What exactly is a hosted cruise?


OK, let us talk about what exactly is a hosted cruise. Well, to put it in simple words, it is a cruise with a host (or a hostess). The host (or hosts in some cases) is responsible for you having a good time on the cruise. The host would be a designated person who will make sure that you are treated as an honoured house guest rather than a passenger on a ship. The atmosphere on these cruises tends to be more personal with typically smaller than average sized groups on board. The itinerary would usually have features such as private cocktail parties, get togethers, and meetings etc. Such cruises are a great way to get a relaxing vacation while still feeling right ‘at home’.


Got that! So where do I get a hosted cruise for roaming around the Marlborough sounds?
