Cruising has certainly become very popular over the last few years. There is plenty of choice whether you want to stay in Europe and enjoy the sun in the Med or the magnificent scenery of Scandinavia or the Scottish Islands. If you would like to venture further afield what about Mauritius to Cape Town or Auckland to Sydney?

As every you'll need to shop around to ensure that you get the best deal which may be directly with the cruise line or through a cruise consolidator such as Cruise !st Cruise Store and Cruise Line.

It's useful to start your search on consolidator's site as you can see which cruise lines operate on which routes and compare prices. Once you've found the best price you can always try approaching the cruise line and ask if they can beat the consolidator's price.

There has been some criticism recently about overcrowding of some popular cruise destinations. You may want to bear this in mind when selecting an itinerary.

I've never been on a cruise, have you? Would you recommend cruising to me?
