Thomson Cruises offer cruise holidays throughout the seven seas, with cruising destinations available from the cool northern areas of Iceland, through to the much warmer seas of the Mediterranean or the Caribbean, or the wonderfully named Black Sea.
There are five ships in the Thomson cruise fleet, the Celebration, Calypso, Emerald, Destiny and Spirit. As you can imagine, as a leading cruise holiday provider Thomson cruise ships are well provided for in terms of amenities and facilities and there is generally a high standard of provision.
The ships are quite large, with a capacity averaging around 1200 – 1500. The Calypso is however much smaller, with a capacity of only just under 500 people. Note that on the Calypso children under the age of 16 are not permitted, so if you are travelling with children you will not be able to use this ship.
Each of the ships has a range of dining options, so if one night you feel like donning your ‘glad rags’ and dressing up a bit, then you can, but if you want to eat in your shorts and flip flops then you can eat in one of the cafes, or just have a meal in your room or suite. The emphasis is very much on choice and you doing what you want to do, when you want to do it. However, for the formal dining in the restaurant you will be offered an early or a late sitting
Lots of entertainment is provided on all the Thomson Cruise ships, from the Broadway type shows to UK based comedians who will entertain and amuse you. Cabaret shows are also provided on a regular basis. The shows tend to take place in more than one venue, offering you a real choice in what you can do. But if you prefer quiet times, then there are plenty of bars where you can just unwind with a quiet drink. Or if you prefer you can spend time on deck just watching the scenery, or perhaps seeing if you can spot some of the fascinating marine life or birds.
It is also possible to really let your hair down and get dancing, just to use up all those extra calories you have probably consumed during the day!
For those who like to get to know Lady Luck casinos are also available, here you can try your luck at roulette or just observe others and soak up the atmosphere.
There are various ways to keep in shape when on board and these range from going to the gym or health club, to taking part in some of the games available such as badminton or basketball, or how about a traditional game of table tennis?
Lots of opportunities are available for swimming on board or just topping up your tan by the pool, with plenty of sun loungers.
Shopping facilities are also available, as are launderettes, so you will not be stuck for either clean clothes or any little bits and pieces that you may have forgotten. Every attention has been paid to even the smallest of details.
Plenty of lifts are provided on the Thomson cruise ships for those who have a difficulty walking or who just fancy not having to climb the stairs.
