Win a cruise at the big show

With the latest figures showing that cruises have never been so popular, what better time to plan for the future than by visiting The CRUISE Show, which returns to London’s Olympia on March 26 and 27?
All the major cruise lines and lots of specialist operators will be there to offer inspiration, information and practical tips – and of course to persuade potential passengers to part with their money.
They will even be giving cruises away: at least 20 holidays will be up for grabs in competitions exclusive to visitors to the show, and there will be countless special offers and discounts available.
There will also be plenty of advice for visitors to gather. Cruise guru Douglas Ward, long-standing editor of the Berlitz Guide to Cruising will be there to answer questions, and frequent cruisers such as Martin Bell, Christine Hamilton and Sue Lawley are polishing up their PowerPoint presentations ready to talk about their travels.
TV presenter Paul Rose will discuss exploring the Galapagos islands, and author Gavin Bell will be sharing his experiences of adventure cruises from Antarctica to Zanzibar. Other topics in the show’s three theatres include Planning the Perfect Family Cruise, Grand Voyages, and Cruising Down the River and also taking part will be Cruise Critic’s editor in chief, Carolyn Spencer Brown, the Travel Channel’s Jonathan Beaumont, and journalist Jane Archer.
The CRUISE Show will be at the Grand Hall, Olympia on Saturday March 26 from 10.00 am to 5.00 pm and on Sunday March 27 from 10.00 am to 4.00 pm. Tickets are £10 each on the door, or £6 in advance. To book, visit www.cruisingshow.co.uk or call 0871 620 4024.
