Royal Caribbean

If you are looking for a cruise holiday then make Royal Caribbean your first port of call.

It's freezing outside and you have decided you fancy looking at a holiday brochure but can't face going out into the rain to visit the travel agents... Royal Caribbean offer an online brochure which lets you flick through the pages from the comfort of your armchair.

Their site offers a list of destinations with some information, for more in depth details you need to download that particular section from their brochure. For information regarding specific ports from a list you are redirected to the US site.

It is possible to view and download deck-plans of their five different fleets; Freedom, Voyager, Vision, Radiance and Sovereign. You can also plan your treatments at the Shipshape on board spa. Click on their 'on board experience' tab, which takes you through details of their entertainment, activities ranging from rock climbing to miniature golf, dining, family activities, shore excursions and their Gold Anchor service.

The easy to navigate site contains news and special offers like early booking discounts. You can also download screen-savers of their exotic locations. Not sure where you fancy going? You can do a cruise search (via the US site) which can help you choose. The FAQ's section answers all your queries, tells you what to pack, lists any on board expenses and tips and provides documents and terms and conditions.

You can click to order a brochure or view it online, simply enter your details, the brochure takes over a minute to load but it has a nifty page turning facility and you can zoom in to read the text.

Royal Caribbean.co.uk gives you the ability to plan your dream holiday online, as they say it's way more than a cruise.
