Read moreHow our discounts work
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 Cornwall’s scenic coast to the Isles of Scilly
Trace the south west coast of England from Portsmouth to the historic port of Plymouth, from where Sir Francis Drake set off on the first circumnavigation of the globe in 1577 and from where the puritan Pilgrims left for the New World on board the Mayflower in 1620.
Continue your all-inclusive mini cruise to the Cornish coast to visit the thriving port town of Falmouth, home to the National Maritime Museum Cornwall which documents the influences of the sea on the region’s history and culture. Just off the Cornish coast in the Atlantic Sea you’ll visit the Isles of Scilly, an unspoilt archipelago of over 140 islands.
Your two included excursions will be in
- Falmouth
- Tresco Abbey Gardens, Isles of Scilly

Plymouth ⚓
Arrive 0800. Depart 1700.
Set on the Devon coast, Plymouth has served as a centre for trade and a base for exploration and military action. It was from here, in 1577, that Sir Francis Drake embarked on the first ever circumnavigation of the globe. In 1620 the puritan Pilgrims emigrated from Plymouth bound for the New World on board the Mayflower. You can still visit the Mayflower steps.
In 1690 the first Royal Dockyard opened on the banks of the Tamar west of Plymouth. The port played a major role in the Napoleonic Wars and also in both World Wars. You can find out more at The Devonport Naval Heritage Site and Visitor Centre. You will step ashore in the historic Barbican area of the city, the ideal starting point for independent exploration.
