Definition- Cruising takeing a holiday on a ship or boat following a predetermined course, usually calling in at several places for the purpose of pleasure or reconaissance
 
Port Out Starboard Home later shortened to 'posh' was only affordable by the wealthiest of society. In the early days of cruising the choice of destination was limited to transatlantic ports. However, due to advancements in technology and the effects of globalisation, cruises now take in the all of the worlds popular destinations
 
Cruising is now dominated by companies such as Cunard, P&O , and Royal Caribbean.
 
P&O have more than 60 ships and 13 brands. Cruise companies now cater for a wide mix of demographic. Gone are the days of the cruise only being the domain of the old and rich. The cruise product mix has evolved to encompass short 2 day cruises aimed at younger age groups, celebrating a special occasion such as birthdays or even hen nights. Cruises are considerably cheaper and now, more than ever, in reach of the mass market, able to travel anywhere in the world from Alaska to Singapore.
