A glENtON cruise is like no other holiday. When you sail into the sunset on a world class ship, exotic, far-flung places that you might never reach are yours to explore. What other type of holiday presents you with a different, thrilling destination almost every day? Cruise to the top of the world, explore iconic cities, discover the raw beauty of Greenland or soak up the sun on a voyage around the Canaries. Days at sea are equally exhilarating with lots to do both day and night. Have a dip in the pool, relax in the jacuzzi, learn a new skill or maybe attend an informative talk about the next exciting port. When night falls, take in a lavish Broadway-style show or the latest cinema release, flirt with Lady Luck at the casino or sip your favourite cocktail to the soothing sounds of piano music. Bliss...
