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.

Cádiz, Spain
Arrive 0800. Depart 1700.
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. An included panoramic excursion offers a relaxing introduction to the city.

Portoferraio ⚓, Elba
Arrive 0800. Depart 1700.
The rugged island of Elba, dotted with hilltop villages and castles, is set between Italy’s Tuscan coast and the island of Corsica. The principal town of Portoferraio sits at the tip of a deep bay on the northern coast. Yachts and pleasure craft fill the marina while boutiques and cafes line the narrow streets.
A dominating fortress built by the powerful Medici family has guarded Portoferraio since the 16th century. The French emperor Napoleon spent a year in exile in Portoferraio and stayed at the Villa of the Mills, which enjoys a prime setting on a promontory overlooking the Ligurian Sea.
In contrast, Napolean’s simple summer villa in San Marino features a museum displaying art and antiques from the era. Mount Capanne is the highest point on the island of Elba. The summit, 3,340 feet above sea level, can be scaled by cable car, where you can take in far-reaching island views on a clear day.
Optional excursion
Visit the fishing village of Porto Azzuro, home to both natural and historic treasures, such as the Spanish fortress of Longone.
⚓ Land by launch or tender.
Livorno, Italy
Arrive 0800. Depart 1700.
Set on the west coast of Tuscany, Livorno was founded in the 11th century to protect Pisa. During the Renaissance, the powerful Medici family commissioned its old town which features a latticework of canals and fortifications, including Fortezza Nuova. It became a free city during the 17th century, attracting traders which has contributed to its multicultural nature.
Of note are the Baroque facades along Via della Madonna, the restored Duomo and the checkerboard promenade. An included panoramic excursion will reveal this working port’s mix of old and new.
Perhaps visit the Renaissance city of Florence, 65 miles away.
Included excursion
See more of Livorno on an included panoramic excursion.
Optional excursions
See the highlights of Pisa or discover the Renaissance architecture of Florence.
Portofino ⚓, Italy
Arrive 0800. Depart 1700.
Portofino’s collection of pastel-painted houses huddle around a yacht-filled bay backed by low, wooded hills. It has retained its traditional charm over recent decades which have seen it transform from a fishing town into an elite destination for the jet set. The scene is overlooked by Castello Brown, formerly known as the Castle of San Giorgio, a 15th-century fortification.
Explore the cobbled streets, shop for handmade macrame lace where patterns are handed down from one generation to the next, or stroll along the boardwalk to the old-fashioned town of Santa Margherita Ligure.
Optional excursion
Join a relaxing boat trip exploring the Italian Riviera.
⚓ Land by launch or tender.
Calvi ⚓, Corsica
Arrive 0800. Depart 1700.
The Corsican town of Calvi has a sweeping crescent-shaped bay and is overlooked by a vast 15th-century citadel. The walls enclose narrow cobbled alleyways packed with buildings, such as the Cathedral of St John the Baptist and the Oratory of St Anthony.
The fortifications offer panoramic views across the bay to the mountains of la Balagne.
Optional excursion
Visit the historic village of Sant’Antonino or join a guided walking tour through Calvi.

Cartagena, Spain
Arrive 0800. Depart 1700.
Cartagena is a historically significant city, a fact illustrated by its Roman theatre that was only unearthed in 1988. The surrounding hills are crowned by castles while the harbour is protected by an 18th-century sea wall.
Set on the coast of Murcia, Cartagena has been a prized port since the Carthaginians wrapped it in ramparts and there are still portions of these Punic fortifications standing. Other attractions include the 13th-century cathedral in the old town as well as an array of modernist gems, such as the town hall.
Included excursion
An included panoramic excursion offers an introduction to the local area.
Optional excursion
Journey through the foothills of the Sierra Carrascoy to the city of Murcia, capital of the province of the same name. Settled by the Moors in the 9th century and conquered by the Christians in the 13th, this bustling city features an array of architectural styles, from Gothic to Baroque.
Gibraltar
Arrive 1000. Depart 1700.
Watching over the entrance to the Mediterranean, stands the unmistakable limestone Rock of Gibraltar. At its base lies Gibraltar which is connected to the end of the Iberian Peninsula by a sandy isthmus and offers an intriguing blend of British and Spanish culture.
Discover Gibraltar’s Palladian architecture and typically British sights, such as red pillar boxes and familiar high street chains, during an included panoramic excursion.
Alternatively, visit the military museum or ascend the limestone monolith by cable car for panoramic views and to meet the mischievous Barbary macaques. From the top of the Rock you can look out over two continents: Africa lies just 13 miles to the south, whilst Europe stretches to the north.
Included excursion
Uncover Gibraltar’s quirky British charm on an included panoramic excursion.
Optional excursions
Go in search of dolphins and other marine life in Gibraltar’s bay or enjoy a stroll around the Alameda Gardens before capturing a panoramic view of the Gibraltar Rock on an exciting cable car ride.
