Cruises for everyone, especially men
It"s a fact that cruise passengers are now changing. Since 2002, 45% of people taking cruises are male, which is an increase on previous figures. Cruise holidays used to be particularly popular with women for many reasons: they felt safer on board ship than in a tourist resort, there were willing (and sometimes professionally hired) men to dance with, and the ship’s officers were always gallant and polite.
But cruise lines have learnt to adjust their holiday packages to suit men too, so what are the innovations that make cruises a hot prospect for blokes? Here’s a rundown of what is making cruises into the happiest holidays around for men:
High Spirits. Not only are there dozens of bars on any cruise liner, but as well as the beer, the cocktails at receptions and the chances to sip something cool and smooth by the pool, it’s increasingly the case that alcohol related options turn up all the time on cruises. Wine-tasting opportunities are commonplace and you can sip some excellent vintages while picking up top tips on buying, storing and serving wine. Many cruises also offer the chance to take excursions to tour pubs and breweries, wine cellars, sherry casking centres, vineyards and distillers.
