Cruises
Traditionally, cruises have mainly been the domain of the over 60s and the retirement community. This is probably because it's a relaxing way to travel and a great way to see lots of different places in one trip. However, recently, cruises have become more popular with a younger crowd. The great thing about cruises is that there are many possibilities. They come in different sizes, take place in very different regions of the world, and offer different perks and benefits. Some are ocean cruises, while others are river cruises such as the Brisbane River cruises. Some are on colossal cruise liners, while others are smaller and more intimate experiences. You can go anywhere from the Caribbean to Scandinavia.Sailing Holidays
If you like the sound of holidaying on a boat, but a cruise ship isn't for you, you could consider a sailing holiday. You can go on a smaller boat and have more control over where you go. If you go sailing, you could learn to sail, or you have the option of hiring someone to do it for you, while you sit back and relax. You don't have to go far for a fantastic sailing holiday. If you want to go further afield, the Caribbean has some brilliant sailing opportunities too, with the British Virgin Islands being one of the best vacation spots to visit in the Caribbean.
Canal Boating
Fancy being in control of your own boat without needing to learn to sail or hire a skipper? Canal boating is a more relaxed way to spend your holiday on the water. You can do it all over the UK, on their extensive network of canals, or you can try somewhere else, like France. Whether you choose to hire a boat for a weekend or for a couple of weeks, it's a relaxing way to take in your surroundings - and stop off at plenty of traditional British pubs along the way.Adventure and Sports on and in the Water
If you're more of an adventurous type, there are many ways you can enjoy a watery holiday. You might consider trying out some paddling by getting into a canoe or kayak or perhaps even having a go at stand-up paddleboarding or white water rafting. You can also go on wild swimming holidays, or spend your time snorkelling or diving. You'll find opportunities to do these things all over the world.When you're feeling a little land-locked, get out on the water and find a new perspective. It gives you lots of exciting ways to travel.
