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.
Explore the Canaries under the winter sun
Cruise to the warmth of the Canary Islands in 2026, calling at the verdant island of Madeira on the way. Look forward to island hopping from the lush scenery of La Palma to Tenerife, crowned by the World Heritage Site, Mount Teide. The scenic walking trails and ancient forests of La Gomera are sure to be a highlight of your Canary Island adventure.
Continue to Gran Canaria and its subtropical capital Las Palmas, and on to Lanzarote, home to the crater-studded landscapes of Timanfaya National Park. Extended time in most ports gives you more time to uncover the unique attractions of each island.
Your return journey includes a visit to Portugal’s sprawling capital city Lisbon, whose UNESCO-listed sites include Jeronimos Monastery and Bélem Tower.
