Destinations

Alaska Cruises

One of the world's most spectacular cruising destinations

An Alaska cruise has become one of the most popular cruise destinations in the world. Alaska cruises visit an overwhelming landscape of glaciers and endless forests, towering mountains and isolated boardwalk towns and villages. The best time to cruise Alaska is from May to September, with July and August the most popular months. May is best for wildflowers and September is great for the fall. Cruising Alaska, as you'd expect with anywhere in the north, means the weather can be fickle. But we've experienced beautiful weather in May and September. So take warm clothing, but you may do some sunbathing! The major routes for Alaskan cruises are from San Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver sailing as far north as the Hubbard Glacier and visiting many fascinating towns and cities such as Juneau, Sitka, and Ketchikan.

Australia and New Zealand Cruises

The other side of the world, at your feet

Now we're talking. Australia cruises and New Zealand cruises; the big ones if you like. This is cruising and no mistake! Sure, cruising Australia means a long haul flight. So stop over. Take advantage. See Singapore, see Asia on your way. Or on your way back. But when you get there, oh boy, Oz cruises are wizard. From the 'rock' to the 'reef' to the 'clutch of nuns' (translation: Ayres Rock, the Barrier Reef and Sydney Opera House) you're in for something special, something sunny, something essentially outdoorsy. To cruise down under gives you the chance to hit the beach, enjoy the barbecue, invade the relatives. As for cruising New Zealand, is there anywhere on the planet more beautiful? Peter Jackson searched in vain. That's why he chose to film Lord of the Rings there. Give us a ring when you want to go.

Cruise to the Baltics & Scandinavia

Some of cruising's hottest destinations

Baltic cruises have become a popular cruise destination rivalling even the Mediterranean. This is because of the wonderful culture and scenery they offer. The term Baltic’s are all the countries and places you can cruise to in the Baltic Sea region: Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Russia, and Sweden. Just to think of a Russian cruise is exciting. Just to think of visiting the Baltic capitals is an adventure: Berlin, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Riga, Saint Petersburg, Stockholm, the list goes on. There's so much to see, to experience and to enjoy. Russian cruises - the whole of the Baltics - open up a world of history, architecture, art, food, shops, museums and so much more. Is Stockholm's Vasa the best-ever museum in the world? Is the Hermitage in Saint Petersburg the world's best art gallery? The only word to describe a Baltic cruise is unmissable.

Black Sea Cruises

A special cruising experience

To cruise the Black Sea, sailing through the Bosporus into the Black Sea is a unique experience. It takes you, if you've a mind for recent history, to the world of Yalta where Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin carved out the world we live in. How would they have viewed today's Black Sea cruises sailing in this, the traditional playground of Russia's rich and famous? With pleasure, maybe. Certainly with envy. Perhaps they'd celebrate seeing the world cruising the Black Sea enjoying the area, with its warm Mediterranean climate, its vineyards and its orchards. The ghosts of history add to the allure of a Black Sea cruise. The names echo down the years. The Crimea, Sevastopol, Florence Nightingale; if they mean anything to you, reflect. If not simply enjoy.

Cruise the British Isles

See the extraordinary beauty of Britain

To a Brit it may seem strange to exalt British Isles cruises. They don't sound very exotic, do they? Don't you believe it. British Isles cruises can be wonderful. Everyone we know who has taken one, loved it. And we're not just talking about Americans and other non-Britons. To cruise the British Isles gives you a chance to see our own coastline which has a special beauty of its own. Cruising the British Isles offers you the opportunity to visit places you might never think of going. Have you ever seen the flower market in Plymouth? Ever sunk a glass of Guinness in Cork? Or tasted an Irish whiskey (note the 'e') in Belfast? And how about Glasgow, European City of Culture in 1990? Forget the Gorbals. Charles Rennie Mackintosh's Glasgow School of Art is sensational. In fact, Mackintosh was one of the most under-appreciated, and disgracefully under-used, architects this country ever produced. A British Isles cruise can help you drop your prejudices and see things for yourself. That's the beauty of cruising.

Canary Island Cruises

The Canaries - the British Isles in the Atlantic

Canary Island cruises are sometimes called the 'British cruise' because the islands hold such a strong place in British affections. Cruising the Canary Isles has been a 'destination of choice' for Britons from the arrival of the age of steamships. The three main islands of Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote - all part of Spain - each offer a radically different Canary Isles cruise experience. From the coastlines to the mountains a Canary Islands cruise offers you a world of contrasts with unforgettable secret bays, black sand, and long golden beaches, giant cliffs, deep ravines, exotic woodlands, and volcanic landscapes of impossible shapes and much, much more. Madeira is a traditional port of call and has been ever since cruising began. A Canary Isles cruise embraces historical monuments, picturesque villages and breathtaking views. Mount Teide on Tenerife is the highest mountain in Spain. It's also the most visited National Park in Spain. The natural attractions, sub-tropical climate, and fine beaches have made cruising the Canaries one of Europe's major tourist vacations.

Cruise to the Mediterranean

The Med, the many worlds in one.

Cruise the Med once and you risk being hooked. It is the world that shaped our world, the birthplace of our civilisation and many others. A Med cruise is often the first cruise people take. That's where they learn to love cruising. Mediterranean cruises are the most popular of all cruises and it's easy to see why. For a start the Med is not one destination but many. It's not just eastern Med or western Med it's much more than that. It's seas within seas: the Aegean, the Adriatic, the Alboran, the Balearic, the Ionian, the Ligurian, the Tyrrhenian, they're all part of the Med and the very names are magical in their different ways. Cruising the Med opens up a world of history, a world of antiquity, of glamour and fashion, of endless summer days; the scent of hibiscus and bougainvillaea on the evening air, above all the light of the south that has drawn painters and artists for centuries, all these are what makes Med cruises what they are. Once the Med was the playground of the wealthy, now it's the world's playground. The food, the famous 'Med diet' of fruits and salads, olive oil and herbs, cheese and yogurt, fish and poultry, red meat and of course wine, all these speak of the good life. Here, in the cradle of civilisation, amid a myriad of cultures, you'll see some of the most beautiful ports, picturesque harbours, ancient ruins, and most famous historical sites to be found anywhere in the world.

Mini Cruises

Great, but few and far between

There aren't many mini cruises in the cruising year. They’re rare and hard to find. But a short cruise is a great way to try out a different ship, or to try cruising for the first time. When they appear, 3 day cruises offer great value, far better value than any weekend break in Europe. For a start they are full-board. It could cost you a fortune in extras to bring a weekend break up to the standard you can expect on a cruise ship. Treat your loved one to a long weekend aboard a luxury mini cruise where you can both relax and celebrate in style at a lower price than a European city break. A word of caution. So called mini cruises on ferries are not what we're talking about. Ferries are not cruise ships!

Cruise To Canada & New England

See the coastline that shaped a nation

The main time of year - some say the only time - to take a New England cruise is in the fall, as Americans call the autumn. To cruise from New York, or to cruise from Boston in September or October, is truly a magical experience. Seeing the grandeur of the New England and Canadian coastlines is breathtaking. This is a world of dramatic land-and-seascapes, of rocky crags and thundering spray, with some of the most extreme tides - some over 50 feet - found anywhere in the world. This is lighthouse country and it is easy to see why. From the sea and the rugged headlands your cruise ship can turn into magnificent sheltered bays. Simply to cruise the Saguenay River, one of the highlights of a Canada cruise, is a unique experience of great natural beauty with its immense skies and wonderful forest-clad hills.

Norwegian Fjords Cruises

‘Welcome to the heart of Norway.’

Norway cruises and the Norwegian fjords are truly a world like no other.

A Norwegian fjords cruise takes you to a world of fantastic scenery where the air itself tastes so fresh and clean it’s almost intoxicating.

Cruise the Panama Canal

See one of the great wonders of the world.

The immensity of the Panama Canal is truly amazing to see even after nearly 100 years. The audacity of setting out to cut a 51-mile divide through the sheer rock between two great continents beggars belief even today. To contemplate doing so largely by hand is unthinkable. No wonder it took such a toll of human lives. And no wonder a Panama Canal cruise is the perfect way to see the canal proper. To look down from the five-star luxury sightseeing deck, perhaps on one of the finest cruise ships in the world, is to somehow honour the labour of those forgotten ‘navvies’ who made it possible. You can sail into the canal proper and return again into the Atlantic, or you can cruise right through to the Pacific and finish your cruise in Los Angeles, a truly nautical experience. And of course, you can add on extra nights in a city of your choice before or after your cruise. Panama Canal cruises could be one of the most truly memorable experiences you’ll ever have.

Scandinavia & Russia Cruises

Baltic Treasures

One of the reasons Scandinavian cruises and Russia cruises are so popular is that you can cruise from Dover. This appeals especially to those who don't like flying and who relish the idea of driving to a port, parking alongside the ship, and having your unlimited baggage portered aboard for you. Who wouldn't enjoy that? The destinations are, of course, magical. They're a sightseer's dream. If shopping is your bag, well, Scandinavia is like nowhere else on earth. Do you remember the days when shop assistants were pleased to see you? Smiling and courteous and eager to help? With shops so full of things you want that you feel like a child in a sweet shop? Then go north young man, or woman. A world of civilised culture awaits you.

Transatlantic Cruises

The true cruisers' cruise

A transatlantic cruise includes one of the greatest sights in cruising, that is the view as you sail in or out of New York. It's a real thrill. Duck your head as you squeeze beneath the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, the double-decked suspension bridge that connects Staten Island and Brooklyn. The Statue of Liberty looks down on you, the famous Manhattan skyline beckons on the horizon. What better way to start or end a transatlantic crossing? Transatlantic cruising is the sophisticated way to travel between America and Europe. Cruising the Atlantic has been one of the pastimes of the rich and famous since the dawn of the age of steamships. Now the romantic allure of an Atlantic crossing is within reach of nearly everybody. Spring and autumn are the peak season, as cruise lines reposition ships between the Mediterranean and the Caribbean. To cruise from New York is truly something special. Eastbound or westbound the tradition endures.

No flying cruises are more and more sought after. The advantages are obvious. For no fly, you could say, no hassle. A no fly cruise from Southampton, for example, let's you park at the quayside. Willing and friendly porters - yes, they do exist - will help you with your luggage. You feel as if you're on holiday already and you haven't left the UK yet. Hang up your wardrobe, just the once, and you're off. From then on, the world comes to you. All those magical ports of call will turn up and anchor outside your balcony, day after day, night after night. And when you return to the UK, it's the friendly porters in reverse. Straight into your car and off you go. You simply can't beat it.
