It is amazing how many cruise lines will be offering Cruise Holidays from Southampton during 2011; I believe it is 10. In order to fill the new large cruise ships, cruise companies are having to look at making prices cheaper; one way is to cut out the flight.

Does this mean that year round cruise holidays from Southampton will be here to stay or once the world recession is over will we resort back to having no cruise ships offering year round cruise holidays from Southampton?

One other thing that is perhaps more commonly known is that cruise holidays are the fastest growing sector in travel. I guess this is behind the reasoning for having cruise holidays from Southampton year round
