Ever wonder why so many people return home raving about their latest sailing? If you’re among those who are considering a first cruise — but who haven’t yet taken the leap — take a look at our latest video series #CruiseYourWay.

In this video, we feature Jurgen Bailom, President & CEO, Cordelia Cruises speaking about the reasons Indians must try cruise holidays and why a cruise can be the perfect vacation for just about anyone. Indians must try cruising because firstly, it’s a new trend and secondly because we have multiple Indian cruises (ocean and river) offering multiple itineraries with different price points.

Cordelia Cruises is one of the most popular and the only one offering ocean cruising options in India. Currently, the fleet includes one ship named Empress which has a capacity of 1910 passengers. We listed down multiple reasons why Indians must try a cruise holiday. And don’t forget to buy cruise insurance as you do for your land holidays. The Digital Travellers have collaborated with ASEGO as our preferred cruise insurance assistance partner for our ‘Cruise Your Way’ video series.

Offers Great Value

Cruises offer great value for your vacation because the fares include nearly everything you’ll need for a fantastic trip: food, accommodations, daytime and evening entertainment and transportation between travel destinations. Cruise deals are astonishingly cheaper than you’d spend on land for a hotel, dinner and a show. Occasionally, Cordelia Cruises offer deals where kids even sail free or at discounted rates when sharing a cabin with two adults.

See Multiple Destinations, Unpack Only Once

On a cruise, you unpack once and your floating hotel takes you from city to city or from island to island and there’s no need to mess with flight, train or ferry schedules or lug your suitcase along cobblestone streets. Every morning, you’ll wake up in a new place. Pick an itinerary that visits all the cities on your wish list.

Cruise Ships are Family Friendly

From tots to teens, grandparents to grandkids, family cruises are fun for all ages. If you’re struggling to find a vacation that your 5-, 10- and 15-year-olds will all love — and that has adult activities, too — ships now have extensive kids’ facilities, split by age. Teens have their own cool hangouts, far away from the play areas for the little ones (and certainly a nice distance from parent-friendly pools and bars). How can you not love a trip that features video games and swimming pools, while offering time for families to be together at dinner or onshore excursions? And parents can even sneak in a romantic dinner alone, by taking advantage of late-night hours in the kids’ club.

Cruise Vacations are Easy to Plan

Because cruise vacation packages together with transportation and accommodations, they’re very easy to plan. Pick your ship, itinerary and cabin, and away you go — no searching for hotels in your price range, no coordinating travel between cities. You can even get your travel agent to arrange your airfare for you — or choose a departure port within driving distance to eliminate that extra planning step. Group cruises are a cinch to book.

Cruise lines have plans in place for group travel, eliminating the hassle of coordinating your 20 family members and friends from around the country who want to vacation with you. Book enough cabins — and you’ll get extra perks, including a free fare!
