Sunday Funday

Today Ive had quite a active day - My day off from cruise.co.uk and the sun was shining so we decided to make the most of the big open spaces around where I live and take to two wheels, Curtis, his daughter and my sister and I took off on our bikes for an afternoons cycling. We took off toward our local heritage point, Forge Mill and Bordesley Abbey - The Archaeological dig site in Redditch - there is some really interesting places local to where I live, however I digress, the main point of this blog was to introduce to you cruises that have connections or facilities for cycling. There are many places where getting to see the sights is common place by bicycle, for instance Amsterdam, there are lots of different bike hire places when you get in to the city. Plenty of cruise liners take in Amsterdam as one of their ports of call, from P&O to Princess there is lots of things to see here. I would love to see Amsterdam by bike, or Paris.



But this made me think about one of the cruise liners who came into the office the other day to do some refresher training on their product and I was quite surprised at how much they had to offer - Crystal Cruise are a six star luxury liner who have some the most beautiful and breathtaking ships in the world. They take pretty much everything you could need into consideration, but I did recall they mention cycling so I went to there website and sure enough there are excursions that include cycling Click Here to see what is on offer.


I was wondering if there were any other cruise liners who offer bike loan or hire as one of their facilities for guests who may prefer a slightly more fast paced day. Ok so there are bike facilities in most of the on board gyms, but what about once you get off the ship?


P&O Offer a selection of different ports where they do have excursions which offer cycling, for instance Halifax in Nova Scotia - Halifax by Bike - Enjoy a leisurely bike ride along the scenic city streets and charming Victorian homes that Nova Scotia is famous for, this is a tour suitable for novice cyclists or avid bike riders, 21 speed bikes allowing you take things at your own pace whilst exploring Point Pleasant Park or take a ride past the home of the Titanic Millionaire George Wright. Click here for ideas of other things to do with P&O whilst in Nova Scotia.


Has anyone ever taken the bike ride options as one of their shore excursions? Any recommendations.
