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.

The vibrant cities of Portugal and Spain await…
Delve into the culture, history and traditions of Portugal and Spain on this all-inclusive cruise to the Iberian Peninsula in 2026 at an ideal time for sightseeing, without the summer crowds and heat. Set at the mouth of the Douro River, Leixoes is a great starting place from which to visit nearby Oporto where the cobbled streets of the old town are brimming with historic buildings.
Continue south to visit the capital Lisbon, a vibrant city that is easily explored on foot, by vintage tram or by Tuk Tuk. Begin your Spanish exploration in Malaga, whose wealth of historical sights include the Moorish citadels of Alcazaba, the ruins of Gibralfaro Castle and a Roman amphitheatre. The iconic work of one of the city’s most famous sons, Picasso, can be seen at the Museu de Picasso in the artists’ quarter.
Further Roman influences are revealed in Cartagena, whose harbour is protected by an 18th-century sea wall. While Palma, Majorca’s elegant capital city, features Moorish influences among its attractive maze of streets. Uncover the awe-inspiring architecture of Gaudi’s Barcelona and visit Gibraltar with its monolithic limestone mountain.

Cartagena is a historically significant city, a fact illustrated by its Roman theatre that was only unearthed in 1988. The surrounding hills are crowned by castles while the harbour is protected by an 18th-century sea wall. Set on the coast of Murcia, Cartagena has been a prized port since the Carthaginians wrapped it in ramparts and there are still portions of these Punic fortifications standing. Other attractions include the 13th-century cathedral in the old town as well as an array of modernist gems, such as the town hall.

Alternatively, visit the military museum or ascend the limestone monolith by cable car for panoramic views and to meet the mischievous Barbary macaques.
