Ways To Save Money When Travelling

Vacations must be the best part of your life. It’s a time when you stay away from the hectic schedule at your work place and just have a peaceful time.

5 Reasons Why You Should Book A Cruise This Year

Many people are deterred from trying a holiday afloat because of outdated stereotypes and ill-founded notions of what it’s going to be like. But cruises are growing in popularity and are quickly becoming the perfect budget family holiday. So, why not try looking for last minute cruises next time you and your family want an adventure? Here are five reasons why going on a cruise will make your year:

1) You can go almost anywhere in the world

Access is a major factor contributing to the growing popularity of cruises. Stick a pin into any blue area on a world map, or locate any river and the chances are you can get there by cruise ship. So, instead of being deterred from visiting all of those places you’ve longed after due to extortionate flight prices, why not hop on a cruise and travel in true comfort.

2) The entertainment

You might be under the illusion that a cruise will leave you and your family feeling bored. You couldn’t be more wrong! If anything, cruises will take the stress out of a family holiday, with a diverse range of itineraries to keep the whole family entertained, and almost all of it covered within the price of the holiday, having fun has never been so relaxing. With everything from wine tastings, kids clubs, yoga, thermal pools and scuba diving, there will be something for everyone.

Buy Euros At The Best Rates & Use Prepaid Cards

Holidaymakers venturing to Europe in the near future are able to buy their Euros now to ensure they can take advantage of favourable rates.

Buying your currency while the exchange rates are in your favour is a great idea, especially now that you don’t need to carry all of your cash around, but instead you can use prepaid cards that are widely accepted throughout Europe.

Prepaid cards are an alternative to the old traveler’s cheques but they come with many more perks. Not only does it give you access to your money without having to carry your cash around, once loaded they can be used in bars, shops and restaurants as well as cash points.

The pound is very strong against the Euro as of late, almost reaching the same level as it was in early March, the strongest the pound has been against the Euro in the last seven years. This means that “The continent now offers really good value for money for British holidaymakers,” says Bob Atkinson from TravelSupermarket.
