Coming soon in the February/March edition of World of Cruising Magazine

It’s still only February and already 2015 is shaping up to be a pretty exciting year. Not that our cruise lines are shouting too much about it. Britannia will be arriving in Southampton next month, ready to be christened by a godmother so important that P&O still can’t announce her name. Anthem of the Seas will be here a few weeks later, and there’s even less information coming out of Royal Caribbean. And yet Norwegian are already well advanced for the brief visit from their new vessel, Escape, in October.

Here is a look at what highlights you can expect in the February/March 2015 issue of World of Cruising magazine.

Lesley Bellew kicks off this issue with a look at the very best shore excursions money can buy. Yvonne Horne boards Windstar Star Pride to see how this former Seabourn vessel has changed and David Fiske looks at the cruise ship casinos that reward high rollers with lucrative incentives.
