TAKE THE STRESS OUT OF THE HOLIDAYS WITH A CRUISE
Azamara Club Cruises, Celebrity Cruises and Royal Caribbean International offer a truly relaxing holiday this Christmas and Easter
Holiday time isn’t always the fun, relaxing and enjoyable time off from work we imagine. From rushing around cooking, cleaning and arranging the family, you can sometimes end up more worn out than before the holidays. That’s why a Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises or Azamara Club Cruises voyage over the hectic Christmas period is the perfect solution.
“Although many of us count down and look forward to the holidays for some well-deserved R&R, often it doesn’t always work out that way. A cruise removes the stress of cooking, cleaning and entertaining – so you too can truly relax and enjoy quality time with friends and family during your precious time off,” said Adam Armstrong, commercial director, RCL Cruises Australia.
“When you are on a Royal Caribbean, Celebrity or Azamara Club cruise, our attentive and caring crew take care of everything. There is no need to cook, make the bed, wash up, entertain the kids – it’s all done for you. So you actually have time to read that new book, sip an uninterrupted cocktail by the pool or treat yourself to a manicure or massage onboard,” continued Adam.
“Christmas and Easter are also particularly special on a cruise. Along with the usual activities and indulgent amenities that you’ll only find on our ships, you can truly enjoy the holiday cheer with extra special touches like themed entertainment, menus, carolling and Easter egg hunts.”
