In today's day and age all cruise liners are fitted with modern stabilizing systems that corrects roll, pitch and yaw, so it is highly unlikely that you will experience motion sickness. In any event, weather predictions are taken into account and the ship will not sail into bad weather knowingly.

Is a cruise vacation affordable?

Yes. A cruise vacation is highly affordable! There are cruise vacations to suit every budget. Where else will you get cruise transportation, accommodation, most meals, activities and entertainment included in the price you pay. No surprises here. The extra you spend maybe on your alcoholic and beverage purchases and on your shore excursions.

Will I feel confined on the ship or get bored?

No way! Your cruise ship is a floating resort and with so many things to do and explore, it will probably take you a couple of days to get familiar with your surroundings. The cruise ship is huge and there is plenty of space.So much to do and so little time is a refrain that is commonly heard on board a cruise ship! Active enthusiasts will find loads of activities to keep them busy, be it jogging, gymming, swimming, and even practicing one's putt on the mini golf course. For the more relaxed ones, a leisurely spa treatment, a book by the pool and a stretch in the sauna are only some of the options available.

I am travelling alone. Are there any special prices for a single person in a cabin?

All rates are based on double occupancy in cabin. However if you are travelling alone and wish to have the cabin to yourself, you will have to pay 200% of the category rate.
