No longer the sole preserve of the rich, cruise holidays are now an affordable and popular option with holidaymakers everywhere.

Ideally, you should book a cruise which leaves from your native country and (if possible) near to where you live. You will have enough things to think about when you are embarking on your maiden cruise, without the hassle of having to catch a flight.
