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.

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.

Ian Burrell
One of the most travelled figures within the drinks industry, the award winning “EduTainer”, has redefined the definition of an international spirits ambassador. An ex-professional basketball player in the UK and international recording artist, he has now established himself as the world’s only global ambassador for the rum category.
His passion for rum and cocktails is infectious and, in 2007, he not only created the world’s first international Rum festival (The UK RumFest), he also inspired the birth of rum festivals around the world including Miami, Berlin, Paris, Rome, Madrid, Prague, Hong Kong and Cape Town. As an “Edu-tainer”, he is in constant demand by various rum companies and organisations to give keynote speeches, rum tastings, cocktail presentations and demonstrations to trade and consumers alike.
