The Cruise Line Luxury Cruise Destinations 2015
Now is the perfect time to start thinking about booking your 2015 luxury cruise holiday. The best offers are available along with the chance to hand-pick your stateroom or suite and of course once booked, you have another wonderful adventure to begin looking forward too.
I decided to take a look at what our customers were planning and came up with a list of the top 5 cruise regions (so far) for 2015 based on our booking trends. I suppose it is no surprise that the tropical beaches and lush clear waters pinned the Caribbean as the firm favourite! Next in line is the beautiful Asian region followed by the colourful Mediterranean, culturally awesome South America and last but not least Northern Europe with its deep historical roots.
I have also highlighted some voyages for each region that I am sure will get you in the cruise mood.
Caribbean
The tropical Caribbean, it draws thousands of us to its Islands every year and we keep going back for more. Overflowing with natural beauty, the temptation of delicious and exotic cuisine and of course the chance to snorkel in some of the best waters in the world, we are not surprised that our customers rate it as the number one cruise destination.
