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.

Swaying palms, white-sand beaches, turquoise waters…
Embark on an all-inclusive cruise to the Caribbean in 2025, island hopping from one tropical paradise to another. En route, discover the natural beauty of Faial, one of the volcanic islands of the Azores before arriving at Antiqua, discovered by Columbus in 1493 and located at the ‘gateway to the Caribbean’.
Continue to St Barthélemy, with its pristine beaches, and St Kitts where the gauge railway, built originally for sugar cane transportation, is now used for scenic journeys across the island. Tortola has a fascinating history of pirate ambushes and is home to the highest volcanic peak of the Virgin Islands.
While Willemstad has a UNESCO-listed harbour and Dutch influences. Visit tropical St Lucia and Barbados where the capital Bridgetown features a historic Garrison, also included on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Return via the Azores to explore the dramatic island of Sao Miguel with its crater lakes and bubbling fumeroles.
Five included panoramic excursions
- St John's, Antigua
- Willemstad, Curacao
- Bridgetown, Barbados
