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.

Vienna, Bratislava and Budapest await your exploration…
This all-inclusive, city-break style river cruise on the Danube in 2025 visits the timeless cities of Vienna, Bratislava and Budapest.
Begin by discovering the attractions of the Austrian capital Vienna, such as Schönbrunn Palace. See some of the highlights, including the Ringstrasse and Opera House, during an included tour.
Sail overnight to Bratislava, arriving in the morning for another full day in a historic capital city. The old town of Slovakia’s capital is easily explored on foot. The ancient cobbled streets lead to Bratislava Castle, which offers a bird’s-eye view of the city.
Then, spend the morning and afternoon cruising towards Budapest. Enjoy the passing scenery, including the picturesque Danube Bend. An overnight mooring in Budapest gives you a full day to uncover landmark sights, such as UNESCO-listed Buda Castle, both independently and during an included excursion.
Itinerary
Spirit of the Danube
Travel to Vienna and embark Spirit of the Danube.
Depart 2300.
Vienna is the capital of Austria: home to the waltz, coffee houses, the Prater wheel and one of the world's finest opera houses. It is the city where Marie Antoinette grew up and where Mozart died, and for 600 years was the centre of the Hapsburg Empire.
An included excursion in the afternoon will reveal some of the highlights, including the Ringstrasse and Opera House. Sail overnight.
Arrive 0800.
The old town of Slovakia’s capital is easily explored on foot. The ancient cobbled streets lead to Bratislava Castle, which offers a bird’s-eye view of the city.
The Gothic-style Cathedral is where eleven Kings of Hungary were crowned while Turks occupied their own capital.
Depart Bratislava, 0400.
Scenic Cruise, Danube Bend.
Arrive Budapest, 1900.
Following an early departure from Bratislava spend the morning and afternoon cruising towards Budapest, along the scenic Danube Bend.
Budapest is a city made up of two parts: Buda and Pest, built on opposite banks of the Danube. The cities have been officially united since 1873, but they are still very different in character.
Buda is the older and more graceful, with its cobbled streets, medieval architecture and UNESCO-listed Buda Castle, while Pest is the administrative and commercial centre, with wide avenues and 19th-century public buildings.
This morning, enjoy an included coach tour of the city with the opportunity to alight at Heroes Square and the St Stephen’s Basilica to explore briefly on foot.
Disembark Spirit of the Danube after breakfast and begin the return journey.
