Keen travellers who like getaways that allow them to soak up a wide range of cultures at once are perfectly suited to taking cruise holidays, and with so many great value offers available, now is a good time of year to book.
June cruises are among the most popular, as this time of year avoids the main holiday season and ensures that cruise travellers are not jostling through crowds of tourists to see the sights.
Combined with favourable weather in many popular cruise destinations, it is not difficult to see why this period is a great time to sail away.
Princess cruise deals are ideal for globetrotters as some of them offer the chance to visit a number of incredible sights and vibrant areas all on the same trip, and there is no better part of the world for variety and culture than the Red Sea.
By heading across this ocean on a cruise, holidaymakers can enjoy visits to some of the world's most famous sights as well as stops at the cradles of ancient civilisations and bustling metropolises bursting with culture and fun.
One of the best introductions to Red Sea cruises is the Mediterranean, India and Asia cruise offered by Princess.
This incredible 29-day adventure stops in some of the most exciting places on earth, with the list of port calls reading like a dream holiday for any traveller.
Among the stops on the cruise are Sorrento and Rome in Italy, the ancient city of Athens, Dubai, Oman, Jordan and India, making it a vibrant mix of every kind of break.
Those taking this cruise can enjoy it all, from lying on a sandy beach in Dubai to visiting the incredible Acropolis in Rome and eating handmade pizza in a restaurant outside the Coliseum.
A must-see sight on this voyage is the wonderful city of Petra, which is one of the Seven Wonders of the World and is a true once-in-a-lifetime sight.
Those with even more time to spare on their Princess cruise could consider the popular Singapore to Venice route.
After flying to Singapore from the UK, holidaymakers head to the beautiful island of Phuket, before continuing to Chennai, Mumbai, Bahrain, Dubai, Jordan, Cairo, Dubrovnik and Koper.
The trip ends with a stop in Venice, certainly a top contender for the most beautiful city in the world.
Cruises following this route travel down the incredible Suez Canal, which is a great experience in itself, and another highlight of this cruise is the chance to visit the stunning city of Petra in Jordan.
This city is carved out of the sandstone rock of a cliff and really must be seen to be believed.
