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.
See the dramatic vistas of the Scottish Isles and the Faroes
Set on the southern coast of Ireland, the town of Cobh is renowned for its colourful waterfront and Gothic Revival St Colman’s Cathedral. From Cobh you can visit the historic city of Cork, where highlights include the Victorian Gothic St Fin Barre’s Cathedral and English Market, an 18th-century covered food market. From here, Spirit of Adventure will cruise into the North Atlantic to visit a new port of call, Runavik, on the remote Faroe Islands. Enjoy an extended visit to this ruggedly beautiful island chain, where Runavik, the largest settlement on Eysturoy Island, nestles between the coast and the scenic Skalafjørdur fjord.
Continue to the Scottish Isles of Lewis, Orkney and Shetland, home to a treasure trove of Neolithic sites, ancient monuments and Viking influences that reveal a millennia of complex societies. The diverse geology of these islands also create a haven for seabirds and other wildlife that are best observed at this time of year.

Set beside one of the world’s largest natural harbours, Cobh is a seaside town renowned for its brightly coloured waterfront buildings. The Gothic Revival St Colman’s Cathedral perches on a steep hillside overlooking the town. The busy port was the embarkation point for 2.5 million people who emigrated to America between 1848 and 1950. The Titanic Experience, which is in the town’s former White Star Line ticket office, retells the plight of the ill-fated ship which made her last stop here.
From Cobh you can visit the riverside city of Cork on an included excursion. Alternatively, head to Blarney Castle to kiss the Blarney Stone and explore the grounds.
Included excursion

Optional excursion
Visit Blarney Castle and its famous stone. The 600-year-old castle sits amid 60 acres of gardens and parklands, including the poison garden, home to some of the world’s most dangerous and toxic plants. The Blarney Stone, located at the top of the castle tower, is said to give the gift of eloquence to those who kiss it.

The remote Faroe Islands are a beautifully wild archipelago of 18 volcanic islands. Runavik, a new port of call for Spirit of Adventure, is the largest settlement on Eysturoy Island and nestles between the coast and the scenic Skalafjørdur fjord.
Included excursion
See more of the region’s rugged scenery. An undersea road tunnel links Eysturoy to Streymoy, the largest of the Faroe Islands.
Optional excursion
Visit Kirkjubøur to enjoy coastal views of the surrounding islands.
Arrive 0800. Depart 1700.
Originally a Viking settlement, Stornoway is the bustling capital of the Outer Hebrides, set in a natural harbour overlooked by the Victorian gothic-style Lews Castle. The town is set on the east coast of the Isle of Lewis, known for its Harris Tweed, a cloth hand woven by the islanders for centuries.
Included excursion
See more of your surroundings on an included excursion.
Optional excursion
Step back in time with a visit to the Gearrannan Blackhouse Village where generations of crofting families once lived.
Arrive 0800. Depart 2000.
An archipelago of mostly flat, green-topped islands ringed with red sandstone cliffs and sandy beaches, the Orkneys lie due north of John O’ Groats. Although remote, these rugged and unspoilt islands offer a rich history and are home to the oldest and best-preserved Neolithic site in Europe, Skara Brae. Kirkwall is the largest town and capital, where you can visit the medieval St Magnus Cathedral or delve into the islands’ fascinating Viking heritage.
Included excursion
See the historic sights of Kirkwall, including the Stones of Stenness and the UNESCO-listed Ring of Brodgar, on an included panoramic drive.
Optional excursion
Visit Scapa Flow, a large natural harbour and a key naval base during World War One and Two.
Arrive 0700. Depart 1630.
The remote Shetland Islands sit around 200 miles from Aberdeen and, of nearly 100 islands, only 20 are inhabited. The capital, Lerwick, derives its name from the Old Norse for ‘mud bay’ and reflects the area’s Viking heritage, as do the archaeological sites to be found here. The geology of these 100-plus islands is so diverse that they are a designated global Geopark and, unsurprisingly, they’re also teeming with seabirds and other wildlife.
