Get ready for a Mediterranean summer, the Seabourn way

02 October 2026

There are plenty of ways to see the Mediterranean, but arriving by small ship can reveal a very different side of it. With Seabourn, a summer voyage can take you from celebrated cities and islands to smaller harbours and coastal towns that don’t feature on every Mediterranean cruise itinerary. One day might bring the whitewashed streets of a Greek island, the next an ancient archaeological site, a colourful local market, or a yacht harbour tucked along the French or Italian Riviera.

Beyond the magic: Why a Disney cruise is the perfect holiday for every generation

01 September 2026

When you think of a Disney cruise, you might expect a holiday designed first and foremost for children. So, when Head Office colleague Steve Hawker booked a cruise on Disney Dream for his three young children, he expected them to have the holiday of a lifetime. What he didn't expect was that the rest of the family would be just as enchanted. Travelling as a group of 13 across three generations, the experience quickly became far more than a children's holiday. From the moment their family was announced on board to the sound of Disney's famous horn fanfare, it was clear this was a cruise designed to bring everyone together, no matter their age.

Make 2027 the year you cruise together with P&O

21 August 2026

Whether it’s a family holiday, a getaway with friends, or simply an excuse to spend more time together, P&O Cruises makes it easy to see several places in one trip. With itineraries taking in Spain, France, Portugal, and the Norwegian fjords, you can go from sunny waterfront cities to some of Norway’s most impressive scenery, while returning to the same ship at the end of every day. And, with on-board spending money available on selected Select Price holidays, there’s a little more freedom to make your time at sea your own.

Why Norwegian Cruise Line's Great Stirrup Cay deserves a place on your travel wish list

10 August 2026

When you think of a Caribbean cruise, it's often the ports of call that steal the spotlight. But Norwegian Cruise Line is changing that with its private island, Great Stirrup Cay. Already loved for its white-sand beaches and laid-back Bahamian atmosphere, the island is entering an exciting new chapter with the launch of Great Tides Waterpark in September 2026. Combined with new dining experiences, family attractions, and relaxing adults-only spaces, Great Stirrup Cay is evolving into a destination that's every bit as exciting as the cruise itself. Whether you're travelling as a family, a couple, or with a group of friends, here's why this private island is worth getting excited about.

Why the Douro should be your next river cruise

24 July 2026

River cruising has a wonderful way of slowing the pace of travel, allowing you to truly immerse yourself in a destination rather than simply passing through it. That couldn't have been more true for our Head Office colleague, Janet Whitingham, who recently returned from Riviera Travel's ‘Highlights of the Douro Valley & Salamanca’ itinerary on board MS Riviera Rose. Sailing through one of Europe's oldest wine regions, Janet discovered a journey that combines spectacular scenery, charming riverside towns, exceptional food and wine, and fascinating history - all while unpacking only once.
