The 2020 Toyota Land Cruiser is a big lumbering luxury SUV.

NORWEGIAN CRUISES is the latest cruise line to extend its sailing suspension, with holidays now cancelled right up until June 30. Can cruisers get their money back?

CRUISE holidays are on hold for now, however, many cruise enthusiasts continue to hold out hope for future cruises. For those looking to cruise in the future, but faced with a tighter budget, the good news is there are some ways you can save on sailings.

CRUISE holidays are popular all over the world, but especially with Britons. However, cruises are not as luxurious as they seem according to some cruise ship staff who have revealed their worst moments on board liners.

CRUISE ship holidays were a popular vacation choice for many Britons before the coronavirus pandemic struck. The crisis has hit the industry hard, leaving some reluctant to go on a cruise again - but now 12 travel writers have united to reveal why they love cruising so much.

CRUISE holidays are currently on hold, but new plans to implement safety regulations means that travellers must fit certain health criteria in order to sail. What will the new measures entail?

CRUISE holidays offer a number of luxurious leisure activities as part of the package. However, for an extra cost passengers can enjoy more exclusive experiences, but only if they stick to this rule.

CRUISE lines are assuring older passengers that they will not be discriminated against for future travel, despite being classed as some of the most vulnerable to coronavirus.

CRUISE holidays have been hugely impacted by the coronavirus crisis with cruises cancelled left, right and centre as the pandemic batters the travel industry. Now a fresh blow comes as two major cruise lines announce cruises won't be returning until autumn.

CRUISE holidays may begin for guests the moment they step onboard, however, the planning and preparation needed to create the ultimate experience begins long before. Journey Planner Denitza Dimitrov, one of the forces behind river cruise company Emerald Waterways, explains how her job helps to make cruise dreams a reality.

The actor is well known for his daring stunts, but this takes things to another level.

Do you have a cruise or travel bucket list? If so, should a French Polynesia cruise be on that list? In this I discuss the Tahiti and French Polynesia region and review what I think are the 4 pros and the 4 cons of cruising that I believe you should consider as you consider this as a cruising vacation option. I travelled to the region, which is pretty remote to explore. It takes well over 8 hours to fly from Los Angeles and the trip from Europe is 21 hours. It is very unique, different and beautiful. But, is it worth going all the way there? Find out what to expect and if I think you should add this to your travel and cruise bucket list - especially when there are so many other things you could have on your travel and cruise bucket list.

Note: Some of the costs of my trip to French Polynesia were covered by Paul Gauguin Cruises and Air Tahiti Nui before making this video.

Is a hotel barge cruise better than a river cruise in Europe? I explore 5 times, and types of travellers, where a European barge hotel cruise is likely to be the best way to cruise through Europe. River cruising in Europe has become very popular, but less travellers know there is an alternative way to cruise the European Waterways - hotel barges that cruise the canals and rivers of Europe. Discover if they are a better option for your European vacation

Note: I travelled as a guest of CroisiEurope on a 6-night French cruise on their Deborah hotel barge along the Yonne and Seine from Sens to Paris. The cost of the cabin would have been £2043 / $2500 per person sharing. CroisiEurope had no input on the content or opinions expressed in this video.

I am not suggesting, or recommending, you should sneak booze on your next next cruising vacation as you could, in worst case, risk being refused boarding if caught. However despite this, there are cruisers who use surprising and unusual techniques to smuggle alcohol on to a cruise ship to avoid having to buy drinks on board. In this video I explore the different ways that people are using to sneak their alcohol onto their cruise ship. The cost of drinking on a cruise is increasing, and with some of the drinks packages you could be spending almost as much as the cruise itself costs and some travellers are resorting to innovative methods to bring their own alcohol onto cruise ships. There are even companies making products, devices and accessories specifically designed to assist.

Cruise drinks packages are becoming increasingly popular. Most cruise lines offer them, and actively promote and encourage cruising passengers to buy one. However, is a drinks package right for you? I explore 8 reasons and times that a drinks package on a cruise ship is probably not worth buying. Cruise lines often have different levels and types of drinks packages, such as lines like Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Norwegian Cruise Line and Celebrity, and what should you be thinking about if deciding between these. Discover if a drinks package is right for you, and the watch-outs and things to consider.
