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.

Cruise into the Arctic Circle
Cruise into the Arctic Circle, admire fjord and mountain scenery, visit Norway’s Hanseatic port cities and perhaps glimpse the magical Northern Lights on this all-inclusive cruise to Norway in 2026.
The Hanseatic city of Bergen boasts a historic waterfront of colourful gabled buildings, easily explored on foot. Its charming old town features cobbled lanes punctuated by attractive squares lined with characterful 17th-century wooden houses.
Continuing north into the Arctic Circle, enjoy an extended stay in Narvik, nestled between mountains and fjords. Tromsø and Alta provide more exciting opportunities for winter activities, from dog-sledding and snow-shoeing, to scenic cable car trips and breathtaking helicopter rides.
In the evenings, from the comfort of Spirit of Discovery, you can head out on deck for the opportunity to observe the natural phenomenon of the Northern Lights. From Honningsvåg, venture to the North Cape on an included excursion, before cruising south to Ålesund with its art nouveau architecture and myriad spires and medieval ornamentation.
Included excursion in every port

With a scenic setting between mountains and fjords, Narvik is a popular destination for hiking and skiing. It was originally developed as an all-year ice free port for the Swedish Kiruna and Gallivare iron mines and is the starting point for the Ofoten Line, built in the late 1800s. Journeying through impressive scenery, this train line also passes sites associated with the Battle of Narvik, which took place during World War Two and is documented in the Narvik War Museum.

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 seafront. The city’s setting 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 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.

This deep-water harbour is the northernmost point of mainland Europe and gateway to the North Cape. The oldest building in town is the neo-Gothic 19th-century church as most other buildings were destroyed during World War Two. A small museum by the port reflects on the region’s fishing heritage and daily life.

For a unique experience, head to a frozen lake for an introduction to ice fishing.
