Cruising is still affordable
By: Katrina Archer and Bruce Piper, Cruise Weekly
Feeling a little stressed? Then read on! A cruise holiday offers significant benefits and opportunities to revitalise your soul.
We are still guessing as to when we are going to start hearing some positive news about our economy from the media - maybe we should all just go cruising anyway!
There is nothing like a change of scenery and total relaxation to benefit you - both mentally and physically.
A cruise holiday offers no better time or setting for reconnecting with family and friends and renewing relationships that suffer when we all get caught up in day to day living.
Take a cruise holiday to recharge and re-energise and to look forward with confidence and enthusiasm. (Those who keep looking back just get a sore neck!)
A cruise holiday means very little planning is required on your part. Once on board you have your own home away from home - except that someone else will tidy up after you, make your bed, clean your bathroom, cook your meals and do the dishes. The toughest decision you have to make is what to choose from the menu!
These days, every dollar counts so when planning a cruise holiday, it pays to find a professional who knows how to get value and find the cruise that matches the family budget as well as individual tastes and interests.
You haven't lived until you've cruised!

Classic International Cruises has launched new Wedding and Renewal of Vows packages aboard its Athena ship in Australia next summer.
A renewal of vows package starts from $125, and wedding deals start at $250 including use of the onboard chapel, beauty/hair treatments for the bride and groom, pre-wedding drinks, music, champagne and canapes, portrait and group picture, private area in the restaurant for dinner with wines, wedding cake, and fresh fruit for the honeymooners in their cabin.
Fun facts about Royal Caribbean International's 2435-passenger liner.
It is 279 metres in length, meaning that if the ship was stood on its end in Paris, it would be just 21 metres shorter than the Eiffel Tower.
