Happy sailing for relationships during the 2010 FIFA WORLD CUP™
May 21st
The ideal ‘his and her’ holiday awaits as European cruise line MSC cruises have signed a media agreement allowing them to screen all 64 2010 FIFA WORLD CUP™ world cup games aboard their fleet of 11 ships, joining P&O Cruises and other popular cruise lines who have decided to offer onboard viewing.
“As a fervent football supporter the least I could do was offer fellow fans the opportunity to follow the 2010 FIFA World Cup while cruising aboard our ships. From June 11 and for an entire month until July 11 our guests will be able to experience the thrill of the event and enjoy football fever as if they were in South Africa”, said Pierfrancesco Vago, CEO of MSC Cruises.
With special cocktails for each nation such as the Italy cocktail with Campari, Martini Rosso and soda water, or the England cocktail with Pimm’s and Ginger ale, sunbathing and spa for ‘her’ and WORLD CUP™ football for him, everybody looks set to be happy on a cruise this Summer!

Essential sun safety tips from Holidays-Direct
Apr 15th
With many holidaymakers booking or have booked summer holidays to hot sunny destinations, www.holidays-direct.co.uk have some essential tips on keeping healthy and safe in the sun.
Online travel agency www.holidays-direct.co.uk advises UK holidaymakers on sun safety as the summer season fast approaches and with holidaymakers choosing more tropical holiday resorts.
UK holidaymakers are choosing hot sunny climates to take a holiday to relax, enjoy the atmosphere and to soak up the sun by the pool or at the beach, which is why Holidays-Direct recommend the following tips:
Try avoiding any unnecessary illness by -
- Staying in shaded areas between 11am and 3pm
- Apply sun lotion regularly with an SPF higher than 15
- Increase water intake and keep hydrated
- Avoid strenuous physical activity
- Take care when drinking any alcohol as heat speeds up the effects.
When the sun is at its highest holidaymakers forget the sun is at its hottest point. By staying under the shade of an umbrella or going indoors and applying plenty of sun lotion with a sun protection factor (SPF) of over 15 would help to avoid any burnt skin and reduce the risk of skin cancer.
Increasing the amount of fluid intake will also help avoid against the risk of sunburn and help energise the body. Cooling down in the pool or sea also has its risks as the sun is attracted to water, applying waterproof sun cream will help protect the skin.
Jon Pearce of Holidays-Direct.co.uk commented, “We think it‚s essential for our customers to understand sun safety as well as the risks. Keeping healthy and happy on holiday is the main experience we wish for our customers to have!‚
