Discover our holidays in the sun

Our new sun based holidays are bursting with vibrant destinations to explore and personalised experiences to enjoy.

Caribbean sun holidays

Picture an idyllic holiday, picture the Caribbean. Lazing on white sands under palm tree-shaped shadows; crystal-clear waters lapping metres away while you sip from a coconut… It’s the epitome of relaxed holiday days. But don’t be fooled into thinking the Caribbean is just a beach holiday. Each diverse island has a whole wealth of charms waiting beyond its breathtaking coastline.

Mediterranean sun holidays

In 2023, sail with our new ship Arvia to swoon-worthy shores. With beauty waiting at every stop, there’s so much to look forward to. Stroll Marseille’s glittering harbour, enjoy two days in vibrant Barcelona and fall in love with the enchanting frescos of Florence (from La Spezia).

The Canary Islands sun holidays

Island-hop, city-swap and explore all that the region has to offer on your first cruise holiday. And while there is undoubtedly more to enjoy than the beaches and blue skies, some days the turquoise waters and mountain-backed shores might just prove irresistible.

Spain & Portugal sun holidays

Those seeking variety from their holiday will love Spain and Portugal cruises which contrasts fishing villages with ornate cities and an eye-watering mix of architectural styles.
