Research by Marella Cruises, TUI UK&I’s ocean cruise line, has revealed that over 60% of the nation is planning a summer holiday abroad this year, yet the cost of living is on the nation’s mind as one in five (20%) of Brits admit it’s stopping them booking an abroad getaway.
As only a little over one in five (22%) believe an all-inclusive cruise to be the best value for money compared to other holiday types, and yet nearly half (46%) would be open to a cruise holiday if they could compare the costs more easily, Brits are yearning for a solution to work out what’s best for them financially when it comes to an abroad holiday.
With 62% of the nation admitting that they are not fully aware of what an all-inclusive cruise includes, just over half (51%) of Brits didn't know that flights are part of the package and a surprising 71% were unaware that transfers are typically included as well.
The tool highlights the cruise line’s all-inclusive offering which provides: flights, food and drink, transfers, entertainment, tips and service charges which are included in the price so customers can enjoy an unrivalled level of service without the fear of any hidden costs.
