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 from the Shetland Islands to Guernsey
Steeped in Viking history, myths and legend the British Isles are the focus of this all-inclusive cruise in 2025. Follow in the wake of the Vikings to the Shetland archipelago in the North Sea and Stornoway, capital of the Outer Hebrides. Oban offers dramatic scenery and castles, and a gateway to the Hebridean Isles.
Continue into the Irish Sea where Douglas, capital of the Isle of Man, and Northern Ireland’s cultural capital Belfast await. While Guernsey, a hidden gem in the English Channel, not only offers cream teas but also features unique German fortifications, Victorian forts and Neolithic sites.
Your three included excursions will be in
- Lerwick, Shetland Islands
- Douglas, Isle of Man
- Belfast, Northern Ireland
Looking out for whales with ORCA
You’ll be joined by wildlife experts from ORCA, the foremost European whale and dolphin conservation charity, who are devoted to studying marine wildlife and protecting it for future generations. Look forward to the chance to spot whales, dolphins, seabirds and an array of other wildlife out on deck throughout your voyage, the perfect vantage point to view and learn more about wildlife in their natural habitat.

Lerwick, Shetland Islands
Arrive 0800. Depart 1700.
Fringed by unspoilt beaches, with a unique array of wildlife and a dramatic Viking past, the Shetland archipelago is made up of over 100 islands scattered in the North Sea. Lerwick, from the Norse word ‘Leirvik’ meaning ‘muddy bay’, is the main town and port, offering a quaint array of arts and crafts shops and a museum which charts the history of the islands.
Included excursion
Uncover the island’s highlights on an included panoramic excursion.
Optional excursions
Delve into the islands’ history further with a visit to Jarlshof, a settlement that spans 4000 years dating back to the Neolithic period.
Stornoway ⚓, Isle of Lewis, Scotland
Arrive 0900. Depart 1700.
Originally a Viking settlement, Stornoway is the bustling capital of the Outer Hebrides, set in a natural harbour overlooked by the Victorian gothic-style Lews Castle. The town is set on the east coast of the Isle of Lewis, well-known for its Harris Tweed, a cloth hand woven by the islanders for centuries.
Optional excursions
Visit the famous Calanais standing stones which pre-date Stonehenge and were a focus for ritual activity during the Bronze Age.
Oban ⚓, Scotland
Arrive 0800. Depart 1800.
Arrive in the unofficial capital of the West Highlands and the gateway to the Hebridean Isles. The coastal town and the surrounding area offer bird-watching opportunities, as well as dramatic scenery, castles, museums and shops. Although evidence suggests that Oban Bay has been settled since Mesolithic times, the town owes its development to the distillery that was established here in 1794, at which time Oban began shipping alcohol, wool, slate and kelp to larger ports, such as Glasgow and Liverpool.
Enjoy the scenery as Spirit of Adventure cruises along the Sound of Mull, passing Tobermory on the Isle of Mull.
Douglas ⚓, Isle of Man
Arrive 0800. Depart 1800.
Set in the middle of the Irish Sea, the Isle of Man is a self-governing kingdom designated a biosphere reserve by UNESCO. Horse-drawn trams run along the seafront promenade and nearby is the Manx Museum, home to an extensive collection of artefacts documenting the history of the island. The ruined 11th-century Peel Castle is located on the island’s west coast and to the north is the Isle of Man Motor Museum – each year throughout May and June the island transforms into a motorbike racetrack for the Isle of Man TT.
Included excursion
A panoramic excursion will introduce you to the island’s highlights.
Belfast, Northern Ireland
Arrive 0800. Depart 1800.
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.
Included excursion
An included panoramic excursion will reveal some of the highlights of Belfast.
Optional excursion
Belfast is the gateway to some of Northern Ireland’s most picturesque coastal and countryside scenery. From here, you could travel to see the geometric columns of Giant’s Causeway, created as a result of an ancient volcanic eruption
