Military uniform is also permitted on these nights.</p>"}}]}</script> <script type="speculationrules"> {"prefetch":[{"where":{"href_matches":"/*"},"eagerness":"moderate"}]} </script> </head> <body

href="https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/cruise/best-cruise-holidays-b2405031.html">cruise holiday</a> is the ability to explore multiple <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/top-world-cruise-destinations-b2566501.html">destinations</a> in one trip, all without the need to move your suitcase from one <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/hotels">hotel</a> to another. Typically, cruises are popular among older generations, but that needn’t be the case; many younger people are also embarking on cruises and exploring the <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/cruise/best-mediterranean-cruise-destinations-2024-b2565349.html">Mediterranean</a>, Alaska, <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/cruise/best-caribbean-cruises-b2402678.html">Caribbean</a> and <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/europe/european-summer-destinations-2024-cool-temperatures-b2589460.html">Europe</a>. For the particularly adventurous – and those looking to really get their sea legs – there are longer <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/world-cruise-royal-caribbean-serenade-b2491705.html">world cruises </a>available, offering a chance to visit North and Central America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/cruise/best-cruises-in-australia-b2612295.html">Australia</a> and New Zealand in one go. In addition to the stops and excursions along the way, those on board can take part in a huge range of activities and events on board the ship. Many of the <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/royal-caribbean-cruise-ship-biggest-titanic-b2486510.html">larger cruise ships</a> feature several pools, bars, restaurants and casinos – some even have miniature golf courses, cinemas and roller coasters. In terms of entertainment, there’s no shortage, whether you’re looking to belt out a hit at karaoke or get suited and booted for a formal black tie gathering. Whatever your interest, there’s likely to be something to keep you occupied, above or below deck. Whether you’re looking for a short trip or want to embark on a round-the-world voyage, our team of travel experts have created guides on the world’s best cruises to help you plan the most memorable holiday.</p></div><div class="sc-jqVXSH bbcTZS sc-1ohagwg-0 gllBnL sc-xlontn-0 iGngGC" data-type="ArticleX3"><div class="sc-1qoqv7v-0 cTzcpc"><h1 class="sc-1qoqv7v-2 jZzhDb"><div class="sc-1qoqv7v-3
