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.

The Fortunes
Formed in Birmingham in 1963, The Fortunes first came to prominence and international acclaim in 1965, when “You’ve Got Your Troubles” broke into the American and British top ten. Following in the wake of Merseybeat, and the R&B of the Rolling Stones, The Fortunes added another dimension to the sound of pop, with their sophisticated orchestration, dual lead vocals and counter-melodies. In 2021 the band resumed a UK theatre tour as part of the Sensational 60s Experience package and released their album “Special Moments”. The Fortunes signed to US label “Creative & Dreams” in 2022, releasing the singles “Hello My Friend” and “One Special Moment (US Remix), both hits on the UK Heritage Chart. The Fortunes continue to perform in Europe and the UK as part of ‘The Sensational Sixties Experience Tour’ and hope to do so for many years to come!
