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.

Arrive 0800. Depart 1700.
Having enjoyed a 21st-century rejuvenation, Northern Ireland’s capital, Belfast, is fast becoming a celebrated haven for literature, art, music and theatre – the Cathedral Quarter is at the city’s cultural heart and well worth a visit.
The city also boasts a rich seafaring history and it was here that the ill-fated RMS Titanic was built. Today visitors can explore Titanic Belfast, which narrates the story of the White Star ocean liner.

Diminutive Killybegs plays host to one of Ireland’s largest fishing fleets. The Maritime and Heritage Centre is housed in the old carpet factory where woollen ‘Donegals’ floor coverings were made by hand for export the world over. A heritage trail leads to a medieval church and well, both named after the patron saint of seafaring – St Catherine – and the ruined Kit’s castle.
Galway ⚓, Ireland.

Galway proudly claimed a new title in 2020 as a ‘European City of Culture’. Its fortunes have ebbed and flowed since the 10th century, as detailed at the Galway City Museum. Well-worn cobbled streets, the 16th-century Spanish Arch and the gargoyle-decorated Lynch’s Castle further remind visitors of its colourful past. As a university city, Galway bustles with life, best experienced in the shopping streets of the Latin Quarter and the ‘craic’ of the pub-filled West End. Further afield, is the rolling green scenery of the Connemara district and sheer-sided Cliffs of Moher.

Studded with islands and islets, Bantry Bay is historically significant; in 1796 a fleet of ships from the French navy moored in the bay in an unsuccessful attempt to conquer Ireland. Your must-see attraction during your time here is Bantry House. This stately mansion is flanked by balustrade-bordered lawns and bursts with opulence. Today, visitors can enjoy a self-guided tour of the rooms and manicured gardens.
You may like to take a trip to Garnish Island, via the ferry from Glengarriff. The island is home to an extensive array of gardens featuring plants not commonly found growing in this climate. Also on the island is a Martello Tower, built to defend the bay. From its battlements, visitors can enjoy impressive views.

Visit the Italian Gardens on Garnish Island, which are criss-crossed by a network of flower-lined pathways or join a scenic drive along the Wild Atlantic Way.
Ringaskiddy (for Cork), Ireland

The 600-year-old castle sits amid 60 acres of gardens and parklands, including the poison garden, home to some of the world’s most dangerous and toxic plants. The Blarney Stone, located at the top of the castle tower, is said to give the gift of eloquence to those who kiss it.
