Cruising update

3

When I think of where I feel at my most tranquil, I always remember how I feel when I’m sitting on a balcony watching as the sun reflects orange and pink on the sparkling sea before it dips below the horizon, as I enjoy quaffing a glass of champagne before dinner on a cruise. Talk about a happy place!

Cruising truly is a sublime way to travel, and it offers such a rich range of experiences and choices that seems endless. The world really is your oyster - whether you’re cruising the ocean or the rivers.

After an extraordinarily hot summer, which I don’t think Britain has experienced since the famous heatwave of ‘76 (over a decade before I was born!), we’ll soon see the leaves start to turn and the seasons change, and soon we’ll be gallivanting towards Christmas. The start of Autumn marks my favourite time of year, and for 2018, the months of September and October have been dedicated as #ChooseCruise. October also brings our annual Cruise Show at the Sharnbrook Hotel off the A6 on Sunday 7th (I will yet again be presenting my Beginner’s Guide to Cruise in the morning and afternoon), so you’ll notice a suitably nautical theme throughout this edition of our brochure, following on from our dedicated River Cruise issue in June, which I hope you enjoyed. In this brochure, we’ve picked a

selection of cruises from many of our preferred partners, representing a wide spectrum of the cruising industry. Many of these (and others) will be present at our Cruise Show for you to speak to one-to-one.

This brochure invites you to ‘roll down the river’ and ‘hitch a ride on the River Boat Queen’ along the Mississippi, chase the Northern Lights with Hurtigruten and their famous ‘Northern Lights Promise’, discover the imperial Russian waterways on the Volga Dream, immerse yourself in the natural delights of West Africa on a cruise safari with Intrepid’s new style of adventure cruising, cruise in sublime style onboard a luxury cruise, or enjoy the classic friendly style of small-ship cruising with Fred. Olsen. All these incredible ways to experience the world and truly stunning destinations with the added benefit of only unpacking once!

At Select Travel Holidays, as the home of Cruise Select, cruising will always remain at our heart. Our dedicated team of cruise specialists have many years of experience, having cruised on and visited over 130 ships from over 40 different cruise lines, so you can rest assured that our knowledge will help find your perfect cruise!

We also specialise in Touring, Rail, Expedition, Luxury and Solo Holidays

Since 1989, Intrepid have been combining responsible travel, small groups and authentic real life adventures. With more than 1,500 itineraries in over 130 countries, they offer a variety of trip themes to suit particular interests or preferred travel styles – from cycling and family breaks, to food and sailing tours.

With Intrepid you’ll travel to meet new people, learn about different cultures, try delicious local foods, get out of our comfort zones and create lasting memories. Their small groups strike the perfect balance between planned activities and ‘you time’. Although they do have an itinerary to stick to, there are always opportunities to make the journey a little more you. Found a cafe you want to try? Want to add-on an Urban Adventure? There’s always room for improvisation and an adventure of your own.

DUBAI - Experience the soaring Burj Khalifa Tower, the world’s tallest building, visit the man-made Atlantis Palm Island or take a drive through the Arabian Desert, where the sand dunes display a spectacular sight at sunrise. The beaches stretch as far as the eye can see – the water sports on Kite Beach are a particular attraction – and limitless culinary delights await in award-winning Michelin star restaurants.

AQABA - Inhabited since 4000BC, Aqaba is the Jordanian port city on the Red Sea’s Gulf of Aqaba, and gateway to the world-famous stone-city of Petra. The Lost City of Petra is the impressive archaeological site carved from the sandstone hills more than 2,000 years ago, and is one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. Its breath-taking tombs and ruins remained hidden to the world until their rediscovery in 1812 by a Swiss explorer.

LIMASSOL - there’s plenty else to see and do here; Limassol Castle was built in 1228 by Frederick II of Germany, but largely rebuilt by the Ottoman rulers during the 19th century. It now houses the Cyprus Medieval Museum. The Limassol Archaeological Museum has many fascinating objects from the island’s history, especially from the Ottoman period.
