Eyjafjallajoekul's Impact

The customer services team at Ideal Cruising (http://www.idealcruising.co.uk/) have been working all weekend to try to find solutions to customers affected by the grounding commercial aircraft across Europe. For the time being this is seen a short term interruption, but if you believe the vulcanologist's this beast and it's big bad brother could cause intermittent disruption for many months to come. That has disastrous consequences for the aviation and holiday industries, and for customers looking for a guaranteed holiday this summer. I think we will see the emergence of a huge uplift in demand for UK departing cruises, and thankfully we have record numbers of ships based in the UK this year.
