LONDON, August 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

After the excitement of the Royal Jubilee and the Royal appearance during the London Olympics, why not relax with one of Her Majesty's favourite pastimes?

 The British Royal Family has been very much in the spotlight over the last few months. The Queen must now be in need of some serious rest and relaxation and she is well known for her love of cruise holidays, a fabulous way to unwind after all those Royal engagements!

The good news is that you don't have to be a member of the Royal family to sail away on a luxurious cruise. With an increasing range of brilliant cheap cruise holidays to choose from, you too can enjoy one of the Queen's favourite pastimes without breaking the bank.

For a great price, you can explore sundrenched Caribbean islands on an activity packed cheap Carribbean cruise, hopping from island to island and exploring the variety of culture and delicious cuisine on offer - all from the luxurious base of your cruise ship, saving you the hassle of having to pack and repack each time you visit somewhere new. Or, if you feel like relaxing, you can just stay onboard and chill.

A number of trusted cruise lines are available for you to choose from. Whether you're seeking a family getaway, some romantic seclusion or a solo break away from the unreliable British weather, there's a ship for you. For example, Royal Caribbean cruises have been operating for over forty years and are one of the most trusted cruise providers around. Their huge range of ships offers something for every taste and budget with delicious food served all day at a time to suit you, great shore based activities and onboard leisure activities that include a unique on-ship surf park!

It's easy to see why the Royal Family have always been such lovers of cruise holidays and the complete luxury they provide. Travelling the world in style has never been cheaper or easier and there have never been so many ships and destinations to choose from. If you absolutely can't wait to get away, why not explore the great last minute cruises on offer? This is often a way to get money off your cruise and grab a fantastic break at a bargain price. And, best of all, booking a last minute cruise means that you don't have to wait long for your holiday to come round!
