Voyages of Discovery cruise ships are smaller than some super liners, but that’s part of their charm. They cater for hundreds of passengers instead of thousands, and they can explore hard to reach places where huge ships might never venture.

Voyages of Discovery cruises are renowned for their onboard guest lectures. They are adding to their onboard entertainment for the winter 2010/11 season by introducing craft lessons.

The new programme of entertainment should encourage passengers to explore new skills and make friends with like-minded passengers.

Watercolour painting class will take place in the Yacht Club located on the Sun Deck, giving passengers the chance to capture beautiful panoramas on canvas. Jewellery-making, sewing and embroidery classes will also be available, giving passengers the chance to recreate local dress and trinkets.

The entertainment is well-suited to the type of clientele that Voyages of Discovery attracts. Passengers often book onto smaller cruises to avoid the glitzy bustle of larger cruise liners.

Voyages of Discovery offer a range of cruises to the Norwegian Fjords, Greenland, North Africa and many other destinations all over the world.

If you decide you want to book a cruise, make sure you buy travel insurance to cover the cost of travel delay, lost luggage or medical treatment that you might need to receive while you are abroad. Add extra cover to your travel insurance policy to include cover for cruises. Travel insurance for cruises may cost a little extra because if you are faced with a medical emergency at sea, you might need to be airlifted to a hospital, which could cost thousands of pounds.
