All-inclusive Cruising Hottest Trend

Celebrity Offers All-inclusive steel Cruising

Cruise lines have realized cruisers want to pay for their vacation upfront and then enjoy a vacation free from the worry of overspending. The solution has been to offer cruisers an all-inclusive cruising package. This gives passengers the opportunity to select and receive amenities such as on-board Internet, soft drink and alcohol packages, gratuities and shore excursions.

Celebrity Cruises upped the ante for all-inclusive cruising when they introduced the highly popular 3 for Free program. Now, other lines have started their own plans including an array of prepaid options that have set a new standard for all-inclusive cruising.  Prior only upscale, luxury cruise lines offered such great deals. But now, all cruise lovers can jump on board this hot trend.
