5 Things You Need to Know About Cruise Holidays
Last week I had the most fabulous time on a mini cruise around the Mediterranean with P&O on their luxury 5 star ship, Britannia. If the name rings a bell, and you're an avid TV fan, you might realise this is the same ship that hosted the live episode of Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway - and I was there in the audience. Britannia is the largest ship built exclusively for Britain. With a length of 1,082 feet, she carries 3,647 … [Read more...]
