After a wet and windy start to September more than 1,700 people flocked to a special cruise show yesterday in search of their dream holiday.
The show, sponsored by The News, attracted regular cruise-goers as well as those who had never been on one before.
Visitors to the event at the Royal Marines Museum, Eastney, yesterday, also had the chance to book a cruise at special show rates.
One of the most popular draws was Celebrity Cruises, which sails to places such as Alaska, Australia, New Zealand and the Caribbean.
A Cunard presentation about cruises from Southampton to New York also proved very popular with visitors.
News man David Hoggarth, who helped to organise the event with Petersfield-based Planet Cruise, said: 'It went really well. We had people queueing to get in about an hour before we even opened.
'We had all sorts of people booking cruises from £700 to £3,000.'
