Cruise: Jane McDonald reveals top tip on avoiding seasickness for first-time cruisers

The good news is, the NHS provides some helpful tips which can also ease motion sickness.

According to the NHS, some of the best ways to ease the sensation include looking straight ahead at a fixed point, such as the horizon or venturing outside for a breath of fresh air.

Another way to avoid seasickness is to “close your eyes and breathe slowly while focusing on your breathing” or drink some water.

If travelling with a child, distracting is a good tactic for making them feel better.

Alternatively, ginger is cited as one of the best ways to beat seasickness and the nauseous feeling that ensues.

“Try ginger, which you can take as a tablet, biscuit or tea,” advises the NHS website.
