Indians have discovered the joy and excitement of a cruise holiday. What caught their attention was the free style cruising introduced by Star Cruises in the late 1990s that made them feel comfortable and it was the perfect family vacation. The outbound cruise market is estimated at about 80,000 passengers and we are seeing a growth of about 20 per cent per annum.
However, Star Cruises continue to dominate the outbound cruise industry as they have cornered 80 per cent market share in the Indian market. The trend is is slowly changing and the signs are there to see with many long haul cruise companies such as Princess Cruises, Celebrity Cruises and Royal Carribean entering the fray.
Royal Carribean has an excellent itinerary that’s called the Spanish Fiesta with an itinerary of five nights and six days. It covers Spain and France and the ship’s called Navigator of the seas. Navigator of the Seas is packed with excitement. Fill your days at sea with ice-skating, miniature golf, simulated golf, and rock climbing 200 feet over the sea. Sign up for kickboxing lessons or yoga at the high-tech spa and fitness center. In the evening, dining options include an elegant three-level dining room, the 50s-style Johnny Rockets, Chops Grille for prime cuts, Portofino for Italian specialties, and more. You may not even eat at the same restaurant twice! Pools, whirlpools, spectacular live entertainment, and an extraordinary children’s program round out this floating paradise. Ezeego1.com has some excellent offers on this product and its worth checking it out.
Wow that’s what Indians love. Something for the entire family.
Indians being experiential travellers also have other options like the Star Princess that sails in the Alaskan waters and touch the US, Alaska and British Columbia and the tour duration is for eight nights and nine days. According to some it is a chance to experience the real Alaska, come to where the mountains are taller, the rivers mightier and the wildlife more plentiful than any place else on earth. This is cruising Alaska. A rugged, untamed wilderness where the forests go on forever and the summer days never end. Alaska is a pristine wilderness of ice-blue glaciers, snow-capped mountain peaks and huge whales breaking the surface of crystalline waters.
So what are you waiting for just sail away…..
