efficiently met the new demands of travelers. Cruises are now commonly chosen to commemorate occasions like weddings, honeymoons, reunions, and to celebrate milestones like graduations and retirements, however, for a traveler, selecting the right cruise for vacation can sometimes be a challenging task. Wide-ranging itineraries, staterooms, amenities, ship sizes, dining, and activities are just part of a large list of preferences that need to be considered. The differences between various cruises can be extensive. The last place to discover a cruise line doesn’t suit you is when you're miles out at sea. A conscientious travel expert will simplify the cruise process, and help the traveler select the best cruise line that meets their criteria,” adds Schiffner.
