Island Cruises
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Island Cruises is a cruise line with two ships which provide both Mediterranean and transatlantic cruises.
Formed in May 2000 in a strategic alliance between First Choice Holidays PLC and Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, Island Cruises offer cruises to the European market.
Pioneers of casual cruising, Island Cruises offers an original approach that is “relaxed, friendly and informal”. Ad-lib dining, a relaxed dress code, a wide array of entertainment and innovative shore excursions characterise this cruise line, which was launched in 2002.
