Holidays by or on the sea: Newquay hotels and Mediterranean cruises

The Cornish town of Newquay offers a unique opportunity for holidaymakers to spend some time in what is arguably one of the finest spots along the English coastline. With not only fantastic scenery to keep visitors happy, Newquay offers numerous world class bars and restaurants to wine and dine in as well as a number of tourist attractions as well. Mediterranean Cruises offer passengers a different type of holiday to that of Newquay, though no less pleasurable, and like Newquay also offer those fortunate enough to grace the decks of a luxury liner the opportunity to wine and dine in some fantastic bars and restaurants although not beside the sea, but rather on it. The liners that sail the seven seas are majestic vessels, majestic not only in size but also in terms of the luxuriousness and lavishness of the vessels themselves. There is seemingly no limit to the destinations that these vessels sail to so should anyone be interested in booking a holiday onboard one of these ships to destinations in Europe or elsewhere around the world, they would look in the same place that one would also look when organising a holiday to Newquay and other fantastic destinations in Cornwall. Newquay, for those who may as of yet be unaware, is located on the Atlantic coast of Cornwall, which means that surfing is possible in the warmer months, although if surfers are willing to brave the cold seas they could feasibly surf England’s best breaks all year round.

Caribbean Cruises are quite possibly the world’s most popular cruises and why wouldn’t they be with year round gorgeous weather, picture perfect seas and some of the world’s most amazingly exotic and idyllic islands to be visited along the way. It is not only the weather that calls people to this particularly beautiful part of the world, for the vessels that take passengers between colourful ports of call are equally responsible for the inherent appeal of a cruise in the Caribbean. The liners that in this era ferry passengers about, are perhaps the most luxurious vessels to have ever sailed the seven seas, and only get more and more luxurious as new vessels join already luxurious fleets in order to compete with other operators that also sail from exotic destination to exotic destination. Although there aren’t many if any places in the UK which could be deemed to be exotic, if there was, Newquay would most certainly be at the top of the list. Popular not only with domestic tourists but also those from abroad, Newquay has long been one of the country’s premier seaside destinations and will continue to be as long as there is still the emphasis on quality gastronomic outlets and lodgings, things which are abundant in Cornwall, particularly in Newquay. Another reason Newquay is so popularly frequented relates to the fishing that is to be had along its shores, as it is renowned throughout the British Isles as being one of the premier saltwater fishing spots.

Princess Cruises are a renowned cruise operator that takes in some of the most exotic destinations to be found anywhere on God’s green earth and it is for this reason, as well as the vessels themselves, that they’re seen by many as being one of the world’s premier operators. It isn’t just the seas they sail or the vessels that sail them that endear this particular cruise operator to those who sail with them, for they are also renowned for providing onboard entertainment that exponentially increases the inherent enjoyment that passengers experience on their seafaring holidays. With entertainment specifically for those young, old and in between, it is hard to believe that anyone could find themselves bored for a second whilst taking in some amazing sights along the way. It is also difficult to believe that anyone could be bored whilst on holiday in Newquay, especially if they surf and the surf’s up. As Newquay is renowned as the surf capital of the UK, it isn’t difficult to find plenty of surf shops in the area, and many of them also hire surfboards which means that one won’t even have to own a board to get in on the action. Newquay has also held international surfing competitions for the last twenty years, most notably the Rip Curl Boardmasters Tournament, one of the most hotly contested tournaments on the pro surfing circuit and overseas surfers might also wish to note that the popular surf gear brand Fat Willy’s was founded in Newquay.

As mentioned earlier, anyone interested in Fred Olsen Cruises, one of the many popular cruise operators, or in the Cornish town of Newquay, can look in the same place to find out how to book a holiday at sea, or a relaxing holiday by the sea. There’s plenty of accommodation to be found in Newquay, for although the local population is just over 20 000, in summer this figure can swell to 100 000, so abundant is accommodation in the area. One can only guess as to how much accommodation is available in the form of berths on luxury liners, but any estimate would have to be higher than that, so profuse are the berths and the liners themselves. Although accommodation in Newquay and onboard luxury vessels that sail the seven seas is incredibly plentiful, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t plenty of people to fill those spots so as one could well imagine, making reservations is essential, not only on luxury liners which only take passenger bookings in advance, but also in Newquay, a town that has been dubbed by some as the “Blackpool of the West Country”, a reference to the popular seaside resort town of Blackpool. Comparing Newquay with Blackpool would be like comparing a luxury liner with a fishing boat as there’s no comparison, Newquay obviously being the more pleasant of the two, and like a holiday at sea, there’s no time like the present to find out just how wonderful a Newquay holiday can be.
