Cruise Facts From the Cruise Lines We Work With

Cruising is one of the most enjoyable and memorable ways to travel. The mix of ocean views, dining, entertainment and adventure makes it a holiday like no other. But beyond the sunshine and sunsets, cruise ships are full of fascinating quirks and stories that most people never hear about.

Here are some interesting and fun cruise facts connected to the cruise lines we proudly offer here at CruiseHolidays.ie.

Royal Caribbean ships are designed like floating cities

Royal Caribbean is famous for building some of the largest and most innovative ships at sea. Many of their vessels feel like self-contained towns, complete with:

• parks filled with real plants
• shopping streets
• ice-skating rinks
• surf simulators
• Broadway-style theatres

Some guests say you need more than one holiday just to explore the ship.

Celebrity Cruises has a bakery that never sleeps

Celebrity Cruises takes its food seriously. Each ship operates its own onboard bakery, running 24 hours a day to keep up with demand. From pastries and artisan breads to desserts and cakes, almost everything is made fresh on board.

MSC Cruises owns its own island paradise

MSC Cruises has its very own private island in the Bahamas called Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve. Once an industrial site, MSC spent years transforming it into a protected marine area filled with white-sand beaches, clear waters and nature trails. It’s now one of the most peaceful and beautiful cruise destinations in the Caribbean.

Norwegian Cruise Line introduced the first-ever freestyle dining concept

If you enjoy choosing when and where you eat on your cruise, you can thank Norwegian Cruise Line. They pioneered “Freestyle Cruising”, allowing guests to forget about fixed dining times or dress codes. This idea has now become standard across many cruise lines.

Princess Cruises has a Hollywood connection

Princess Cruises fun cruise facts is that it became a household name thanks to the classic TV series The Love Boat. The show was filmed on a Princess ship and helped introduce millions of people to the idea of cruising as a glamorous and romantic holiday choice.

Cruise theatre productions rival major city shows

Royal Caribbean, Princess, MSC, Celebrity and Norwegian all offer full-scale theatre productions on board. Some ships feature licensed Broadway or West End shows, acrobatics, live orchestras and professional casts. Many guests say the entertainment alone feels like a holiday highlight

Ships make an incredible amount of ice cream every day

Cruise ships are known for their food, but one of the most surprising facts is just how much ice cream they produce. Warm-weather sailings, especially in the Caribbean and Mediterranean, can see thousands of scoops served daily.

Crew members come from around the world

Large cruise ships often have crew from over 50 nationalities working together. The mix of cultures, languages and backgrounds creates a unique, friendly atmosphere that guests always remember.
