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.
Observe the solar eclipse off the Moroccan coast
Admire the subtropical flora of Tresco Abbey Gardens on the Isles of Scilly before cruising to Portugal on this all-inclusive solar eclipse cruise to Europe in 2027. On the mainland, visit Leixoes, gateway to the historic city of Oporto, then cruise to the volcanic island of Madeira, known for its namesake wine and laurel forest. Before reaching Gibraltar, Spirit of Adventure will cruise to a prime spot for observing the solar eclipse, off the coast of Morocco. Once in Gibraltar, head to the Upper Rock where St Michael’s Cave features stalagtites and stalagmites formed over thousands of years.
Returning to mainland Portugal, visit Portimão, on the popular Algarve. The city is renowned for its golden beaches, charming old quarter and lively marina, bookended by the historic forts of Santa Catarina and São João. While the capital city of Lisbon is spread across seven hills and is home to the landmark sites of Jeronimos Monastery and Bélem Tower, both included on UNESCO’s World Heritage list. The final port of call, La Coruña, is set in Spain’s unique Galician region. This historic maritime city has medieval lanes and plazas within its old town, and the UNESCO-listed Tower of Hercules can be found 13 kilometres away at the end of a coastal promenade.
