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.

Explore the Fortunate Isles
Uncover diverse scenery and nature on this all-inclusive cruise to the Canary Islands in 2026. On route to the Spanish archipelago, pause to visit Madeira and its capital Funchal, home to botanical gardens, wine cellars and a centuries-old cathedral.
Arriving at the greenest of the Canaries, La Palma, explore extensive hiking trails through the island’s dense laurel forests and rich flora and fauna. Continue to Tenerife, where more natural wonders await, from the soaring volcanic peak of Mount Teide and lush Laurisilva Forests to the lava fields of Teide National Park and black-sand beaches.
Lesser-known La Gomera is a haven for nature with its fern-filled forests and volcanic mountains. Admire beautiful coves and beaches in Gran Canaria and the earthy-red vistas of Lanzarote’s Timanfaya National Park before cruising to Portugal’s ancient capital Lisbon to uncover 20 centuries of history and culture.

The capital, Santa Cruz, is set in a sweeping natural amphitheatre and was a hub for New World explorers and merchant traders during the Age of Exploration.

It was in La Gomera that Christopher Columbus readied his ships for his New World adventures. Local legend holds that he took mass in La Asuncion church and water from a well at the manor Pozo de la Aguada, which displays exhibits on the explorer’s expeditions. One of the oldest remaining structures is the stone Torre del Conde tower which protected the wife of the island’s first governor, Hernan Peraza, when ill-treated islanders rebelled in 1488.

Named in Spanish after the reef that edges its shoreline, peaceful Arrecife has been the island’s capital since it took the title from nearby Teguise in 1852. This relatively sleepy port’s origins can be seen in the whitewashed fishermen cottages and 17th-century church set around the coastal lagoon of El Charco de San Gines.
