The Cruise Edit

Wake up somewhere new every day...

A cruise is a stress-free, all-in-one holiday where everything is taken care of – accommodation, dining, entertainment, and travel between destinations. Unpack once and wake up somewhere new each day, from tropical islands to historic cities.

Ocean or river, cruises offer great value with round-the-clock dining, activities for all ages, kids’ clubs, spas, cultural excursions, and adult-only spaces. You can socialise with fellow travellers or enjoy peaceful moments – whether on a large resort-style ship or an intimate boutique vessel.

Modern ships bring comfort and variety: luxurious cabins, multiple dining options, pools, theatres, live shows, fitness classes, and more – all alongside stunning sea views and wildlife sightings. Cruises also make it easy to explore multiple destinations in one trip, with excursions offering everything from guided tours to outdoor adventures. Sail from the UK or fly out to meet your ship, with the option to add hotel stays.

Blending adventure, relaxation, and world-class service, cruising has something for everyone. Whether you’re seeking culture, cuisine, or the joy of being at sea, our Travel Specialists can help you find the perfect itinerary – for first-timers and seasoned sailors alike.

Your booking bonus

Every Experts’ Pick holiday comes with an added extra - our way of making your trip even more special. It could be access to an airport lounge, a free tour or a complimentary upgrade for example. Think of it as a finishing touch to an already perfect holiday, included at no extra cost.

Black Forest

Nestled in the tri-border area, where Germany meets Switzerland and France, the Black Forest region is a land of adventure like no other: Sun-drenched peaks and dense forests provide a harmonious contrast to the valleys that are home to 321 towns, cities and villages.

Europa-Park

The Europa-Park Resort excites millions of visitors from all over the world each year. Germany’s largest theme park, along with Rulantica, one of Europe’s largest water worlds, is the perfect short break destination for families, friends and couples of all ages.

Stuttgart

Stuttgart Airport is the gateway to the Black Forest and the airport experience is just the start. A daily flight schedule with the UK allows for perfect tailor-made holiday experiences - whether it be a short break locally or a multi-stop adventure.

Why it’s trending: No-fly cruises from UK ports like Southampton, Dover, and Tilbury are on the rise as travellers seek convenience and sustainability. Skipping the airport cuts hassle for families, makes travel easier for cruisers, and reduces the carbon footprint - all while offering the same world-class cruise experience right from the UK.

Why it’s trending: British travellers love value, and cruise lines are stepping up with all-inclusive pricing. Drinks, Wi-Fi, tips, and even excursions are bundled in, taking the guesswork out of budgets and making holidays smoother and more enjoyable.

Why it’s trending: Expedition cruising is booming as UK travellers seek adventure with a touch of luxury. Small ships and expert guides open up remote destinations like the Arctic and Galápagos, offering intimate, once-in-a-lifetime experiences far from the usual tourist trail.

Why it’s trending: Travellers want more than just a getaway – they’re seeking meaning, connection, and stories to share. With wellness retreats, culinary voyages, and themed sailings, cruises are evolving into richer, more experiential journeys.

Why it’s trending: Younger travellers are reshaping cruising, seeking wellness, flexibility, and authentic experiences over tradition. Boutique, luxury, and river cruises stand out with immersive itineraries and a personalised touch.
