Cruises – whether you love them, hate them or feel you have better things to do than think about them – aim to open up the world and remove barriers to travel.
“You only need to unpack once,” is the mantra of the industry – and the appeal is strong. You are staying in a luxury hotel that glides, apparently effortlessly, around the Mediterranean, the Baltic or the Caribbean. Each day you arrive at a different location, ready to explore; and at sunset you set sail for a new horizon, ideally with a drink in hand.
