On all cruises we set aside a number of cabins within each level at a discounted fare, with the highest discount of 35% for ocean cruises and 25% for river cruises available on selected levels. These cabins are sold on a first come, first served basis. As cabins are sold, the discount begins to reduce, and continues to reduce until those selected cabins are sold.
This means that the earlier you book, the higher the chance of securing a greater discount. Our price panels clearly show the full cruise price, along with the current discount fare.
Please note: During busy periods for holiday bookings, the early booking discount can reduce rapidly. We recommend that you book early to benefit from the best booking discounts and to secure your preferred cabin.
When promoting new cruises for the first time, we contact customers on our Advanced Registration list first, allowing then to secure the cabin of their choice and benefit from the best savings. Our brochures are then sent out to loyalty club members first, followed by past cruise goers and then everyone else.

Itinerary
Portsmouth
Embark Spirit of Adventure.
Depart 1700.
Plymouth ⚓
Arrive 0800. Depart 1700.
Set on the Dorset coast, Plymouth has served as a centre for trade and a base for exploration and military action. It was from here, in 1577, that Sir Francis Drake embarked on the first ever circumnavigation of the globe. In 1620 the puritan Pilgrims emigrated from Plymouth bound for the New World on board the Mayflower. You can still visit the Mayflower steps.
In 1690 the first Royal Dockyard opened on the banks of the Tamar west of Plymouth. The port played a major role in the Napoleonic Wars and also in both World Wars. You can find out more at The Devonport Naval Heritage Site and Visitor Centre. You will step ashore in the historic Barbican area of the city, the ideal starting point for independent exploration.
