The euro may be riding high against the pound, but those who enjoy travelling to destinations such as Spain and Greece need not despair.
Online travel publication Cruise Critic claimed recently that a holiday at sea is the ideal option for those who want to holiday in the eurozone, without having to worry about currency fluctuations.
Jo Rzymowska, general manager and associate vice president of Royal Caribbean International UK and Ireland, said those taking
cruise holidays can expect to see their hard-earned pounds travel further.
"The impact of the strong euro also means that holiday essentials, such as eating out and heading to the theatre, have become a very expensive option. With these items - that would be extras on a land-based holiday - included in the cruise fare, then the value for money that cruising offers is more apparent than ever," she explained.
Meanwhile, figures released last week by the Passenger Shipping Association show that the number of British people taking cruises grew by 11 per cent in the last year.
P&O Cruises are available from only £199 per person
