The fees include all meals, on-board entertainment and port charges.

The airline offers a lower frequency of flights and no amenities such as frequent flier points or on-board entertainment.

Prices for the 28-night cruise start from £2,945 per person, including full board, on-board entertainment and port taxes.

For on-board entertainment there is a movie theatre, library and music performances.

The price ranges from $310 to $695 a person, double occupancy, including meals, a city tour and on-board entertainment.

The price includes meals, accommodation, on-board entertainment and all shore tours and transportation.

Modern conveniences make the hours pass even more quickly, including various comfort levels of accommodation, a dining car and lounge with on-board entertainment.

In addition to offering on-board entertainment, of course, the machines will continue to dole out cash, accept deposits and perform other bank functions.

The train ride also included on-board entertainment.

I worried that the tiny cabins and lack of on-board entertainment would drive us stir-crazy after a few days.
