Two decades into the 21st century and, although we’re not all flying around with personal jet packs, it seems that technology continues to move at a blistering pace! And, be in no doubt, the tech’ is here to stay, whether it’s at work or in our leisure time.
Fortunately, cruise lines have been quick to pick up on digital innovation and have wasted no time at all in exploring ways to modernise and improve our cruise experience. So, just how will some of these new innovations improve your next cruise?

It’s only natural to want to get the best from your cruise experience. After all, you’ve spent time and money planning your holiday and, therefore, it makes perfect sense for you to get the most from it. But, because cruises are so inclusive in terms of what’s already included in your fare, it’s sometimes hard to know what else you can do to improve on a package that’s already pretty well loaded.

There are many luxury cruises but, happily, only one Yacht Club: the unique ship-within-a-ship experience that is exclusive to MSC Cruises. If you’re looking for the highest standards of comfort and service, then the Yacht Club has been designed to exceed your expectations by delivering everything that you’d find on the most luxurious small-ship cruise, whilst still offering you access to the myriad facilities and entertainment opportunities that only today’s biggest and best appointed ships can deliver.

If there’s one thing we Brits love more than a bargain, it’s a bargain cruise with a comprehensive drinks package! This has to be the ultimate cruise holiday deal but, is it a realistic goal: are cheap cruises with drinks packages readily available?

Well, one thing here is for certain: there are plenty of drinks packages available from virtually all cruise operators serving the UK market. Naturally, you’ll need to do a little research; like the cruise companies themselves, some drinks packages will suit you more than others. To help you decide, think about yourself and the people you’re travelling with. If you’re a family, you’ll want to make sure that any drinks package also makes provision for the kids – it makes no sense saving money on the adults’ drinks when you find yourself paying through the nose for every single orange juice and cola.

On the other hand, if you’re travelling as a group of adults and you’re keen to keep the party going but, maybe, less keen on sampling some of the more esoteric choices from the wine cellar, then make sure your drinks package is fit for purpose. Alternatively, if it’s just the two of you and you’re looking for an inexpensive gourmet getaway, then you might want to secure a drinks package that gives you access to the premium end of the drinks menu, so that you can really push the boat out!
