Top cruise destinations
Cruises are a great option not just for big group trips or family holidays, but also for solo travellers looking for a worry-free getaway.
Whether you’re looking to relax on the deck as you island-hop through the Mediterranean, explore picturesque coastal towns in Northern Europe, or set sail for the white sands and vivid blue waters of the Caribbean, we’ve got you covered with the best cruise deals in the seven seas.
Planning your cruise
Cruises give you the chance to see multiple destinations all in one trip while eliminating the hassle of transport. In fact, on cruises, transportation is part of the fun! Lay out on the deck taking in the sunshine and sea air, book a massage, or relax in the pools—cruises always have plenty for you to do as you make your way from port to port. Cruises are typically all-inclusive, meaning that once on board you don’t have to worry about meals either—everything is taken care of. We only select the very best offers for you, so you can be sure our deals are top in both quality and value.
Cruises let you see the world at your own pace. Travel to popular destinations like Mexico and the Caribbean to spend your days laying on sun-soaked beaches and exploring the sights and sounds of vibrant port cities. Feeling adventurous? Book a cruise to see the imposing fjords of Norway up close, or head far down south to high-energy cities like Buenos Aires, Argentina. We bring you top-quality offers to a range of destinations, from the tried-and-true beach getaways on islands like Puerto Rico and Jamaica, to more off-the-beaten-path trips in places like Montenegro or Alaska.
So why wait? Browse our latest deals to find the cruise that’s perfect for you, and get ready to pack your bags for your upcoming adventure.
When is the best time to take a cruise?
Enjoy the open sea lounging on the deck and by the pool on a summer trip, escape the cold British winters by exploring the Mediterranean, or soak up the last warm days of the year with a holiday in the autumn.
If you choose the right destinations, a cruise is a worthy endeavour any time of the year. That being said, you can save a few quid by booking in the off season, depending on where you want to go, and particularly if you find an early bird deal.
For example, cruise providers are less likely to plan trips to the Caribbean and Southeast Asia during the British summer months, as it coincides with the start of the hurricane or rainy season in those areas. Therefore November through March are the best months to get your fix of sun.
Is there a high and low season for cruises?
The high and low season depends on your destination. The high season for Mediterranean cruises is summertime, but many travellers prefer the milder temperatures of spring and fall. Asia is popular in winter, but can get too hot and humid in summer.
Cruises over the Baltic Sea are most beautiful in summer, when the sun never sets in many Nordic countries and you can experience the "white nights" in St. Petersburg—the downside, however, is that prices are highest at this time of year. If you don't mind missing the midnight sun and can handle the breezy weather, you'll find better deals booking a Baltic Sea cruise in spring or autumn.
Which cruise lines are all-inclusive?
This is a tricky question to answer, as all-inclusive can mean different things on different cruises! By default, all cruises are full board; this means all of your meals onboard, breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included so you won’t be stranded in the middle of the ocean with a rumbling tummy if you run out of money on your trip.
In the cruising world, all-inclusive tends to mean alcoholic drinks and tips/gratuities are included. If you want an all-inclusive cruise, keep an eye out for deals that say ‘with drinks and tips’, ‘drinks inclusive’ or ‘premium drinks included’. And while a cruise can be all-inclusive, this doesn’t mean any flights or transfers will be included, so check what you are actually getting for your money before you book. It’s also important to remember that although a cruise may include three main meals per day, most ships have premium restaurants onboard which charge a supplement and these probably won’t be included unless specified.
Always check the terms and conditions of what is and isn’t included, as this can vary quite a lot between different cruise lines. So, to answer the question, all cruise lines can be all-inclusive — if you pay for it!
When is the cheapest time to go on a cruise?
The price of a cruise depends on a lot of factors:
Time of year
Destination
Cruise line
Cruise ship
Popularity of the cruise
For example, during the summer, Mediterranean cruises are super expensive as generally the weather is great and kids are off school, which in turn drives up demand. If you're dead set on an affordable cruise to the Med, try and aim for non-peak travel periods (September-March).
However, if the Caribbean sounds ideal, December to April is the most popular period due to the dry and hot weather. So try and aim for late summer and early autumn if you want the best deals—but be warned, this is Hurricane season and so the weather may be unpredictable.
