Your Floating Hotel Awaits
Wake up in a new country every single morning without packing a bag.
Forget everything you think you know about cruising. It’s not just shuffleboard and formal nights (unless you want it to be!). A cruise is the ultimate travel hack, a magic trick that allows you to see the world in high definition while your luxury hotel travels right alongside you. Imagine watching the sun set over the ocean with a cocktail in hand, enjoying a West End-style show, and then waking up the next morning to the smell of fresh coffee and a brand-new city waiting outside your window. It is the perfect blend of exploration and relaxation, removing the stress of logistics and replacing it with pure, unadulterated holiday bliss. Whether you crave non-stop adventure, family fun, or silent serenity, there is a ship and a sea out there with your name on it.
Why Life is Better at Sea
Unpack Once, See the World
This is the absolute superpower of a cruise holiday. You can visit five different countries in a week, see the Colosseum in Rome, climb the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and walk the walls of Dubrovnik, all without ever having to drag a suitcase onto a train or rush to catch a flight. Your room, your clothes, and your creature comforts come with you on the journey. It is the most hassle-free way to be an intrepid explorer.
Incredible Value for Money
When you break it down, a cruise offers unbeatable bang for your buck. Your fare typically covers your accommodation, transport between destinations, endless entertainment, and more food than you could possibly eat. With many lines also including drinks and tips, it allows you to budget perfectly before you even leave home, leaving you free to enjoy your holiday without worrying about the bill.
A Ship for Every Personality
The variety of ships at sea today is staggering. You can choose a floating city with go-kart tracks, water parks, and robot bartenders, or a small, intimate boutique ship that slips into hidden harbours the big boys can't reach. Whether you want a romantic, adult-only escape or a high-energy family playground, the cruise world has tailored a specific experience just for you.
Eight Dream Destinations to Drop Anchor
The Western Mediterranean
Culture vultures and history buffs.
This is the classic European adventure. You can tick off bucket-list heavyweights like Barcelona, Rome, Florence, and Marseilles in a single week. It’s a feast of art, architecture, and incredible food, with short distances between ports meaning you spend more time exploring and less time at sea.
The Caribbean
Sun-seekers and beach lovers.
This is the postcard-perfect cruise experience. Island hop between Barbados, St Lucia, and Antigua, spending your days on white-sand beaches and swimming with turtles in turquoise waters. It’s the ultimate way to relax and soak up the laid-back island vibes with a rum punch in hand.
The Norwegian Fjords
Nature lovers and scenery chasers.
Prepare to have your breath taken away. Cruising deep into the Fjords offers scenery you simply cannot see from land. You’ll glide past thundering waterfalls, snow-capped peaks, and tiny, colourful villages. It is silent, majestic, and utterly peaceful—nature on a grand scale.
The Greek Isles
Romantics and photographers.
There is no better way to see the Greek Islands than by boat. You’ll sail into the dramatic caldera of Santorini, tender ashore to the glitzy windmills of Mykonos, and explore ancient ruins in Rhodes. The contrast of the deep blue Aegean Sea against the white-washed buildings is simply stunning.
Alaska
Wildlife enthusiasts and adventurers.
This is a true wilderness adventure. You can watch massive glaciers carving into the sea right from your balcony, spot whales breaching in the icy waters, and see bears on the shoreline. It’s a rugged, raw, and spectacular destination that is best experienced from the water.
The Canary Islands
Winter sun hunters.
A favourite for Brits wanting to escape the grey UK winter. You can explore the volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote, the sand dunes of Gran Canaria, and the lush forests of Madeira, all while enjoying glorious year-round sunshine. It’s an easy, reliable, and warm getaway.
The Baltic Capitals
Lovers of grandeur and architecture.
his is a journey through northern royalty. You’ll visit the grand cities of Scandinavia and the Baltics, such as Stockholm, Copenhagen, and Tallinn. These cities are clean, safe, and packed with incredible palaces and history, often accessible right from the port.
The Far East
Best for: A glamorous and stylish party destination.
A sensory overload of the best kind. A cruise here allows you to safely and easily navigate the diverse cultures of Asia. Visit the futuristic skyline of Singapore, the bustling street markets of Thailand, and the ancient temples of Vietnam, all in one incredible voyage.
Top Tips for Smooth Sailing
Arrive a Day Early
If your cruise departs from a foreign port, never fly in on the day of sailing. A delayed flight or missing luggage could mean you miss the boat—literally! Start your holiday stress-free by flying in the day before, enjoying a nice dinner in the port city, and waking up refreshed and ready to board.
Location, Location, Location
When choosing your cabin, think about what kind of sleeper you are. If you’re prone to seasickness, pick a cabin in the middle of the ship on a lower deck where the movement is felt least. If you’re a light sleeper, check the deck plans to ensure you aren't directly underneath the pool deck (scraping sunbeds at 6 am!) or the nightclub.
Pre-Book Your fun
On the bigger, modern ships, the popular speciality restaurants, spa treatments, and theatre shows can get booked up fast. Don’t leave it to chance. Log in to your cruise planner online before you sail and reserve your "must-do" activities to ensure you don’t miss out.
Pack a 'Day One' Bag
When you check in at the terminal, your main suitcases are whisked away and might not arrive at your cabin until the evening. Pack a small carry-on bag with your swimwear, sun cream, medication, and a change of clothes so you can hit the pool and start your holiday the moment you step onboard.
