Cruise vs All-Inclusive Resorts: Which Is Better for a 2026 Holiday?

When planning a 2026 holiday, many UK travellers find themselves choosing between a cruise and an all-inclusive resort. Both promise relaxation, convenience, and value — but they deliver very different experiences.

Here is how they compare, and why cruising is increasingly becoming the preferred choice.

Destinations vs One Location

An all-inclusive resort gives you one beautiful location. A cruise gives you many.

Instead of flying once and staying put, a cruise allows you to wake up in a new country, city or island every day — without repacking, rebooking hotels or dealing with transfers.

Value for Money

Cruises typically include:

• Accommodation
• All meals
• Entertainment
• Transport between destinations

With resorts, excursions, meals outside the hotel, and local transport often add significant extra cost.

For travellers seeking value without compromise, cruises often provide more for the price.

Experience and Variety

Resorts focus on relaxation. Cruises combine relaxation with exploration.

You can enjoy spa days, shows, fine dining and pools — then step ashore in Rome, Barcelona or a Caribbean island the next morning.
