Cruise travel is becoming more and more popular today, and the whole industry has shaken off that old crusty image of being exclusively the preserve of the filthy rich. These days prices can easily compete with traditional land based resorts. Here a list of fun things you can do while enjoying some cruise travel on the ocean waves.

1. Most cruise liners put on fantastic performances equal to what you'd normally have to go to London's West End or Las Vegas go and to see. On a cruise, the shows are just a gentle stroll from your cabin and gentle stroll back again.
2. Relax in the hot tubs and Jacuzzis dappled all over the place. What could be better than a day at sea and having a warm soak as your majestic cruise liner glides across the ocean waves.
3. Stretch your mind with some interesting lectures while onboard. Maybe you'll be fascinated by insights about a destination you're going to visit, or you'll learn some intriguing facts about life under the fathomless depths that lie beneath the cruise liner. There's sure to be a lecture on hand that you'll find fascinating.
4. Some of the huge liners or “fun ships” as they're sometimes called, offer all the activities you'd normally find in a standard water park. Water slides, rope ladders suspended across the pool, water shoots, are all part and parcel of water based activities onboard ship. Certain cruise liners also offer other onboard activities that include rock climbing, and even ice skating! Some even put on spectacular fireworks displays while out at sea. There's plenty of choice onboard a cruise ship.
5. Why not relax with some world class spa treatment? Onboard there are plenty of options when it comes to pampering oneself.
6. Watch a movie while you soak in the Jacuzzi. Many ships have cinematic screens in the pool area allowing soaking in a hot tub with a Tequila Sunrise or Pina Colada and watching a great movie. A great way to relax while out at sea.
7. Make sure you try some star gazing while onboard. The night sky can be breathtaking when miles and miles from land. If you're interested in astronomy, or just want lobe reminded of the wonders beyond this planet, find a dark spot on deck and look upward. You probably never see the stars as brilliantly as you can while enjoying some cruise travel.
8. Relax and read a book. That may sound a little obvious, but very often cruise liners have their very own book clubs where you can talk to likeminded people about that all absorbing page turner you've been reading while onboard. What better way to relax than reading a gripping novel with the sea stretched out before as you sit at the stern of the ship with a cold drink in hand!

There's plenty to do onboard a cruise liner on days at sea. So, if you haven't tried it before, then give cruise travel a go. It won't be the last time if you do.
