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.-

Arendal, Norway
Arrive 0800. Depart 1700.
Lighthouses line the rugged coast on the scenic approach to Arendal, a picturesque harbour town set against a forested hill. The heart of the old town, known as the Tyholmen, is situated near the harbour. Its narrow streets are bordered by elegant old buildings which are a legacy of the town's heyday when, in the 18th century, it was a major player in Europe's shipbuilding industry. The architectural highlight is the town hall, a white-painted wooden pile, which was originally built in 1812 as a merchant's private mansion.
Oslo, Norway
Arrive 0800. Depart 1700.
Oslo’s roots reach back to the Viking era when Harald Hardrada, in 1040, established a trading place at the head of the Oslofjord. It is a compact city packed with theatres, art galleries and museums. The Munch Museum is dedicated to the life and works of the celebrated Norwegian artist Edvard Munch, while Vigeland Sculpture Park has 200 pieces made by the artist after which it is named. Landmark sights the Opera House, Nobel Peace Centre and City Hall can be seen from the waterfront.
Included excursion
Oslo’s green spaces, historic buildings and modern architecture will be revealed on an included panoramic excursion.

Gdansk, Poland
Arrive 0800. Depart 1700.
Once a major trading port for medieval merchants, today Gdansk is a thriving and vibrant city. Gdansk’s old town features Dutch-style terraces of narrow multi-storied townhouses and was fully restored following heavy damage during World War Two. The centrally located main square is fronted by the Gothic town hall and is home to the Fountain of Neptune. Other attractions include the European Solidarity Centre museum and Oliwa Cathedral with its ornate Baroque and Rococo interior, which you will visit during an included panoramic excursion.
Included excursion
A panoramic overview will include a visit to the towering Oliwa Cathedral.
Visby, Gotland, Sweden
Arrive 0900. Depart 1700.
The medieval walled city of Visby stands as a reminder of the Hanseatic League’s power and influence. Set on the strategically located island of Gotland, it was the Baltic’s main centre of trade during the 12th to 14th centuries. Limestone towers and red-roofed merchant houses are encircled by remarkedly well-preserved 13th-century ramparts, and the unique UNESCO-listed townscape is dominated by the towers of St Mary’s Cathedral which was constructed between 1190 and 1225.
Optional excursions
Take a guided stroll through the historic heart of Visby and visit the 11th-century St Mary’s Cathedral.
Rønne, Bornholm, Denmark
Arrive 0900. Depart 1800.
Set on the small island of Bornholm, the town of Rønne features cobbled streets and distinctive round churches. Visit the Hammerhus – the largest fortress ruin in northern Europe, and there are a number of museums in the area dedicated to the town’s ceramics and maritime history.
Copenhagen, Denmark
Arrive 0800. Depart 1700.
The cosmopolitan Danish capital is an eclectic mix of architectural styles which attest to its long history. Once a small village, it was fortified when Bishop Absalon of Roskilde built a castle here in 1167. Attractions include Tivoli Gardens, characterful Nyhavn Canal graced with 17th-century houses, the Baroque-inspired Christiansborg Palace and Rococo Amalienborg Palace, residence of the Danish Royal Family. The Little Mermaid Statue, which has been plucked straight from Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy-tale of the same name, graces the waterfront. An included excursion will help you get your bearings.
Included excursion
A panoramic tour is a great way to see some of the city’s attractions.
Optional excursions
A visit to the Christiansborg and Amalienborg Palaces will contrast their resplendent interiors, follow the trail of Danish author Hans Christian Andersen and enjoy a canal cruise to see the city from a different angle.
Skagen, Denmark
Arrive 0800. Depart 1700.
Skagen is set at the northern tip of the Jutland Peninsula, near the confluence of Baltic and North Sea. A group of artists, drawn by Skagen’s special blend of exceptional light quality, rugged landscapes and simple way of life, established a colony here during the late 1800s. Their legacy can be found throughout this popular holiday destination with its shifting sands and white sand beaches, colourful cottages and relaxed atmosphere. The Skagen Art Museum features work inspired by the unique surroundings. Get an overview of the town on an included panoramic excursion.
