Accomodation

Holiday Extras are the UK’s leading specialist in travel add-ons and they are the best in the business when it comes to everything from travel insurance to airport hotels, airport and cruise port parking, airport lounges and coach and rail travel.

Some cruise lines may offer discounts and additional benefits for large group bookings.

More people than ever are opting to Cruise & Stay holiday, extending their cruise holiday with a pre or post-cruise hotel stay or land tour.

Not all cruise lines offer religious services and very few provide a dedicated chapel on board. While some cruise lines offer no religious services at all, others may invite clergy on board to conduct services for certain religious events such as Easter Sunday or Christmas. In this case, religious services will usually be held in the ship’s lounges or theatre.

Almost all modern cruise ships offer internet access, with most providing Wi-Fi. Some older ships may lack Wi-Fi, providing internet access through computer stations instead.

Many cruise lines now offer multiple meetings and receptions on board, including singles meetings, masonic meetings, Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and more. Any meetings due to take place will always be advertised in the ship’s daily newspaper, with information on meeting type, venue and time.

Themed cruises have become more and more common in recent years, with several cruise lines incorporating themed itineraries into their season programmes to give cruisers the opportunity to indulge their hobbies on the high seas.

Booking a family cruise is really exciting, but deciding on your accommodation can be tricky. There are lots of different staterooms on offer and choosing the ideal accommodation depends on several factors, including the size of your family and age of your children.

Cruising allows families to travel together and see the world in uninterrupted comfort. Spending quality time together as they sail from port to port, families can enjoy the excellent accommodation and facilities that cruise ships provide, without needing to worry about hotels or flights.

Here at Bolsover Cruise Club, we recommend checking which socket type is available on board your ship before you sail. We have put together a guide to plug sockets on cruise ships that provides you with information on all cruise lines and the socket types available in cabins on board.

All passengers are required to attend a safety procedure demonstration, known as a muster drill, within their first few hours on board. The muster drill lasts approximately 20-30 minutes and will always take place prior to the ship sailing.
