Ocean cruises
There’s a reason why ocean cruising is so popular: you’ll be able to visit multiple destinations while only having to unpack once, while onboard there’s Michelin-starred dining, award-winning shows, sumptuous spas, and an array of classes and lectures to dive into. Factor in value for money, and what’s not to love?

For a more intimate travel experience, river cruising is hard to beat. That’s because ships tend to be smaller and have fewer passengers onboard. Another big benefit of river cruising is that you’ll be transported right into the centre of some of the world’s most fantastic cities: unlike ocean cruising, there are no tender boats or transfers.

Test the waters and set sail on a mini-cruise
|
|
|
New to cruise? Used up all your annual leave? A mini-cruise is the answer. A mini-cruise is a bite-sized voyage – think of it as the water equivalent of a city break – that is typically two to four days in length, but less than a week.
