World Cruises

Alaska Cruises

Alaska breathes adventure – its scale and isolation making free-spirited travellers' pulses race. One minute watching eagles wheel in blue skies, the next humpback whales dive into even bluer seas, Alaska cruises drift from mountains and ice fields to fjords and forests. Board a smaller vessel to get close up to tucked-away glaciers and inlets.

Australasia & Pacific Cruises

Cruise to Oz and its southern neighbours – New Zealand and the South Pacific. On the other side of the equator, the buzz of Sydney and Auckland contrasts with the remote Outback and Samoa’s tropical rainforests. Choose animal spotting on an Australia cruise, Alpine trekking in New Zealand’s national parks, or snorkelling in the South Pacific – then take a deep breath and go down under…

Baltic & Fjord Cruises

From midnight lights to Norway’s heights, the north matches the Mediterranean for access, affo
rdability and appeal. Board a Baltic cruise to soak up St Petersburg’s grand palaces and Copenhagen’s hip café culture. Or release your inner adventurer aboard a small ship to the knife-edge Norwegian fjords and North Cape’s frozen wilderness – the stuff true voyages are made of.

Caribbean Cruises

Cruise virgins seeking winter sun or daredevils wanting offbeat adventure, the Caribbean’s 7,000 islands beckon. From French Martinique to Dutch-speaking Curaçao, Caribbean holidays are about choice. You’ll find the white sands and warm waters, but also St Lucia’s cone-shaped volcanoes, Jamaica's rainforests and Dominica’s cool café culture -and that's just for starters...

Central & South America Cruises

The hottest new cruise kids on the block, it’s easy to see Central and South America’s appeal. Bid the tourists farewell and step into the shoes of a traveller to explore Patagonia’s glaciers and the silencio of Antarctica’s ice fields. Cross the peaks of the Andes and things heat up – from Argentina's sultry tango moves to the Amazon’s steamy rainforests. Or joinayacht and cruise culture whichboasts more sophistication than St Tropez. With a coastline that is longer than the distance between Damascus and Marseilles, cruising is the only way to reach this variedcontinent's hidden corners.

Far East Cruises

A melting pot of cultures, landscapes and cuisines, the Far East spices up cruising. Your stint at sea is bound for Thailand’s golden temples and Vietnam’s jasmine rice paddies, Hong Kong’s silk-strewn markets and the fiery fervour of Bombay.
From tried-and-tested favourites like Beijing’s Great Wall to buried treasures like Langkawi’s tiny islands in Malaysia, the Orient entices.

Mediterranean Cruises

Near to home and value for money, Mediterranean holidays are a magnet for first-time cruisers dipping their toes into the water and active types seeking offbeat adventure. Onboard there’s entertainment when you tire of the sun and sea. Ashore you’ll discover a different destination every day – from shopping in Marrakech’s spice markets to cruising cafés in Cannes.

North America Cruises

California’s palms and Quebec’s café au lait... North America cruises take you there. Fly to a US coastal port to board your cruise ship to New England’s woodlands and glacial Alaska, or sail south to the Caribbean’s sugar-white beaches and Hawaii’s volcanoes. Offbeat cruises making a splash are expedition voyages to the velvet-green Faroe Islands and frosty Arctic Circle.

River Cruises

Independent travellers choose a river cruise as an alternative to a quality coach tour or driving themselves, particularly in Europe. The emphasis is always on sightseeing with maximum time spent ashore. Vessels are very stable and tie-up in the centre of cities and towns with immediate access to the history, culture and architecture of the places visited.The small numbers of onboard passengers have the choice of exploring independently, or taking organised excursions. Almost all of the most famous, beautiful and historic cities and towns of the world are built on rivers, whether it is elegant Vienna and Budapest, the Roman towns of Avignon or Arles on the Rhone, Cairo with its ancient monuments and mosques, or the Rhine's magnificent castles.
