  • Cruising myths debunked! | Flitch Travel

    Cruising myths debunked! 29 November 2025 ‘You’ll never get me on a cruise ship’! We’ve heard it so many times, yet over 2m people from the UK do take cruise holidays each year. Two million people embarking on a cruise, a landmark which was surpassed two years earlier than predicted. River cruising has also seen growth in popularity, with passengers from the UK increasing. Perhaps most tellingly, nine out of ten first-time cruisers take another cruise within 12 months. Don’t knock it until you try it Cruising has something for everyone and if booked right with some keen research you’ll soon be calling yourself a seasoned cruiser. The itinerary and visiting ports of call is a small factor to consider but most importantly the cruise liner that you sail with will be what makes or breaks your relationship with holidays at sea, there are over 50 different liners out there, they all offer something different, they have their own target market and its our job as your local trusted travel agent to find your match. Let’s start the match making right now and debunk the top cruising myths... Cruising is for the elderly: I think I need to start this debunking by highlighting how our own perceptions of what can be considered ‘elderly’ is changing , with people remaining fitter, healthier, and more active for longer than before - cruise liners are reimagining their facilities onboard to cater to this. Over the last few years, the average UK cruise passenger age has remained largely unchanged at 56, an age below retirement, although internationally the average cruiser is younger still at only 46, which is the lowest average age for 20 years. Cruising is now less likely to be viewed as just for elderly thanks to the rise in mega-ships that offer non-stop fun and entertainment for families, from bumper cars to zip lining and waterparks, there’s more onboard these ships than your average beachfront hotel. We have also seen new cruise liners such as Virgin Voyages offering adult only sailings with a Virgin twist, their target market is aged in their 30-40’s their branding is hitting the spot with the use of social media and well-known influencers. The idea of an average or typical cruisers age is getting weaker as the amount of choice increases, widening the appeal. From the age of 0 to 100, there is a cruise ship for you. Cruising is too expensive: Cruising was considered to be almost exclusively for the wealthy. Some of the ticket prices can look expensive at first glance but cruising is one of the best-value-for-money styles of holiday you could have, as it’s so inclusive. A typical cruise will include accommodation, entertainment, full board dining, beverages with breakfast, visiting many destinations and the service of a friendly crew. We see real value for money when it comes to activities, if we look at the price for a family of four to go out for lunch (£60), go on the bumper cars (£10), have ice creams (£15), go zip lining (£70), go swimming (£25), watch a show (£130), take part in a yoga class (£20) that comes to £330, if they were onboard one the family-friendly ships it would cost £0 as its all included and can be enjoyed every day! Some cruise lines are more inclusive – there are several ocean and river cruise lines which throw in all-inclusive drinks, some include all excursions while others offer a great deal of flexibility with prepaid drink and dining packages as optional extras. Bundles can be really personalised to suit your priorities. It’s a bit like buying a bundle for satellite TV, you may be interested in the sports or films packages, but won’t need the documentaries; similar bundles can often be found for cruising. I would be seasick: I have some sympathy with this concern that makes some non-cruisers hesitant to cruise, as I am a sufferer. However, the comparisons non-cruisers make with ferries is unfair and not reflective of a cruise experience, particularly with continuing advances in technology for cruising. There is also an important distinction in a ferry’s purpose as a means of transportation between A and B for shorter distances, and a cruise ship’s purpose as a style of holiday, so comfort is of greater importance and consideration when cruising. Every cruise ship has stabilisers fitted, these work superbly, with mini-golf, pool tables and a bar suspended on the side of the ship; the captain needs to keep it as steady as can be. Nobody wants a game hindered by rolling balls or a cocktailed swished in one’s face. As a passenger onboard are the world’s largest cruise ship during a hurricane, I can confidently say seasickness is not a worry. I’ll be stuck at sea with nothing to do: Another classic cruising myth. Itineraries vary massively, and days at sea will largely depend on that; for example, cruising from Southampton for a Mediterranean cruise will entail more days at sea than flying straight to the Med and boarding the ship on arrival, a trans-Atlantic voyage is largely about the journey, rather than the destinations, as ports of call are few and far between. This will be down to personal taste, and for many people, days at sea are a chance to relax and enjoy the ship’s facilities. However, whichever itinerary you pick, you wouldn’t be ‘stuck at sea with nothing to do’. Put simply; you can do as much or as little as you like. Nowadays, ships are packed full of activities and onboard facilities, and the bigger the ship, the more choices you have. Some ships have become a destination in their own right. Cruising is too formal: This cruising myth may well be related in part to the perceptions of cruising being exclusively for the wealthy and/or elderly, but like those myths it is not reflective of the reality of cruising. Traditionally, cruise ships had quite strict dress codes, particularly for formal night plus there were set dining times, at a set table, where you’d sit each night. Richard Branson himself said that Virgin Voyages would ‘throw out the traditional cruise dining rule book’ and get rid of the ‘stuffy formalities.’ Although Branson, who has never gone on a cruise before, does not seem to realise that this so-called cruise rule book has already long been thrown out by cruise lines, as nowadays, things have changed. Dress codes have loosened a lot, with some cruise lines opting for a ‘country club’ atmosphere, and formal night as an option only. Some have even completely abolished formal nights. Dining has also become more open, partly because ships nowadays have a number of different dining venues on offer. It is very much your cruise, your choice on attire, your choice on dining venue. Cruising really is for everyone, it’s not just for the rich, the formal, or the older crowd. These days, there are cruises to fit every style, budget, and age group, when you book with your local award-winning travel agent, Flitch Travel , we’ll help you find the perfect cruise at the best value, making the whole experience easy and stress-free. A cruise holiday can be one of the most fantastic, flexible, and fun ways to travel. Give it a try!

  • Essex Girl in the Jungle | Flitch Travel

    A WILD adventure in the Borneo jungle! 1 September 2025 A first-hand account from Malaysia featuring Orangutans and Singapore Slings, from our intrepid reporter Rebbeca, owner of Flitch Travel. Under normal circumstances I would write this Flitch Travel article from one of our travel shops in Ongar (aka Chipping Ongar) or Great Dunmow, but as I type these are very much NOT normal circumstances! Picture the scene It is 34 degrees outside, the humidity is suffocating, and I can hear croaking, howling and humming. I have been warned about the huntsman spiders - they have three types here - the common, the hairy and the sports! The sports huntsman spider is not the official term but is a local name due to the way they travel; sprinting, cartwheeling and handspringing. Gulp! I can’t even shout “I’m a celebrity get me out of here” because one; I am not a celebrity and two; I chose to be here. I booked this trip well over a year ago of my own free will. I am on a two-week adventure in Borneo & Singapore, and the main focus on this trip is wildlife. I am here to see the Orangutans, both in the wild and in the Rehabilitation Center, along with Sun bears and all the natural wonders of the jungle, including Proboscis Monkeys (the ones with the big noses, as a male the bigger the nose the better), Red Leaf Monkeys, Hornbills, Crocodiles and Flying Lemurs. From Great Dunmow to Malaysia I am now sat in my lodge at the Kinabatangan Wetlands Resort, following an epic journey to get here. I travelled with Singapore Airlines across to Singapore with an immediate connection onto Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia. From here a further 40-minute flight into Sandakan - a one-night stay in this area helped break the travelling and was a logistical success as I was right next door to the Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre (ORC). The Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre (ORC) It is important to get to the ORC early, 8.30am is ideal, as it gets busy, particularly with large groups. Getting here early allows time to wander around the resort, which is an open jungle, meaning any animal can come and go as they please. I thoroughly enjoyed walking the boardwalk underneath the jungle canopy. There are two areas you must make sure you allow time for: the nursery and the feeding platform. Feeding happens every day at 10am, and there is no guarantee any Orangutans will partake in feeding. It’s a double-edged sword for the Center - if no Orangutans surface it means the rehabilitation is working, the primates are finding food themselves out in the wild and not dependent on human intervention. Equally, with so many people here every day to support their work, it really helps if at least one Orangutan shows up to feed. I was so lucky! During my time there, one big, bold and beautiful Orangutan came swinging in through branches and enjoyed a sack full of fruits all to himself. A couple of Long Tailed Macaques joined and put on a circus show, trying their best to swipe fruit whilst the Orangutan looked the other way. The Sun Bear Conservation Centre This is next door, much smaller, but really quite touching yet thought-provoking. There is a lot of collateral to read, describing some very sad stories about how Sun Bears are kept as pets or killed for unverified medicinal purposes. The work they do here is wonderful, the Bears have huge areas of Jungle to roam and are treated as “wild” as possible. Into the Jungle! It was after this very educational and slightly emotional day that I boarded a speed boat and embarked on a two-hour journey into the very remote wetlands of Borneo, where I find myself right now. There are no roads to the resort, the only access is by boat. I am deep in the jungle with no access to mainland, supplies are limited, power is hit and miss, tap water is warm due to the year-round hot temperatures, and the wildlife is abundant - and I mean REALLY WILD life! But my goodness, this is an incredible experience. Despite the daunting prospect of staying here, my guide, Omar, has me reassured and feeling 100% safe. Omar is an ecologist, naturalist and wildlife enthusiast, and he can recognise every sound and footprint across the dense foliage. Right Place, Right Time Our days are planned out by Omar making sure we are in the right place at the right time to see all the wonders of the jungle, and it is full on with some early and late starts. After our first night we had a 5.30am sunrise river safari. It might not sound appealing but this is the golden hour to catch animals and birds as they wake from their slumber. The early alarm clock paid off. We spotted Orangutan in the wild, swaying through the palms, sitting by the river nibbling on fresh coconuts. A spectacular sight to behold. Comfort Zone, well challenged The walking night safari really tested my strength - not physical strength but mental strength. To be surrounded by my fears, in the dark, in the heat and constantly being reminded to watch where I step. Yet again Omar to the rescue! I was in the best hands and lucky enough to be just two feet away from crocodile, kingfishers, scorpions, huntsman spiders, insect eating plants, bats, owls and mouse deer – quite literally mouse sized deer. All good things… My time here in the Malaysian Borneo jungle is coming to an end but my trip isn’t. My bags are packed and I’m awaiting a call from Omar to board my boat back to the mainland, where I have a few days of luxury at the iconic Shangri la Rasa Ria Resort & Spa, before making my way home with a few nights in Singapore. A Singapore Sling in the historic Long Bar at Raffles Singapore is calling! If you are interested in experiencing this very same trip, please do give myself or Amie at our Ongar branch a call, 01277 886968. We have both experienced this diverse corner of the planet and would be delighted to tell you more.
