Set sail from the picturesque and historic port of Dover with Holland America, with their convenient roundtrip Dover itineraries returning in 2026.

As you embark on your cruise, be greeted by the iconic White Cliffs of Dover—a sight that has welcomed travellers for centuries.
Soaring castles, medieval towns, and coastal vistas abound in Northern Europe, where centuries of history can be seen in every stately manor and untamed moor. Explore off the beaten path in Greenland, cruise Norway and Iceland’s crystal fjords, journey across the diverse Baltics, or visit the fairytale British Isles. With Holland America's new 2026 itineraries, you can cross the Arctic Circle in search of the incredible northern lights or sail in the shadow of the sun on a 2026 Solar Eclipse cruise, with roomy wraparound decks which guarantee a front-row seat to this awe-inspiring cosmic phenomenon.

A group of Travel Counsellors recently headed to Alaska with Norwegian Cruise Line, setting off from Seattle aboard Norwegian Bliss. The trip gave the group a chance to experience the ship and its ports first-hand, picking up ideas and insights to share with customers planning their own cruise. And with Alaska on the bucket list for so many, there was plenty to look forward to once the ship left Seattle behind.
Some holidays are about fitting in as much as possible. Others give you the luxury of taking your time. A voyage along the Atlantic coasts of Spain and France with Cunard offers a little of both: days spent discovering great food, architecture, and historic cities ashore, balanced by unhurried time on board as the scenery changes beyond the ship. In 2027, consider a seven-night voyage from Southampton aboard Queen Anne. You can wake up ready to explore Bilbao, spend the following days discovering Galicia, and finish with a taste of Normandy, without changing hotels or repacking along the way. Two days at sea create a natural pause between these stops, giving you time to enjoy the ship rather than simply moving from one destination to the next.
Cunard’s new voyages for October 2028 to May 2029 bring together winter sun, European city stays, and far-reaching journeys across the world. Guests can mark a milestone at sea on Queen Mary 2, spend an evening in Rio de Janeiro during Carnival with Queen Anne, or join Queen Elizabeth for a 115-night World Voyage. There’s also a 10% Early Booking Saving on eligible bookings made by 30th December 2026.*
