Our Liv is back with yet another helpful blog post. She's been feeling the UK winter blues... all the way from South-East Asia! So, she's been researching the best cruises to look forward to in the miserable and cold winter months...

Coming soon! Ponant has revealed plans and designs for a 14th vessel to join the fleet, hopefully in 2025.

Introducing Oceania Vista – Your World from a New Perspective.

Oceania Cruises’ latest vessel isn’t just an ordinary addition to the fleet: Oceania Vista will be the first in a brand-new class of ship.

With new innovative dining experiences and dramatic new signature spaces, Vista will offer guests a distinctive and sophisticated level of luxury on some of the most exciting cruise itineraries available.

What makes Explora Journeys different from your usual cruise holiday?

We know that cruising isn’t for everyone, and you might have a pre-conceived idea about luxury cruising – stiff upper lipped clientele, overly formal dining, an average age of 80+.

If that style of cruising isn’t for you, then check out Explora Journeys. The brand-new luxury cruise line from the founders of MSC Cruises.

Oceania Cruises is one of our fantastic elite ocean cruise line partners and we are proud to work closely with them to curate the most memorable and luxurious cruise holidays for our customers.

There are many reasons why Oceania Cruises is the epitome of luxury cruising, which we want to share with you!

One of our most popular destinations for an elite ocean or luxury expedition cruise is Norway.

Understandably, this vast country attracts millions of visitors every year. Known for its snow-capped mountains and winding fjords, Norway is one of the most popular destinations for a luxury cruise. The Land of the Midnight Sun, with its long summer days, is the perfect place for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.

I just returned from three days on board the ultimate expedition cruise ship: Scenic Eclipse. My colleague Emma and I joined the Western Europe Discovery voyage which was sailing from Lisbon to Bergen – however we just sampled a snippet of the journey and embarked in Fowey, Cornwall, and disembarked in Amsterdam three days later.

Water sports are an incredibly popular activity on luxury cruises - especially small ship ocean, expedition, or yacht-style cruises. In particular, snorkelling and scuba diving tend to be high up on many travellers' bucket lists when visiting beautiful islands, golden beaches, or exciting tropical destinations.

Curious about the Amazon Rainforest? Want to delve into the heart of South America but not sure where to start?

Why not jet off to Lima, Peru’s coastal capital city, and begin the adventure of a lifetime sailing down the Amazon River? Perhaps with an intrepid exploration of the iconic Inca Trail and Machu Picchu thrown in there too!

Want to follow in the footsteps of the Vikings?

Head to Northern Europe for a cruise holiday steeped in fascinating history and awe-inspiring landscapes.
