FAQs About Luxury Cruising
View AllCruises are available year-round, especially in warmer regions. But if you’re after a more serene holiday away from the crowds, spring and fall are optimal times to embark on a cruise. These off season periods mean there are fewer people in popular spots, offering a more immersive and less stressful experience.
From cultural journeys to personalised voyages, you’ll find that there are so many cruise themes and types to choose from. For a historic river cruise, the Nile river takes the top spot. The Mediterranean and Caribbean Seas are the go-tos for multi-day crossings and exciting shore excursions, while Alaska and Scandinavia offer the most dramatic scenery and stunning natural wonders.
To secure the best deals for your dream cruise journey, seek out experience holiday packages from a reputable local agency. For a more personalised and lavish voyage, reach out to luxury travel experts like Entire Travel Group. Our platform features tailored cruise packages in the following destinations:

Before your embarkation day, make sure you have your passport, boarding passes, health forms, visas and other destination-specific documents, and other forms of identification with you. Some cruise lines would also require additional documents such as permission to travel if you’re pregnant. Documents like emergency contacts and travel insurance information will also come in handy.
Your packing list will depend on what type of cruise you’re taking and the range of activities and attractions available at each port of call. Research your itinerary and pack accordingly. For example, if you’re going on an Alaskan cruise, be sure to bring cold weather attire to stay warm and comfortable.
On luxury voyages, there is some cruise etiquette to observe. Most cruise lines have become more relaxed in their dress code, even on formal nights. But it’s always a good idea to have dressier outfits on hand in case of evening chic nights or a Captain's Dinner.
The drinking age on a cruise can differ depending on the country or region. While some cruise lines adhere to the legal drinking age of the country they are registered in or visiting, others maintain a strict minimum age of 21 years even while sailing in international waters. Be sure to conduct research on this aspect before booking a cruise.
Sea sickness can be a potential issue on ocean cruises, but it has become quite rare due to the large size of modern cruise ships. But if you easily get queasy on board or are sailing through rough waters, cruise ships offer onboard clinics where you can get relief from your symptoms.
Cancelling a cruise may result in penalties, which typically come into effect within a range of 90 to 120 days before the cruise’s embarkation date. But if you cancel your booking prior to this period, you can expect to get a full or partial refund.

My travel partner and myself have just returned from our trip to Switzerland ( May 2024 ) and wanted to put in writing our utmost gratitude to Katelyn Mulgrew and the team from Entire Travel Group for the professional, prompt and extensive service provided from start to finish. Kate was there with us every step of the way and answered any question or concern we had in a patient and understandable way, which left us with reassurance and confidence. Switzerland Grand Tour was amazing with picture postcard scenery at every turn. Every aspect of the booking was flawless, from the hotels, transportation and documentation it all worked seamlessly. Hotels were comfortable, central, welcoming and contained everything a traveller could need.

Thank you again to Kate and the team for helping us tick this item off our bucket list.
My husband and I just returned from the most amazing trip that Zoe Condon compiled for us. Everything was perfect. From first enquiry to trip complete, Zoe was always available to answer questions big or small and offer helpful knowledgeable tips. If you are looking to visit Canada do yourself a favour and ask Zoe, her knowledge is 2nd to none. I look forward to dealing with both Zoe and Entire Travel Group for future holidays.
My wife & I recently returned from a once in a lifetime experience to Canada. We were so fortunate & blessed that Zoe Condon was such a truely wonderful Travel advisor to make our journey so very special. We undertook the “Winter Views & Colourful Hues” and can only describe it as a Magical Winter Wonderland experience. Everyday was full of amazing experiences & adventures that will remain in our memory & hearts forever. As for Zoe, what an incredible asset she is for the Entire Travel Group. She is so caring, helpful, patient & always so professional in delivering “top shelf”customer service. We can never thank & praise Zoe enough……so grateful & Canada blew us away. 🇨🇦❤️ Special mention also for Zoe’s compassion & concern in helping us during a family grief period.
Lisa organised for our family a perfect trip to Rangiroa. We stayed in a beautiful overwater bungalow and pool villa for our teenagers. We were impressed by Lisa's knowledge of French Polynesia and the connecting flights from Australia. Would highly recommend!
