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.

At the northern tip of Denmark, discover Skagen’s exceptional quality of light that inspired 19th-century impressionist painters, and take a look at some of their work. Cruise south to Jutland where Fredericia features historic ramparts and is a new port of call for Spirit of Discovery.
Enjoy an extended visit to Latvia’s capital city Riga, which has a UNESCO-listed old town and a wealth of Art Nouveau architecture. While the Lithuanian city of Klaipeda, built in the Middle Ages, boasts numerous sculptures, including a statue of Ann from Tharau and a Magical Mouse, a diminutive bronze sculpture reputed to convert good wishes into reality. Continue your all-inclusive cruise to Poland and explore the beautiful medieval quarter of Gdansk with its Dutch-style terraces of narrow multi-storied townhouses. Return to Denmark to explore the cultural sights of Copenhagen and street art of Aalborg. The final port of call on this Scandinavian adventure, Kristiansand, sits on Norway’s southern Skagerrak coast.
