Destinations

Luxurious Alaska Cruises

An Alaska cruise has become one of the most popular cruise destinations in the world. It's an overwhelming landscape of glaciers and endless forests, towering mountains and isolated boardwalk towns and villages. The cruise season in Alaska runs from May to September, with July and August the most popular months. May is best for wildflowers and September is great for the fall. The weather, like anywhere in the north, can be fickle but we've experienced beautiful weather in May and September. Take warm clothing, but you may do some sunbathing! The major cruising routes 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.

Luxury Australia Cruises and New Zealand Cruises

Now we're talking. Australia cruises and New Zealand cruises; the big ones if you like. This is cruising and no mistake! Sure, there's 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 is 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. Hit the beach, enjoy the barbecue, invade the relatives. As for 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.

Spectacular Baltic Cruises

Baltic cruises have become a popular cruise destination rivalling even the Mediterranean. This is because of the wonderful world of culture they offer. The term Baltics is shorthand for all the countries and places you can cruise to in the Baltic Sea region: Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Russia, Sweden. Just to think of their capitals is an adventure: Berlin, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Riga, Saint Petersburg, Stockholm, the list goes on. There's so much to see, to experience, to enjoy. The history, the architecture, the art, the food, the shops, the museums. 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 the Baltics is unmissable.

Sensational Black Sea Cruises

To cruise through the Bosporus into the Black Sea is a special 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 enjoying the area, with its warm Mediterranean climate, its vineyards and its orchards. The ghosts of history add to the allure. The names echo down the years. The Crimea, Sevastopol, Florence Nightingale; if they mean anything to you, reflect. If not simply enjoy.

Exciting British Isles Cruises

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. Everyone we know who has taken one, loved it. And we're not just talking about Americans and other 'Johnny foreigners'. 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? It's not all the Gorbals, you know. Charles Rennie Mackintosh's Glasgow School of Art is sensational. In fact, Mackintosh is one of the most under-appreciated, and disgracefully under-used, architects this country has ever produced. Drop your prejudices, see things for yourself. That's what cruising does for you.

Relaxing Canary Islands Cruises

Canary Island cruises are sometimes called the 'British cruise' because the island cruises hold such a strong place in British affections. They have 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 experience. From the coastlines to the mountains you'll find 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. It’s full of 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 the Canaries one of Europe's major tourist destinations.

Breathtaking Luxury Caribbean Cruises

A Caribbean cruise, some people say, 'is cruising'. It's the dream cruise of idyllic islands, perfect beaches with endless white sand, waving palms, azure blue sea and above all, literally, sun, sun, sun. There are all the things you'd expect: wonderful tropical wildlife and astonishing marine life in the crystal clear waters. There's a mixture of African, Caribbean and French cultures united, in the West Indies at least by, of all things, cricket. There are two cruising routes, known as Eastern and Western Caribbean. All the islands are highly individual. If you've seen one, you've only seen one. The Caribbean is a colour-filled world of welcoming smiles, of music and rhythm, of delicious foods and sheer beguiling beauty.

Luxurious Dubai & Middle East Cruises

Cruises from Dubai and Middle East cruises are becoming ever more popular as new cruisers, as well as regular cruisers, seek out more adventurous destinations. You can't help but marvel at the stunning beauty, rich history and brilliant promise of Dubai and the Emirates as one of the world's fastest-growing luxury travel destinations. There's plenty to explore in the whole region, whether you'd rather dive among the coral reef in the azure waters of Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, or dive into Dubai's sprawling Mall of Emirates - with over 200 shops and an indoor ski slope that you must see to believe. Or, if you're looking for a true flavour of the region, you'll find it in grand and ancient mosques, tranquil beach resorts, or in the area's many open-air souks buzzing with the authentic sights, sounds and tastes of the region.

They take you to a world of tropical rain forests and breathtaking natural beauty, a world of contrasting ways of life, where ancient dynasties compete for attention in the heart of tiger economies.

Go wild for some of the world's most exotic foods; enjoy the vividly colourful tapestries of traditional lifestyles, celebrating cultures that were old when ours was young. From dense tropical countryside and amazing temples, to unspoiled white sand beaches and warm crystal clear seas, to the warmest of welcomes, the Far East is no longer as far as it used to be.

Relaxing Hawaii Islands Cruises

Hawaii cruises are among the most exotic cruises anywhere in the world. Witness nature at her most extravagant, from fiery volcanoes to cascading waterfalls. Snorkel with dolphins and sea turtles in the shadow of Lanai, one of the Hawaiian islands. Sun, sea, fabulous beaches - including Waikiki with its world-famous surf - amazing wildlife and, above all, your chance to say Aloha! to the most welcoming people in the world. In fact, Hawaii is not one destination but many. It's an archipelago of eight islands and atolls. It's the most isolated island group in the world and, for one infamous Pearl Harbour moment in WW2, the most notorious. Hawaii is a hotspot in more ways than one. The islands are the exposed peaks of an undersea mountain range formed by volcanic activity.

Breathtaking Mediterranean Cruises

Once it was the playground of the wealthy, now it's the world's playground. The endless summer days, the scent of hibiscus and bougainvillea on the evening air, above all the light of the south that has drawn painters and artists for centuries, all these are what makes Mediterranean cruises what they are. 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.

Relaxing & Fun Short & Mini Cruises

Mini cruises, or short cruises, are perfect to suit a budget or a date. They usually last three or four nights so they're a good alternative to taking a city break. The bonus, of course, is you have full-board on the ship plus all entertainment. They're also suitable for first-time cruisers looking for a taster of life at sea. Mini cruises are a perfect way to recharge your batteries or your marriage.

Spectacular New England & Canada Cruise

One of the great advantages of a New England cruise or a Canada cruise, is the opportunity to add on nights in New York. In fact, just to cruise from New York is one of the great cruise experiences. The east coast has many famous cities, not the least being Boston, full of culture and history, much of it a little too close for British comfort. There are also many famous smaller resorts such as Bar Harbor. The whole immense area of coastline is magnificent. From the awe inspiring Bay of Fundy, with one of the highest vertical tidal ranges in the world, to the astonishing Saguenay Fjord in the Gulf of St Lawrence, to the Montmorency Falls outside Quebec - 98 ft higher than Niagara - it's a wonderland. Talking of falls, the biggest draw of all, of course, is the fall. Autumn in New York may be the famous song, but for a few weeks every year, the whole east coast lights up in a technicolour display the world wants to see.

Breathtaking Norwegian Fjords Cruise

A Norwegian Fjords cruise is one of the most breath-taking voyages you can make. The fjords are so spectacular that to describe them in words without pictures is almost a waste of breath. They simply, and often literally, take your breath away. The experience is overwhelming because the fjords are so deep and narrow. You're so close in places you can almost touch the rock face. Even huge ships can get close to the immense, often almost vertical cliffs. You may think your ship is large until you see it dwarfed by the towering, mountainous walls. It's thrilling. And it can be surprising. On an Arctic Circle cruise for example, you may be surprised to learn you're farther north than Alaska! You'll also find beautiful cities, full of fine architecture, great art and culture, superb food, sensational shopping and civilised people. No wonder the cruises are popular.

Unmissable Panama Canal Cruises

The isthmus that links and divides the Americas is home to the 'longest short cut in the world', the 50-mile long Panama Canal. It was a cut that had to happen. The alternative was to sail around South America. To cruise the canal is to see one the world's great engineering feats and to realise, perhaps for the first time, that the Atlantic entrance is farther west than the Pacific! Revenue from the canal and Panama Canal cruises has enriched not only Panama but the whole region. From the skyscrapers of Panama City to the inland sea of Lake Gatun the transit is full of surprises. The biggest surprise of all is the fact the canal exists.

Fun Filled Mexican Riviera Cruises

Mexican Riviera cruises are a brilliant way to see Mexico's wonderful 'gold coast'. The 'Riviera' stretches for miles south from California along the Pacific Ocean coast and covers some twenty cities. This huge area is a paradise of vibrant cultures, world-class beaches, lush green rain forests and dazzlingly painted architecture. Whether your idea of adventure is exploring a colonial city or discovering the joys of a siesta on a magical white-sand beach, a Mexican cruise holiday is perfect. Acapulco, Cabo San Lucas, Ensenada, Mazatlán, Manzanillo, Puerto Vallarta the names speak of relaxation and vacation. As Mexico extends south towards Central America, you can travel beyond siestas and fiestas to trek through jungles and plantations. A Mexican cruise can take you almost anywhere.

Unbeatable Scandinavia & Russia Cruises

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.

Beautiful South America and Antarctica Cruises

South America cruises and Antarctica cruises are growing in popularity because South America is a place of extremes. It's a continent where passion is a way of life, and the feeling's contagious. It's not just the weather that's hot. From the steamy beaches and rain forests, to the snow-capped Andes mountains; from the passionate dances in the tango parlours of Buenos Aires, to the glittering golden churches that line the streets; what unites them all is a great love of beauty and a passion for living. Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, the Falkland Islands and Antarctica, Cape Horn - where the Atlantic Ocean shakes hands with the Pacific - it's Treasure Island all over again!
