Alaska

Alaska has become one of the most popular cruise destinations in the world. The cruises visit an overwhelming variety of landscapes: glaciers, endless forests, towering mountains, isolated boardwalk towns and villages and major cities such as San Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver. The best time to cruise Alaska is May to September, with July and August being the most popular months. May is best for wildflowers and September is great for the fall. As with anywhere in the north, the weather can be fickle. Take warm clothing, but you may do some sunbathing! We've experienced beautiful weather in May and September.

Australia and New Zealand

Cruises to Australia and New Zealand cruises are not only fantastic in themselves, they give you the opportunity to stop over in Asia and see some of the Orient. Cruising doesn't get more impressive than this. New Zealand, with the magic of its Maori culture, the miles of breathtaking coastline, the vast mountains and ancient forests, undoubtedly has some of the world's most awe-inspiring scenery. While Australia, with its Ayres Rock, the Barrier Reef and Sydney Opera House is totally another world, one which just happens to be situated on planet earth.

The Baltics, Scandinavia and Russia

Baltic cruises open up a world of history, architecture, art, food, shops, museums and so much more. It's a world of culture and wonderful scenery. The Baltics are all those 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. The only word to describe a Baltic cruise is unmissable.

The Black Sea

To sail through the Bosporus into the Black Sea is a unique experience. If you've a mind for history, the cruises take you to the world of the Crimea, Sevastopol, Florence Nightingale; to Yalta where Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin carved up the modern world. How would they have viewed today's cruise ships sailing in the traditional playground of Russia's rich and famous? Perhaps they'd celebrate seeing the world enjoying the Black Sea's warm Mediterranean climate, its vineyards and its orchards. History adds to the allure of a Black Sea cruise. If the names mean anything to you, reflect. If not, simply enjoy.

The British Isles

A cruise is a wonderful way to see the extraordinary beauty of Britain and especially its coastline, which has a special grandeur all of its own. A cruise gives you the opportunity to visit places you might never think of going. Have you ever downed a glass of Guinness in Cork? Or tasted Irish whiskey - note the 'e' - in Belfast? Have you ever seen Charles Rennie Mackintosh's sensational Glasgow School of Art? You may think the idea of cruising the British Isles doesn't sound very exotic. Well, perhaps it's time to drop your prejudices and see 'this sceptred isle' for yourself.

Canary Islands

The Canary Isles, one of Europe's major tourist areas, have been a 'destination of choice' for Britons since the arrival of steamships. The main islands, Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote - all part of Spain - each offer a radically different cruise experience. From the coastlines to the mountains there's 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. Canary Island cruises often visit the Portuguese island of Madeira, a traditional port of call ever since cruising began.

The Caribbean

'Paradise found' is how the Caribbean has been described. It's a world of sunshine, white sand and endless blue sea. The whole rhythm of life is different. You're in holiday mood just being there. It doesn't take long to fall under the spell of the islands with their vibrant life, colourful markets, surf-fringed beaches and perfumed air wafting through waving palm fronds. From Grenada to San Juan, from St Kitts to Barbados it's a sparkling world of cinnamon and spice and all things nice, of colour and music and sheer enjoyment. It's no wonder some people who cruise the Caribbean keep going back.

Hawaii

Hawaii is one of the great cruising destinations of the world.

Mediterranean cruises are the most popular of all cruises and it's easy to see why. The Mediterranean 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. The very names are magical in their different ways. 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

A short cruise is a great way to try out a different ship, or to try cruising for the first time. Three or four day cruises offer great value, far better value than any weekend hotel break in Europe. For a start they are full-board. It would cost a fortune in extras to bring a hotel break up to the standard of of a cruise ship. Treat your loved one to a luxury mini-cruise where you can relax and celebrate in style. Warning. So called mini-cruises on ferries are not what we're talking about. Ferries are not cruise ships!

New England & Canada

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 Boston in September or October, is truly a magical experience. The grandeur of the New England and Canadian coastline is breathtaking. It's 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, full of great natural beauty with immense skies and wonderful forest-clad hills.

Norwegian Fjords

Cruising the Norwegian fjords takes you to a unique world, unlike any other place on earth.

It's a magic world where strawberries flourish in the arctic soil and pansies grow as big as saucers! It's a spectacular world of fantastic scenery where the air itself is so fresh and clean it's almost intoxicating. The fjords are so deep, so steep-sided and so long, they truly welcome you right into the heart of Norway.

The Panama Canal

Truly one of the great wonders of the world. The immensity of the Panama Canal is amazing. The audacity of cutting a 51-mile divide, through sheer rock, between two continents beggars belief. To do so 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 waterworks 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.

Transatlantic Cruises

A transatlantic cruise includes one of the greatest sights in cruising, that's 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 as the famous Manhattan skyline beckons on the horizon. What better way to start or end a transatlantic crossing? Spring and autumn are the peak season, as cruise lines reposition ships between the Mediterranean and the Caribbean.
