As more travellers look for variety and in-depth destination experiences while enjoying the ease and comforts of a cruise holiday, a major new trend sees holidaymakers getting more culture and time on land than ever before - the 'cruise and stay' holiday. Imagine Cruising is one company that adds top hotels at the start or end of a cruise holiday with some of the biggest firms, including Cunard and P&O Cruises. This means you can turn a seven-night cruise into an 11-night trip or an 11-night cruise into and 18-night holiday. For example, an 11-night Italian journey with Imagine Cruising starts with flights to Genoa and a seven-night cruise with P&O Ventura, before a four-night luxury Lake Garda stay, from £999 per person.
