Cruises.co.uk was sold to an existing business that is obviously making quite a lot from selling cruises (cruise.co.uk is it's URL). As I feel it is incredibly unlikely within the next 10 years or so there will be a .UK I feel it will have easily make back its investment.

I think it was a fair price for that domain, seen as though cruises.com should probably go for 5 to 10 times that to an end user.

There is the risk with .com that it will be replaced as top dog by a .web - it's highly highly unlikely but still possible. There's also the possibility the UN will take over the web and end or change top level domains like .com. Unlikely but possible. About as possible within the next decade as .UK becoming an extension you can buy second level domains under. The chance is less than 1% for either. Far less than average risk in investments.
