Cruise from the UK - It's Not All Down South
Dover, Southampton and Harwich seem to be the most favoured UK departure ports for cruise lines. But what about you poor folks who don't live anywhere near these ports? Having to fly, drive or take the coach or train to get there can easily add on an extra day to your holiday and not everyone has the time. To help you out, I've trawled the internet to find alternative UK ports of departure for 2008. The majority are round trips, with the occasional disembarking at another UK port or flying back to the UK, all of which are noted. So take a look. You might be surprised at where you can go.

How To Find Luxury Travel Deals
When people talk about luxury travel, they're often talking about flying first class. Flying first class definitely has its perks; larger seats, better drinks and meals, more personal attention, etc. But these luxuries come with a price. The differences between a first class ticket and a coach ticket are significant and they limit many people from flying first class. However, there are a few ways to get deals on first class airfare. The top three ways are 1) searching online, 2) upgrading at the last minute, and 3) accumulating frequent flyer miles.

Cruise Market Watch Announces 2009 Cruise Line Market Share and Revenue Projections
Miami, FL (PRWEB) November 28, 2008 -- Cruise Market Watch (http://www.cruisemarketwatch.com) updates 2009 cruise industry market statistics based on current economic conditions and anticipated new ship builds.
Among the 2009 highlights:
* Total worldwide cruise passenger capacity will increase 7.0% over 2008
* Annualized total passengers carried worldwide in 2009 is estimated at 16.5 million
* The total worldwide cruise market is estimated at $26.9 billion, a 1.4% decline from 2008
While cruise lines will significantly increase passenger capacity with the addition of new ships, pricing pressures to fill them in 2009 should negatively impact per passenger revenues. However, the combination of attractive pricing, innovative ships designs for select traveler markets and significant marketing efforts around the astounding new ships will provide opportunity to introduce new cruisers to the cruising experience. This will stimulate market growth for the industry through 2011. By the end of 2011, revenues are projected to increase 13.5% and passengers carried 13.8% from 2009.
With cruise line stocks Carnival Corp (NYSE: CCL) and Royal Caribbean (NYSE: RCL) trading around 70% off 52-week highs shares appear oversold, according to Ryan Wahlstrom, founder and publisher of Cruise Market Watch. The cruise industry has seen fears of overcapacity before. In 1990 new ship construction by cruise lines resulted in the addition of 15,000 berths - a 26% increase from 1987. Cruise lines proceeded to perform exceptionally well over the subsequent two decades. With cruise currently accounting for just 2% to 4% of market share for the total vacation industry, there remains plenty of room for growth.
"It's all about creative ways to get the cruise line's brand in front of non-cruisers," comments Wahlstrom. By partnering with non-travel brands that resonate with a given line's target market and by communicating the experiences of the ships, such as spas or exotic destinations, prospects that are already vacationing in other ways will try a cruise.
