How 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.

Delve into a region rich in culture and natural heritage…

Discover the rise and fall of the Mediterranean’s great civilisations past and present on this all-inclusive cruise to the eastern Mediterranean in 2025. Founded by ancient Greeks, Syracuse is renowned for its well-preserved ruins and UNESCO-listed centre known as Ortygia. A call to Pireaus provides the opportunity to visit Athens, birthplace of democracy and home to the ancient Acropolis.

Cruise to Turkey to visit Kusadasi, gateway to the classical ruins of Ephesus, Cesme with its 16th-century castle, and Canakkale, where a replica of the Trojan horse graces the waterfront. Continue to Mykonos, famed for its windmills, and Malta where the Knights of St John built fortifications and watch towers between the 15th and 16th centuries. Finally, visit Malaga, where you can see the Moorish citadels of Alcazaba and the ruins of Gilfarbaro Castle.

Your five included panoramic excursions will be in
