Rather than churn out cruise news in a rather bland way we've decided to discontinue the news in this format and use our cruise blog to cover any newsworthy events.

The newest vessel to join the fleet of Princess Cruises, the Royal Princess, has embarked upon its first voyage from Barcelona.
Beginning its active life with a number of Mediterranean cruises, the maiden voyage of the Royal Princess will take in the culturally-rich cities of Maresill, Florance, Elba, Palmero and Mallorca.
Later cruises from the Royal Princess will include more exotic destinations, with visited ports including a number of Unesco World Heritage Sites from Ravenna in Italy to Canakkale in Turkey.
"A sister ship to the line’s popular Tahitian Princess and Pacific Princess, the 30,200-tonne Royal Princess offers passengers a boutique version of Princess’ acclaimed onboard options," Princess Cruises reports.
It adds that these features, including a range of entertainment and dining options, are offered in the "intimate" setting of the 710-passenger liner.
Earlier this week, Princess Cruises announced that it would relocate the naming ceremony for its Emerald Princess and Royal Princess liners following the sinking of a cruise ship off the coast of Santorini.
Virgin Holidays Cruises are leader's in Caribbean cruises, Mediterranean cruises and cruise & stay holidays.
