Holiday with the girls

Holiday with the girls

If you are looking for a fun and care free holiday that boasts both dancing and relaxation then look no further than a mini party cruise.  These cruises cost as little as £99 a night and that will get you one night on board the Viking Cinderella Party ship, two free Cosmopolitan cocktails, a complimentary buffet supper and a buffet breakfast the next morning.  You will also have the full use of a two berth cabin complete with ensuite shower and WC, which is the perfect place to doll yourself up prior to your evening out on board the ultimate party venue.

The ship itself holds 2500 people, which means you are guaranteed to make a few friends whilst there.  It is also this season’s answer to a stylish yet fun-filled trip as the ship also offers a variety of pampering options such as an on board Swedish spa.  The on board Swedish spa allows users to venture into a world of relaxation, either after or before their  evening on the tiles.  We would probably opt for the two sessions, especially when you see the list of cocktails on offer.  After sampling just a few you will need just a little TLC!

Of course there is one other thing that will get you over a hangover and that is a little retail therapy.  The on board duty free shopping is to die for and we would probably advise you to take another suitcase in order to house all your purchases.  Whether you opt for make-up, perfume, creams or clothing, you are guaranteed to find something to suit all!

Learning how to pack with Diane Von Furstenburg.

Packing for a trip can be extremely difficult, especially when most girls have an abundance of much-loved outfits in their already bulging wardrobes.  This has been made even more of a challenge with the tight regulations taking place regarding the weight of baggage.

The renowned designer Diane Von Furstenberg however has come up with a solution in the form of a variety of key essentials and need-to-know rules on packing.  You need to think of ideal pieces that can be worn both in the city and on the beach, through out the day and in the evening.

Other tips the designer has to share when packing for a break include a list of must-take key essentials.  These include the perfect little dress that can be rolled up snugly in your case, yet will appear wrinkle free when removed.  A sweater or cardigan that matches every ensemble, an easy-to-wear pair of trousers, a day jacket, an evening coat and of course a killer pair of heels for evenings, as well as cute statement flats to take you sight-seeing throughout the day.

Another tip is to take clever accessories; these will in fact make an outfit already worn appear different the second time around.  Colourful scarves, statement belts and lots of jewellery are the perfect items to dress up a simple look.
In order to learn the key rules of packing, the designer states you need to whittle away the nonsense items and leave behind the things you don’t think you’ll wear.

The designer’s cruise line is entitled ‘La Petite Valise” and offers various pieces that are perfect for a trip away.  Each piece works well together and will keep you looking stylish whilst away.
