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.

Experience the lively atmosphere of Casablanca
Uncover 3,000 years of history in ancient Cádiz before cruising to the bustling Moroccan port of Casablanca, where European, North African and Arab influences can be seen. The lanes of the city’s 19th-century medina are overlooked by Moorish buildings that lead to the colonial downtown and the exotic spice and fruit stalls of the Central Market.
Continue south to the Canaries where each island has its own unique identity. Step ashore in the greenest of the Canaries, La Palma, where large tracts of its laurel forests have been declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Its capital, Santa Cruz, was a hub for New World explorers and merchant traders during the Age of Exploration and its history is reflected in the 16th-century Castilian architecture. While Tenerife, whose skyline is dominated by the World Heritage Site, Mount Teide, is known for its dramatic coastal cliffs, black volcanic beaches and the lunar-like landscapes of Teide National Park.
This all-inclusive cruise in 2027 concludes with an overnight visit to the ‘floating garden in the Atlantic’ Madeira, home to the world’s largest laurel forest and Botanical Gardens.

3,000-year-old Cádiz is Western Europe’s oldest continually inhabited city since its founding by the ancient seafaring Phoenicians. It is strung along a peninsula, and was refortified in the 17th-century after the British attacked twice, nearly destroying the city. Key landmarks include the Baroque and neoclassical cathedral with its yellow dome and the adjoining El Sagarario, the Roman amphitheatre, Castillo de Santa Catalaina and the Torre Tavira – one of 129 watchtowers dotted throughout the city.

From its 7th-century Berber origins to days under French colonial rule, Casablanca is a blend of European, North African and Arab influences. The lanes of the 19th-century medina are enclosed by whitewashed Moorish buildings that lead to the colonial downtown and the exotic spice and fruit stalls of the Central Market.

La Palma is the greenest of the Canaries and large tracts of its laurel forests have been declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reerve. The capital, Santa Cruz, is set in a sweeping natural amphitheatre and was a hub for New World explorers and merchant traders during the Age of Exploration.
