Cruises. Strictly for retired – or retiring – types, right? Wrong. Cruising is being reinvented with a seriously intrepid edge and is attracting the young, and young at heart, in droves. The luxury's still there, if you want it. Cruises bring together the pampering of a first-class hotel, the excitement of an ocean-going voyage, the simplicity of all-inclusive travel and the scenic variety of a multi-base holiday. But for people seeking something a little more thrilling than organised deck quoits and coach excursions through tourist-trampled ports, abandon the busy shipping routes and head for wilder shores.
Fancy breaking the ice in Antarctica, meeting headhunters in Borneo or beachcombing on a lonely Seychelles island? Join us as we plot a course for a dozen of the world’s most adventurous cruises.
