They say: "Hassle free cruise holidays from Travelsphere for the 2012 and 2013 season. This brochure offers two types of holidays: cruise and discover holidays where you combine and escorted tour with a cruise, or cruises that set sail directly from the UK. Prices start at just £649 for a nine day cruise and that includes getting to the boat, all your meals, entertainment on board and a selection of onshore excursions too."

They say: "Welcome to the second edition of our 2012/2013 cruise collection, an enticing mix of wonderful cruises to destinations all over the world onboard a selection of fabulous floating hotels. You can choose from two very different types of cruise in this brochure, namely Cruise and Discover or Cruising from the UK. On Cruise and Discover trips will see staying a few days in one resort, then taking to the boat on a cruise, whilst the cruises from the UK do just that – set sail from ports around the UK, so no need to fly anywhere."

They say: "We think cruises should be about seeing new places, not following timetables of worrying about stuffy traditions, so we keep things simple. There are no set times for dinner and the dress code has gone overboard – these are easy going, down to earth cruises for you to enjoy year round. As well as enjoying the sunshine on deck during the day, the activities and onshore sightseeing, the boat also comes alive at night with West End-style shows and the disco. There are two buffet restaurants to choose from, one of which is open 24 hours a day, or you can spoil yourself and pay to eat in the a la carte restaurant. There are little extra touches such as outside cabin upgrades for just £49, a three night resort stay in Majorca for £80pp and a free place when there are 10 or more of you."
