Over the recent years and decades cruising has gained popularity, with more people than ever before choosing a cruise as their vacation each and every year. Over 35 million people have cruised in 2024, with the numbers ticking up every year since the pandemic. For those who have never cruised before, the question arises: why is cruising so popular?
At Harr Travel, we have cruised for years, and know the ins-and-outs of cruising, the different brands, and the hundreds of ships currently operating. We are going to break down 5 reasons why cruising is the best way to travel, and should be considered for your next vacation.
1.) Minimal Planning
One of the best parts about cruising is that it takes minimal planning. You don't have to worry about booking multiple hotels, getting from point a to point b, finding restaurants to eat at, etc. Your Harr Travel advisors can also book your flights, shore excursions, and so much more! While you will want to make specialty dining, shore excursion, and spa reservations in advance, these are all things your advisor can assist you with.
2.) Staying in One Place
Unlike other forms of travel where you want to experience several destinations in one vacation, on a cruise you will never have to change hotel rooms. You can travel to different countries, cities, islands, and even continents on a cruise, and come back to the same room each and every night. No need to unpack and move to the next hotel every few days; on a cruise, everything stays in one spot and yet travel around the globe!
3.) The Staff
One of the unique and beautiful aspects of cruising is the happy and attentive staff. This will stand out, especially on your first cruise. The staff onboard cruise ships are highly trained, and part of their job is to be friendly and pleasant. You will never pass a member of the crew without them nodding and saying "hello", and by the end of your cruise, they will be your second family. You will start to recognize the same faces in the hall outside your cabin, at dinner, or behind the guest services desk. No hotel or resort on land will give you quite the same service as on a cruise ship.
4.) Included Food & Entertainment
No matter if you are sailing on a mass-market, premium, or luxury cruise ship, there are always included dining options onboard. You won't need to worry or plan out where you will go to eat, because all the options are right there in front of you. In addition, the entertainment onboard cruises is free, offering guests spectacular broadway-style productions, musical soirees, stand-up comedy routines, rock band performances, and more...no tickets required!
5.) Endless Activities
One thing is for sure, on a cruise ship you will never be bored. While you may be stuck at sea for the whole day on sea days, there will be plenty to do. Whether you are lounging by the pool, playing relaxing games and puzzles in the observation lounge, enjoying a musical performance in the theater, adventuring on the water slides, shopping, taking a cooking class, or playing a game of tennis- there is always plenty to do onboard. And many of these activities are absolutely free and require no prior reservations.
