All inclusive cruises have become something of a travel industry phenomenon in recent years, with plenty of travellers enjoying the benefits of booking with a single fixed price.
With this in mind, we thought we’d give you a rundown of the main reasons we think all inclusive cruises have become so popular over recent years, and why you should consider taking the plunge and booking one for yourself.
Drinks Packages
Imagine sailing around the world without having to cope with a bar tab. Well imagine no longer. One of the finest things about all inclusive cruises is that many cruise lines offer drinks packages, all part of a single price.
Fancy a cocktail? There’s no need to reach for your wallet. You can relax on the sun deck, drinking in the sun and a mojito, enjoying the knowledge that the next one is free. And the one after that. Why bother with the stress of clocking up a bar tab when you can have it dealt with before you even step onto the ship?
Dining
For many cruisers, all-inclusive cruises are the pinnacle of gastronomic delight. With plenty of cruise lines taking their dining options to the next level, there’s never been a better time to have gourmet dining included in just one payment.
From celebrity endorsed restaurants, to specialist regional eateries, there’s no denying that cruise dining has become a major part of the experience for many cruisers. Choosing all inclusive cruises means you’ll never have to miss out on the newest culinary delights, all while never being out of pocket.
Shore Excursions
Shore excursions are one of the sure fire ways to have a breathtaking cultural experience while cruising, but the logistics can be a nightmare. With all inclusive cruises, not only can you forget those worries about shelling out for guides and excursions, but you can organise your prime choice of shore adventures in advance. From museum trips in the heart of Barcelona, to wine tasting in the fantastic vineyards of the French countryside, you won’t have to miss a single thrilling moment.
On Board Spends and Other Bonuses
And then, for everything your all inclusive cruises package won’t take care of, there’s always the exclusive add-ons many cruise lines have adopted as a brilliant method to reward customers.
If you fancy a shopping spree in the on board boutiques, the extra complimentary cash that often comes with all-inclusive cruising can be an absolute dream. With other bonuses giving cruisers money off suite upgrades, complimentary chauffeur transfers, and even free flights, it’s always a wise choice to indulge in all inclusive cruises.
