Cruise L2641 - German Christmas Markets
Sails from Southampton on 16th December 2026 for 6 nights
In the run-up to the big day, there’s no better way to embrace the festive spirit than on a cruise to explore Christmas Markets. Hamburg is home to one of Germany’s most renowned, and we’ve planned an overnight stay so you can soak up the atmosphere by day and night. The Rathausmarkt in Town Hall Square comes alive at this time of year, with charming wooden huts twinkling with lights, offering everything from handmade crafts and ornaments to wooden toys. Warm up with a steaming mug of glühwein and sample traditional specialities like lebkuchen, bratwurst and roasted chestnuts. We’ll round off your Christmas Markets cruise with a call to the pretty harbour town of Honfleur, with its cobbled streets and colourful half-timbered houses.

Cruise L2720 - Fjords Mountains & Waterfalls of Norway
Sails from Southampton on 11th July 2027 for 8 nights
As summer begins to bloom, Norway’s fjords are at their most striking, with long days and vivid scenery inviting you to take it all in. Sailing Nordfjord brings you past Hornelen, Europe’s highest sea cliff, while Lustrafjord – an arm of mighty Sognefjord – leads to Skjolden, the country’s innermost fjord port. Scenic diversions take you along Lysefjord, only accessible to smaller ships and home to the famous Pulpit Rock, and Åkrafjord to capture views of Langfoss Waterfall. Ashore, adventure calls with RIB rides and kayaking on glassy waters, hikes to the thundering Feigefoss Waterfall, and the chance to journey along the Sognefjellet mountain road, northern Europe’s highest pass, where sweeping views stretch across peaks and valleys.

Cruise L2722 - Spain Siesta & the Solar Eclipse
Sails from Southampton on 28th July 2027 for 11 nights
As summer reaches its height, this sailing invites you to slow down, soak up the sunshine and share in a celestial spectacle few will ever witness. A two-day stay in Cádiz places you at the heart of a total solar eclipse, with the astronomers of Go Stargazing offering expert commentary to enrich the experience on board. Ashore, Cádiz delights with golden beaches, palm-shaded squares and the passionate rhythms of flamenco. Elsewhere, the cable car to the top of Gibraltar’s iconic Rock rewards with sweeping views across two continents, while Vigo and La Coruña tempt with Galician tapas tours and crisp Rías Baixas wines. Between ports, life on board drifts easily between laid-back pool days and siesta-ready afternoons.
