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!

All-inclusive resorts to increase in 2010
Dec 22nd
All-inclusive resorts are set to rise in 2010 as UK holidaymakers search for good value for money holidays. Holidays abroad will be shorter as travellers look towards week long holidays and city breaks to break up the year.
All-inclusive resorts give customers peace of mind about not having to worry about extra money for food and drinks, especially for those holidaymakers travelling with families.
Bookings for all-inclusive resorts in Turkey increased in 2009 along with Egypt and Bulgaria due to the exchange rate being beneficial to the Pound Sterling and as Euro-holidays declined with poor exchange, all inclusive holidays rose whilst self catering holidays in Europe decreased.
Holidaymakers in the UK have also increased interest in Cruise holidays, a more luxurious form of travel, many of which include food but not drinks, yet it has been a cheaper option for many couples and families as passenger numbers have risen over the past year and growth predicted to continue over the next few years.
