Cruise and stay holidays are quickly becoming one of the most popular ways to see multiple destinations making traveling the world a more exciting and flexible experience. Combining the freedom of a land based holiday and the best parks of a cruise, this unique style of travel is a favourite for people who want more than a traditional cruise experience. Whether you are seeking adventure, culture or pure relaxation as a seasoned traveller or looking to see what cruising has to offer as a first time cruiser, cruise and stay packages offer a perfect blend of leisure and immersion.
A cruise and stay holiday is exactly what it sounds like, a holiday package that combines a cruise sailing with a stay on land. These packages allow travellers to enjoy a few days on land at a destination of choice before or after enjoying the luxury and entertainment on board a cruise. For example, you might spend a few days in New York or Miami and explore the city before boarding a Caribbean cruise for a perfect blend of a city break and tropical paradise. Experiencing the historic city of Rome a few days before or after sailing on a Mediterranean cruise gives the appeal of multiple holidays in one. You can find cruise and stay packages that combine 5 star hotels, transfers, local excurisons, cruise and other luxuries, ensuring a smooth and convenient holiday experience while giving you a lot of flexibility. For a hassle free holiday, cruise and stay holidays from the UK are perfect for post cruise exploration while avoiding Airport lines.

While traditional cruises are still the most popular option and are a perfect option for travellers that want to see multiple destinations in a short period, they often restrict the time spent on each destination to a few hours. Cruise and stay holidays provide a more immersive travel experience with multiple days on land, giving travellers the opportunity to explore cities, beaches and attractions in more depth. This extended time ashore, unlike a traditional cruise where sightseeing can feel rushed, means you can explore local landmarks, dine at authentic local restaurants and experience more on land at a relaxed pace. Cruise and stay holidays give you more value for your fare, by combining two holidays together, you can cross off multiple destinations off your bucket list without breaking the bank. Additionally, cruise and stay packages appeal to a wider audience and are ideal for couples on adult-only cruises seeking romance, families who want a mixture of adventure and relaxation on family cruises or solo travellers who prefer flexibility. Whether you want to enjoy the nightlife in Barcelona, take a wine tour in Santorini or visit historical landmarks in Athens, these holidays offer the best of both worlds, the excitement of cruising and the freedom of a land holiday.
