ROYAL CARIBBEAN
Enjoy the world’s largest waterpark at sea
The siren sounds as you all grip the sides of your raft and slide down a watery tube. Spinning around a corner, you all squeal and laugh before getting drenched by a curtain of water and descending into the warm confines of the pool. “Let’s go again!” shriek the kids. Are you game? Royal Caribbean’s Icon of the Seas features the world’s largest waterpark at sea, so you have six record-breaking slides to try out, including the Frightening Bolt, the tallest waterslide at sea.
SILVERSEA
Spot tumbling waterfalls in Croatia
You hear it before you see it – the exhilarating sound of the Skradinski Buk waterfalls cascading over 17 natural barriers. You’ve heard the falls intermittently from a distance as you’ve followed the wooden walkway through Krka National Park with your guide. As the waterfall comes into view, it tumbles in a horseshoe shape over the rocks, plunging a short drop into the shallow green pool below. Discover this natural beauty on an ultra-luxurious Silversea cruise.
VIRGIN VOYAGES
See beautiful blooms in Amsterdam
The noise of the city is replaced by the buzz of pollinators and the whistles and chirps of birds as you enter Amsterdam’s Hortus Botanicus. Slowly wandering through this sensory oasis, you’re greeted by a rainbow carpet of fragrant and colourful flowers. You lean in to marvel at the delicate rose-pink flowers of the whorl heath, a flower now extinct in the wild but flourishing here, before watching the sunlight play over the gigantic plants in the humid palm house.
"I had never cruised before and didn’t know where to start but my Travel Counsellor gave us cruise choices, stuck within our budget and was always on hand whenever needed. They are currently planning our next cruise."

PRINCESS CRUISES
Gaze up at 20,000 blue tiles in Istanbul
As you wind your way through the streets of Istanbul with your guide, you notice the Blue Mosque’s minarets stretching towards the sky. Step inside and you can’t help but look up, captivated by 20,000 blue Iznik tiles that adorn the ceiling. Each intricate tile belongs to a seemingly infinite kaleidoscope of patterns, which gleam in the light.
NCL
Ride the Aqua Slidecoaster to the USA
The striking new Norwegian Aqua isn’t just an incredible cruise ship. It’s home to the Aqua Slidecoaster, the world’s first hybrid rollercoaster and waterslide. If you consider yourself an adventurous seafarer, then its dual slides – which snake around the ship’s funnel and stand three stories high – are for you. Sailing from the UK to Boston, this is the ultimate transatlantic journey.
