Choose between elegant, much-loved Marco Polo, majestic Magellan, classic liner Astoria or glittering flagship Columbus, and awake each day to find a new adventure to discover, a new experience to enjoy, a new vista to savour and new plans to make.

In addition to enjoying the ships’ facilities and amenities, you can choose to take part in a wide variety of on-board activities, organised by the Cruise Director and the team, enjoy light-hearted but absorbing on-board lectures given by guest speakers, perhaps learn a new skill under the expert tutelage of a craftsperson, and go ashore at each port of call to explore – perhaps on an organised optional excursion.
Glittering Nights When evening comes, enjoy a cocktail with new-found friends, sit down to dine in sumptuous surroundings, and take your seat to be royally entertained by the ship’s troupe of musicians, dancers and singers, before a last turn on deck or a nightcap under the stars. On what are for the most part ‘adult only’ cruises (although bookings are accepted from teenagers aged 16 and over at the time of sailing, provided they are accompanied by adult passengers, and a limited number of summer 2019 sailings are designated ‘Multi-Generational’ cruises, where all members of the family are welcome to join the party), you’ll enjoy the pleasures of cruising with like-minded people, discovering and exploring the world in your floating homefrom-home.
Extraordinary Value! Perhaps the greatest pleasure of cruising with us is the great-value price tag! Look out for some wonderful offers, from Saver Fares to Buy-One-Get-OneFree prices that make it easier for you to join a cruise to somewhere you’ve always wanted to discover, or to treat yourself to an upgraded cabin, or a special experience while you’re aboard or ashore. There’s never been a better time to cruise – we look forward to welcoming you aboard!
