CELEBRITY CRUISES

Enjoy an Arctic Circle adventure with Celebrity Cruises

Towering fjords that give way to deep blue skies. Jagged peaks that rise from the depths of the icy ocean. Colourful homes dotting the coastline as you head into Tromsø.

Celebrity Apex takes a holiday at sea to a new level – just like its remarkable, moving Magic Carpet, which offers incredible views from every deck it visits.

FRED. OLSEN

Set sail from the UK and discover the Italian Riviera

Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has been sailing and exploring the world for over 175 years, so itineraries are packed with imagination and unusual experiences. Its ships are smaller than many cruise liners, ensuring excellent service and a more intimate atmosphere. What’s more, you can sail from the UK, meaning you can begin an adventure to the gorgeous Italian Riviera without the need to board a flight.

P&O

Watch the world go by on a 75-night cruise

Want to hold onto that holiday feeling for longer? Then P&O’s longer length cruises are just the ticket. Departing from Southampton on one of four incredible ships, these epic adventures extend from a few weeks to a few months, so you can really unwind and get under the skin of whichever region you want to discover, whether that’s a round-the-world sailing or a grand tour of the Caribbean’s blissed-out isles.

"We booked our first family cruise with our Travel Counsellor, who recommended the ship after experiencing it themselves and gave us everything we needed to know to ensure the kids were fully entertained. The ease of setting sail from the UK was pure bliss."
