Read moreHow our discounts work
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.
Cruise the Celtic Sea
On Cornwall’s scenic coast, experience the vibrant atmosphere of Falmouth, known for its rich maritime heritage. Positioned by the Fal Estuary, the town is the start and finish line for many record-breaking sea voyages including those of Dame Ellen MacArthur and Sir Robin Knox-Johnston.
Cruise onto the Celtic Sea to the naturally beautiful Isles of Scilly, where you can visit Tresco Abbey Garden and admire its collection of subtropical flora set within the ruins of a Benedictine Abbey. While the Irish village of Ringaskiddy offers a gateway to the historic city of Cork, where attractions include St Fin Barre’s Cathedral and the 18th-century English Market. This all-inclusive, mini cruise in 2027 is a great introduction to the southern British Isles and it begins and ends with a relaxing day at sea, an ideal opportunity to enjoy the facilities on board Spirit of Discovery.
