What’s new on the big blue!
Cruise lines battle to rule the waves with
incredible new ships, sights, delights and destinations
From sky-diving
simulators and top deck picnic lawns to planetariums and vertical-drop water
slides, cruise ship design has reached a whole new level as shipping companies
go to extremes to attract passengers. Now
the cruise giants are battling to offer the best incentives to book early for
2017 with ‘free flights, buy one cruise fare get one half price, free upgrades,
free drinks packages and lots more. Cruising is becoming
increasingly popular with Irish holidaymakers with over 35,000 people expected
to hit the high seas by the end of 2016.
According to top Irish cruise agency e-travel, it is the fastest-growing sector of the holiday market
and with some clever planning, there are now some great bargains on the big
blue!
2016 has been a good year so far for
Irish travel bookings and sales are up as much as 46% for some agents with many
holidaymakers cruising the luxury end of the market. Cruise ships are
often referred to as floating hotels and in some cases they are more like
floating cities. You can choose the massive ships like Royal Caribbean’s
Harmony of the Seas, the $1Billion largest ship in the world, or smaller
intimate river cruises which carry less than one hundred passengers. Some of the new ships and destinations on
offer for 2017 from Irish leading cruise agency e-Travel include:
1.
In May 2017 MSC will launch MSC Meraviglia which will become the largest ship in the world
(beating Oasis, Allure and Harmony of the Seas), holding a maximum capacity of
5,700 passengers and 1,536 crew members.
The ship will feature Cirque de Soleil at sea, The Carousel Lounge - a
circular performance space with a 180° circular glass wall and a
Mediterranean-style indoor promenade, which will feature an 80-meter LED
"sky" that changes throughout the day. It will be the social centre
of the ship, featuring shops, restaurants and bars. It will also be home to the
nightly parades with the ship's onboard performers. The ship will also have a double-deck indoor
amusement park and a double-deck aft lounge and entertainment space.
2.
Modern
luxury cruise brand Celebrity Cruises
will have five award-winning ships in Europe for 2017-2018 – Celebrity
Reflection, Celebrity Equinox, Celebrity Constellation, Celebrity Eclipse and
Celebrity Silhouette. The premium line’s richest season yet offers 86
overnights in 24 vibrant cities and four double overnight stays in Europe. New
for Celebrity Cruises, Celebrity Eclipse will take guests to one of the
premier sporting events of the year: The French Open. This holiday includes VIP
tickets to the men’s and women’s final matches.
3.
Popular Cruise Line Royal Caribbean International will be bringing their Freedom of the Seas Ship to Europe for
the 1st time sailing from Barcelona for Summer 2107. Freedom
of the Seas is one of the most popular ships with Irish People cruising in
the Caribbean because it has incredible features such as a Rock Climbing Wall with eleven routes up;
a spectacular FlowRider surf simulator, a waterpark, cantilevered whirlpools stretching
out over the ocean and the magical DreamWorks experience for families.
4.
Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) has announced its ground-breaking
summer 2017 deployment for Europe that, for the first time in company history,
features five ships sailing in European waters in the summer season. Highlights
of the new itineraries include cruises to the Baltic Capitals on Norwegian
Getaway from Copenhagen and a first ever complete season from Hamburg on
Norwegian Jade, with embarkation for those cruises also available in the UK and
Amsterdam. In addition to the European sailings, Norwegian also revealed
details on Norwegian Escape’s 2017 summer cruises to the Caribbean from Miami.
5.
The 40,000-ton Silver Muse arriving in Spring 2017 will be the largest ship in the
Silversea fleet and the first vessel
in a new three-ship class. Silversea describes the intimate 596-passenger ship
as a step toward "ultra-luxury ocean cruising." It will feature
all-suite accommodations and a supper club-style specialty restaurant.
Traveling on cruise is listed on my bucket list and hopefully soon I'll be able to ride one of these cruise ship together with my family. I've heard horror stories about other cruise ship in freshessays.com review and I'm pretty sure I don't want to experience those as well.

You might notice that on Scamfighter they place test orders with different sites to make sure that they have the most relevant information, and there is no place for mistakes. If you do not agree with their opinion, okay, go ahead and place the edubirdie review under their post or discuss it in their forum. An actual person manages the service and he can see all the complaints you submit, so he can send you an email or call you if you need his assistance. He hates guys who do that but, after all, no one can say that his reviews are fake!
ReplyDeleteI wish I can travel via one of those ships presented on the pictures. It looks very expensive though, so I might as well star earning some savings right now. Boats are very fun to ride, it just feels so good to travel across the oceans, feeling the wind touching your skin. It's kind of same with yacht's but to be honest, I would prefer to be in a big boat than the latter. I just think that the yacht is too small to explore. essay writing company reviews
