How our discounts work
On all cruises we set aside a number of cabins within each grade at a discounted fare, with the highest discount of 35% for ocean cruises and 25% for river cruises available on selected grades. 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 and grade. 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.-

Ålesund, Norway
Arrive 0800. Depart 1600.
Ålesund has a character unlike any other Norwegian town. After a fire tore through the wooden fishing village in 1904, it was rebuilt in the prevailing Jugendstil style.
Wander its streets, admiring the art nouveau architecture and myriad turrets, spires and medieval ornamentation, explore the Atlantic Sea Park, one of Europe’s largest aquariums, or discover Ålesund’s many squares which feature sculptures commemorating significant events in the town’s history.
Optional excursion
Take a scenic cruise along the beautiful Hjørundfjord or discover the Art Nouveau treasures of Ålesund on a guided walk.

Alta, Norway
Arrive 1700 on March 24. Depart 1700 on March 26.
Alta has a sheltered setting at the head of the Altafjord and is surrounded by mountains, forests and coastal scenery. From UNESCO-listed rock art carved by hunter-gatherers thousands of years ago, to its Sami culture and attractions like the Sorrisniva Igloo Hotel, Alta offers much to discover.
Included excursion
Wrap up warm in a complimentary Arctic jacket and set off for an included evening around the campfire, far removed from any light pollution to up your odds of viewing the colourful celestial light show.
Optional excursions
Hold on tight as you glide across the hinterland on a dog sledge ride, meet some Sami reindeer herders for an insight into their nomadic lifestyle or visit Sorrisniva Igloo Hotel which is re-built every year.
Tromsø, Norway
Arrive 0900. Depart 1800.
Often referred to as ‘The Gateway to the Arctic’, many Polar expeditions have begun in Tromsø. Its glories past and present are retold in the Polar Museum, a 19th-century wooden warehouse set on the harbour front. The city’s setting at 69 degrees north of the Arctic Circle also means that it is perched squarely within the Aurora Belt. See the iceberg-like Arctic Cathedral as part of an included panoramic excursion, or discover the cable car which offers fine views across the city and the Botanic Gardens where plants hardy enough to survive the extreme environment are showcased.
Included excursion
An included panoramic excursion will reveal the highlights.
Optional excursions
Join a thrilling dog-sledging or reindeer sledding excursion that will whisk you across the frozen backcountry.

Bergen, Norway
Arrive 0800. Depart 1700.
Bergen’s historic waterfront, UNESCO-listed Bryggen, is graced by colourful gabled buildings that hark back to its days as a member of the Hanseatic League. The Hanseatic Museum, housed in one of the old warehouses, features antique furnishings for an insight into merchant life. The wharf neighbours Bergen’s old town of characterful 17th to 18th-century wooden houses that adorn cobbled lanes and attractive squares. An included panoramic excursion reveals one of the oldest buildings still standing, 12th-century St Mary’s Church.
Included excursion
Look forward to an included panoramic excursion of Bergen.
Flåm ⚓, Norway
Arrive 0800. Depart 1700.
The idyllic village of Flåm is hidden away at the end of the Aurlandsfjord, an arm of the Sognefjord. The winter landscape surrounding Flåm is particularly attractive at this time of year. The biggest draw though is the historic Flåm railway, which winds up from the fjord through the Flåm Valley for over 10 miles to Myrdal station. It is dubbed ‘the world’s most beautiful train journey’ as it passes high above deep ravines, snakes through mountain tunnels high above snow-covered valleys, passing frozen waterfalls along the way.
Optional excursions
Travel aboard Flåm Railway, one of Europe’s most beautiful rail journeys, especially at this time of year.
