Every year more and more people are discovering the all-inclusive value of a cruise vacation. It all started in 1977, when Princess Cruises served as the setting for "The Love Boat," a TV series which introduced millions of views to the concept of a sea-going vacation. Last year, more than 13 million people took a cruise. So, what's the big attraction?
Here are top reasons that make cruising such an attractive vacation.
1. Wholesome Family Vacation
Today, cruise travel is no longer for retired and seniors. It has become very popular amongst young singles, couples, honeymooners and families. There are clubs for children with age-specific activities.

2. All-inclusive value
The cruise fare includes accommodation, all on-board activities, entertainment, and most meals – basic components of any vacation.
3. See the world in style
Cruising the high seas is one of the most relaxing ways to explore the world. One of the key attractions is that one can visit the globe's most famous destinations including world capitals and exotic tropical ports-of-call like Tahiti.
4. Unpack once
The best thing in cruising is that one needs to unpack only once and visit new place every day. No worries of packing and unpacking every day.
5. Get pampered
Regardless of budget, cruise lines pamper their guests with first-class service around the clock. Still need more pampering? Visit the ship's spa and choose from dozens of spa treatments that are sure to leave you feeling completely relaxed.
6. Fabulous Food Most cruise lines offer a choice of dining options - a traditional dining room, small romantic venue or in a casual eatery. Princes Cruises, for example, offers 'Anytime Dining'. Children have their own menus. The best part is that there is virtually no limit on what or how much you can order. Most cruise lines offer low-calorie and spa type cuisine in addition to their regular menu.
7. That’s Entertainment
Entertainment on a cruise is second to none. There is something to do around the clock - sightseeing, sports activities, cultural lectures, educational tours led by naturalists and historians or simply lounge by the pool and relax. At night, there are Las Vegas style revue shows, dance extravaganzas or a quiet evening gazing at the stars.
8. High satisfaction
Cruise vacations have a much higher percentage of satisfied customers than other types of vacations. A cruise vacation offers much better value for the money and there is a cruise package for every budget.
