2011 CRUISE PLANNER

Cruise International, the new cruise magazine, has produced a 2011 cruise planner which is available in WH Smith, Waitrose and other good newsagents. The magazine has been going for a few years now and they have recently recruited a new Editor, Adam Coulter. He has re-designed the magazine and also put together a panel of cruise experts, an 'Editorial Advisory Board' made up of cruise line MD's and other notable people in the cruise industry, including yours truly.

The 2011 cruise planner is a great resource for new-to-cruise people and also more experienced cruisers, and helps you select the right cruise for you-which is vitally important. The guide classifies cruise lines by cruise style, whether that's budget, contemporary or even ultra luxury. In the back there is a very comprehensive guide to every cruise ship afloat and river cruise boat too, which is great to keep for future reference.

You can see a summary of the latest meeting of the Editorial Advisory Board here, (can you spot me?) and don't forget to pick up a copy of the 2011 Cruise Planner next time you are out shopping.
