Frequently asked questions about cruises

When is the best time to book a cruise?

This depends on the destination and the the time of year you wish to travel. Popular itineraries such as the Norwegian fjords, the Mediterranean and Antarctica or Arctic often fill up several months in advance.

Rudy Beckx, publisher of CRUISE & STYLE magazine: “Many cruise lines have ships that are perfectly suited to first-time cruise travellers. You can enjoy a comfortable journey while discovering several destinations without having to unpack your suitcase every time. Visit one of our CRUISE & STYLE-recommended cruise travel agencies  for a no-obligation consultation.

Ing Michielsen, social media and editorial team at CRUISE & STYLE: “On most cruise ships, your accommodation, meals, entertainment and many onboard facilities are included. Depending on the cruise line you choose, drinks, excursions, Wi-Fi and/or gratuities may also be part of the package.
