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.

Introducing Portugal, Morocco and the Canaries
Begin by cruising to Portugal, where the ancient maritime ports of Lisbon and Leixoes await. Continuing to Morocco and the Strait of Gibraltar, stroll the warren of cobbled streets in Tangier’s historic Medina and gaze at the soaring 600-feet-tall minaret of Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca.
Then, head further south on this all-inclusive cruise to the Canary Islands where the volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote and Tenerife contrast with the lush green scenery of La Palma and golden beaches of Fuerteventura .
Finally, an overnight call to Madeira offers the opportunity to explore the island’s capital Funchal and to admire the clear, starry skies this region is renowned for.

The history of this Moroccan port on the Strait of Gibraltar, just 20 miles from the Spanish coast, goes back to the ancient Greeks and its beginnings are embedded in mythology. It is believed to have taken its name from Tingis, the daughter of Atlas, the mythical supporter of the Heavens. It was later ruled by the Romans and Arabs while Spain, Portugal, France and England also played important parts in the city’s diverse history.
The city lies on a bay between two promontories and you can enjoy superb panoramic views if you head up to the ancient Kasbah, a former military fortress now full of elegant buildings and architecture while the Medina – the oldest part of town – is a warren of cobbled streets boasting a chronology of architectural styles charting the city’s colonial history. Perhaps sip a mint tea at a pavement cafe and watch the bustle of everyday life unfold around you.
