New figures released by the Passenger Shipping Association (PSA) have shown that the number of Britons choosing to set off on an ocean cruise holiday from a UK port has reached an all-time high.
UK ports will see 835,000 people depart on cruise ventures, possibly with a comprehensive cruise travel insurance policy, in 2012. The figure marks a rise of 28% over the past two years.

According to the PSA, the UK cruise industry witnessed growth of over 5% this year.
