Anticipating Antarctica: My Maiden Expedition Cruise

Discover the Charms of the Caribbean with P&O Cruises Join an unforgettable cruise to the Caribbean, in a traditionally British setting…

As the year draws to a close, many of us are dreaming of sun-kissed beaches and crystal-clear waters to escape the winter – but why not make this dream a reality? Far-flung from our own British shores, the Caribbean is home to a world where you can discover soft sand, turquoise seas and gently swaying palms and is the ultimate destination for relaxation. The Caribbean may appeal, but if you still hanker after the joys of home, then fear not! The brand new no-fly cruise promotion below will take you to the very best destinations that the Caribbean has to offer – in the utmost traditional British comfort.

A P&O Cruises holiday is a very special way to escape from the rigours of everyday life and to explore many different destinations in one of the most relaxing ways imaginable.

They proudly fly the flag for British cruising, from the very best of the British food scene to entertainment that always hits the mark, every last detail is thoughtfully tailored to British tastes. Plus, all prices will be in pound sterling, protecting you from exchange rate fluctuations.

No-fly cruising allows you to enjoy your experience-of-a-lifetime without the stress of tiresome flights, lengthy delays, transfers and overnight hotel stays – taking out the hassle from travelling, meaning you can start your holiday the minute you step on board. Not only this, but you can enjoy a choice of on board spending money, coach transfers or car parking, plus free stateroom upgrades to ensure that you have the very best cruising experience possible!

Your 28 night no-fly Caribbean cruise departs 29th October 2019 as you embark the adults-only Arcadia and depart Southampton, bound for warmer climates.

With three days at sea following your departure, you can take the time to get to know Arcadia as she cruises the North Atlantic Ocean.

Exclusively for adults, Arcadia combines the chic with the classic, offering a relaxing ambience in stylish surroundings that everyone will feel comfortable in. Arcadia’s signature features, such as her exterior glassfronted lifts and expansive art collection, featuring no less than 3,000 works of art, create a sophisticated air. Foodies will be spoilt for choice in the two-tier main restaurant, or for a treat Atul Kochhar’s spice sensation Sindhu will set your taste buds alight. With over six places to dine, a luxurious salon and spa (which includes a hydrotherapy pool and a thermal suite), dazzling entertainment with a three-tier

theatre and boutique cinema plus over nine places to socialise, you’re bound to find something to appeal!

Your first port of call is the capital of Portugal’s Madeira archipelago, Funchal.

Known as the ‘Floating Garden of the Atlantic’, Funchal boasts breathtaking landscapes, dramatic ravines and lush woodland. Whilst here, you can visit the Monte Palace Tropical Gardens or perhaps hop on the Botanical Garden Cable Car for an unforgettable trip to the colourful Jardim Botânico.

Six days at sea follow your adventure in Funchal, and you will find that the sun gets warmer and warmer the more you cruise – so be sure to spend time up on deck soaking it up! Your next port of call is to stunning Bridgetown in Barbados. Whilst here, you will notice a very British atmosphere which offers a holiday paradise for all from beautiful beaches, inviting clear blue seas and rolling sugar cane fields. You’ll be sure to find something to suit all tastes.

Next, you will arrive in one of the most picturesque towns in the Caribbean and unofficial ‘Spice Island’, St. George’s, before stopping at the island of St. Lucia. Cloaked in verdant rainforests, its skyline dominated by the dramatic twin peaks of Les Pitons and its gardens a riot of hibiscus and bougainvillea; St. Lucia is the epitome of a Caribbean paradise. Here, take a trip to

From top: Funchal, Madeira; Azores, Portugal; Pitons of St Lucia

Castries Market, the perfect place to buy hand-crafted souvenirs to take home!

From destinations entrenched in calming Caribbean charm, to a destination rich in vibrant energy. Roseau, Dominica’s compact capital is a hustling, bustling and diverse place – the streets are lined with historic buildings, and a blend of French, Spanish and English architecture is evident in the buildings there. Best discovered on foot, Roseau offers plenty for the keen sightseer – the French Quarter, the suburbs of Newtown, Citronier and Castle Comfort are all worth a visit!

Pretty St. John’s is next on your itinerary and the friendly locals will welcome you with wide smiles and open arms. Here, there is time to relax and watch the yachts sailing in and out of the harbour or enjoy the vibrant fish and fruit markets in the town centre. If you’ve ever dreamt of the Caribbean chances are it looked a lot like your next destination, St. Kitts. Its perfect mixture of deserted beaches, sleepy villages, lush rainforest greenery and mini mountain range with dormant volcano could perfectly represent paradise. This unspoilt paradise is true Caribbean, exactly as you’d dreamed it.

An intriguing mix of cultures is represented in your next port of call. Divided between two countries, St. Maarten is harmoniously shared by the French and the Dutch. This gives the island two distinctive flavours to discover, with the quiet sophisticated French north, and lively, vibrant Dutch south. A shopper’s paradise awaits with plenty of duty-free shops to explore or wander along Great Bay Boardwalk and enjoy the crystal blue waters, as well as a range of restaurants with cuisine to suit all tastes.

After more time at sea, you will arrive in your final destination, the capital of São Miguel, Ponta Delgada. Ponta Delgada proudly displays a mix of the modern and traditional, creating an ambience that is quite pleasing to its visitors. Aside from its plentiful shopping district, Ponta Delgada is home to the natural hot springs in Furnas, beautiful volcanic landscapes at the Lagoa do Fogo and breathtaking scenery of the blue seas at Sete Cidades – so be sure to explore whilst here!

As you depart Ponta Delgada, homeward bound, you will undoubtedly feel sombre as your unforgettable cruise comes to an end.

But think yourself lucky, you’ve been to the Caribbean! Not only this, but you’ve been to the Caribbean and you haven’t had to forgo any of your British home comforts – that’s what P&O Cruises are all about. They take you to places you never thought you’d see… on board a ship that is as comfortable as your own home – and when you consider that this ultimate cruise is available from less than £79pp per night, what are you waiting for?

distinctive ring-shaped volcanic caldera.

A portion of the caldera wall has collapsed and created a navigable opening into the flooded interior. The natural harbour inside the island includes Whalers Bay, home to an abandoned whaling station known as Hektor and a derelict British base. We should be able to visit the relics at Whalers Bay if the weather behaves.

During our six days in the Antarctic we should also get to Neko Harbour (more penguins...this time Gentoo) and Wilhelmina Bay, which is surrounded by mountains and high glacier walls. And, of course, we shall be looking out for icebergs wherever we are.

This is going to be a real adventure for both Jim and me. In the past we’ve always headed for the sunshine. Basically we don’t do cold.

But who could resist the chance to visit such a unique and unspoiled wilderness?

We shall be there when this icy continent becomes the breeding ground for millions of penguins, whales and seals which spend the rest of the year at sea. The statistics about this place are in themselves staggering: the krill on which most of the wildlife thrives is so abundant in the Southern Ocean that it represents the largest biomass of one species on earth:

Andreas Kalvig Anderson/Hurtigruten

By TV presenter, journalist and Ambassador for Reader Offers Ltd Jennie Bond “Antarctica”... I keep saying it to myself in disbelief. My husband and I are going to one of the most remote places on earth: somewhere we never expected to see.

One of the more tedious aspects of growing older is that life tends to become rather repetitive. We have travelled widely – both as a couple and as journalists. I’ve been to many countries several times and, often, even those I haven’t visited before simply remind me of somewhere else.

“Oh, doesn’t it look just like parts of the Highlands?” I said to Jim on a recent trip to South Africa, as we drove through the hills of the Cape Peninsula. He thinks I’m mad.

But Antarctica. Now that really is going to be something different.

The prospect of visiting a continent that remains virtually untouched by humans and is home to wildlife that can withstand some of the most hostile conditions on the planet, fills me with awe and excitement.

I’m a big fan of ocean cruising, but working with the team at Reader Offers Ltd has opened up all sorts of new opportunities – from river cruises to this: our very first expedition cruise.

We’re travelling with the specialists, Hurtigruten: one of the leaders in explorer voyages across the globe. We’re leaving in late November next year, flying to Buenos Aires for a two night stay before taking an internal flight to the very tip of Argentina. There we shall board MS Midnatsol - built to navigate expedition voyages of all types.

Mind you, I’m glad to say it doesn’t sound as if it skimps on luxury! If we find the freezing weather chills our old bones too much, we shall admire our surroundings from the comfort of the two-storey panorama lounge. There’s also a sun deck and Jacuzzi, a fitness room

and sauna, plus bars, a café, a library, two restaurants – one of which is à la carte - a shop and an amphitheatre.

The itinerary is brimming with opportunities to see the amazing landscapes, seascapes and wildlife that the coldest reaches of the southern hemisphere brings.

We shall be on board for eleven nights, and during the voyage south across the notorious Drake Passage we shall be entertained and educated by a series of lectures from the expedition team.

This is a continent very much dedicated to peace, science and tourism. Strict environmental guidelines and rules therefore protect and preserve a vulnerable environment that has evolved through millennia without human interference. We want to leave nothing but footprints in the snow and take nothing but pictures!

We shall be there in the Antarctic summer, so the days will be the longest I‘ve ever experienced. I can’t quite get my head around the idea of virtually 24 hours of daylight!

For a start, when shall we have sundowners? I’m looking forward to sharing the novelty of it all with our

fellow travellers. There will be a variety of expeditions every day – from zodiac shore landings to kayaking, snowshoeing and hiking. It’ll be fun to compare notes every evening when we all head back to the ship.

Even the most sophisticated technology can’t override some of the climatic challenges that are thrown at you in this part of the world, and we are told to expect the unexpected as we go along the planned route.

We’re hoping, though, to see the South Shetland Islands: home to chinstrap penguins, Antarctic terns, Kelp gulls, Snowy sheathbills and several species of seals. If we’re lucky, we may also see elephant seals – huge creatures which I found rather comical when I once came across them on a remote beach during a trip with Prince Charles. I discovered that they have terribly bad breath and fart a lot.

I’ve also been told to be prepared to witness the brutalities of nature: leopard seals feeding on the penguins, or killer whales playing the death game with seals to show their calves how to hunt.

One of the highlights of the South Shetlands is Deception Island; a

including humans. The walls of ice which reach up to the polar plateau measure some 2,000 metres high.

I’m told that many people become very humbled by their experience of being in Antarctica. And we are fully expecting to be overwhelmed by the majesty of the landscape.

They say that if you can describe Antarctica, then you’ve probably never been there.

Well, we are going, and when we get back, I shall do my very best to put the whole experience into words. I am prepared, though, to fail.

Don’t miss your chance to sail to Antarctica with Jennie by joining her on the voyage featured below - packaged exclusively by the experts at Reader Offers Ltd. You could be sharing a zodiac tour alongside the former Royal Correspondent, hear tales of her time with the Royals as you enjoy evening drinks or attend a Q&A session hosted by Jennie – only available to Reader Offers Ltd guests. There’s never been a better time to discover the white continent!. For more information, call Reader Offers Ltd free on 0800 251 1145 or visit www.rolcruise.co.uk.

ANTARCTICA HIGHLIGHTS Half Moon Island, South Shetland Islands The serrated and crevassed cliffs are home to a colony of Chinstrap penguins as well as Antarctic terns, Kelp gulls, Snowy sheathbills, Wilson’s storm petrels, and several species of seals are regular visitors.

Half Moon presents many photographic opportunities with its wildlife posed against scenic backgrounds and Antarctic highlights. The Teniente Camara Station and view point is a popular place to look for whales in the bay facing towards the Bransfield Strait.

Yankee Harbour, South Shetland Islands The main attraction for many visitors is Yankee’s terraced Gentoo penguin colony with an

estimated 4,000 breeding pairs.

Yankee Harbour offers views across the McFarlane Strait to Livingston Island and out into the Bransfield Strait, a common feeding area for whales.

Neko Harbour The bay is surrounded by the mountains and alpine glaciers of the peninsula and its wildlife makes it a perfect arena for beautiful impressions. Neko Harbour is attractively located in the innermost part of the bay and takes its name from a whaler which was anchored here in the early 1900s. Neko is one of the very few places on the Antarctic Peninsula where one can come ashore on the Antarctic mainland.

On land, there is a colony of Gentoo penguins.

Wilhelmina Bay The mountains and high glacier walls of the Antarctic Peninsula around Wilhelmina Bay convey a mighty impression of ice and water. Everything from calving glacier fronts to floating ice, the magnificent contrasts of the interplay of the elements.

CANADA IN THE FALL INDIA’S GOLDEN TRIANGLE

Witness Canada in the fall on a timeless Unearth the mystery of India’s Golden Triangle & sail the Arabian Sea & unforgettable journey with Cunard city life, your next destination, Saguenay, is sure to excite.

Fall is the best time to visit Canada & New England, and with this voyage you can immerse yourself in the midst of it…

There is no better place to be in the autumn months than Canada – a bold statement, but a true one nonetheless.

Iconic maples slowly change to scarlet and orange, fog rolls over mirror-like lakes, early morning dew collects on crisp foliage and unbelievable sunsets decorate the evening skies. The visual impact of Canada in the fall is simply incomparable, and a sight that must be seen in one’s lifetime.

With the sensational 29 night no-fly brand new launch promotion below, you can join Cunard’s Queen Mary 2 on a voyage to witness the autumnal spectacle of Canada and New England for yourself, whilst taking advantage of all that Cunard have on offer. Take advantage of exceptional added benefits including on board spending money of up to $1,150, courtesy of Cunard, plus exclusively when booking with Reader Offers Ltd, Balcony Staterooms and above will receive a free pre-cruise hotel stay and car parking package so that you can begin your holiday with seamless ease.

Cruising is the best way to see the world and Cunard has been learning its trade since 1840. Practice indeed makes perfect, as when embarking on a Cunard voyage, you can expect the crème de la crème of traditional, sophisticated and opulent cruising. Cunard’s magnificent, remastered flagship, Queen Mary 2 is uniquely suited to embark on this ultimate voyage and will ensure you have a holiday-of-a-lifetime.

Cunard has refreshed and refitted many of Queen Mary 2’s fabulous restaurants, bars and lounges to create settings of even greater elegance and ambience, wonderful places where guests can savour the reinvigorated menus. You’ll also find fresh, modern décor throughout the different grades of accommodation and many new staterooms to enhance the comfort and the choice available for every voyage.

Your unforgettable voyage to Canada in the fall begins as you depart Southampton on 26th September 2019 bound for France’s romantic capital, Paris. Timeless Paris is iconic as the ‘City of Love’ and houses architectural icons, exquisite cuisine, chic boutiques and artistic treasures everywhere that you look. Whilst here, be sure to sample some of the gastronomic fare and visit world-class museums including The Louvre. Of course, no trip is complete without ascending the Eiffel Tower for blistering views of Paris – we can’t promise

Surrounded by three national parks and the Saguenay Fjord, mesmerising autumn scenery is aplenty with deep blue waters, craggy pine-studded cliffs and innumerable wildlife sightings available. Here, the breathtaking scenery and sheer immensity will leave you in awe at every turn.

Next, you will arrive in Sydney, Nova Scotia, the historic capital of Cape Breton and largest urban centre on the island.

Unique experiences abound here; why not stroll the harbourfront boardwalk, join a relaxed walking tour of the colonial town of Old Sydney, founded by Loyalists fleeing the American Revolution, visit the Natural Historic Site of the Fortress of Louisbourg or experience Nova Scotia’s Gaelic culture, heritage and hospitality with a visit to Highland Village. If history is your pleasure, Sydney will deliver.

Halifax, Gateway to Atlantic Canada, is the capital region of Nova Scotia and is a lively and colourful combination of urban and rural living at its best. The historic downtown waterfront areas of Halifax and Dartmouth are perfect for discovering on foot and as you dock here, be sure to take time to discover all that it has to offer.

Clockwise from above: Château Frontenac, Québec, Canada; A moose in its natural habitat; Awe-inspiring Autumn scenery in Canada

that you’ll find love, but we can guarantee you’ll fall in love with Paris.

As you depart Paris, you can look forward to six uninterrupted days at sea.

As you cruise, why not take the time to become accustomed to your home-fromhome, the impressive Queen Mary 2, and utilise your on board spending money?

Begin your first day at sea with Cunard’s famous afternoon tea in the Queens Room, served by white-gloved waiters, or take a seat in Illuminations and enjoy a 3D film, planetarium show or famous Insights speaker. You can also take part in a wine tasting experience in the Britannia Restaurant, hosted by the Chief Sommelier on board or treat yourself to a meal in one of the speciality restaurants in Kings Court. Whatever you choose to do on your sea days, make sure that you are suitably revitalised for your second port of call, the unforgettable, iconic New York City.

The air is crisp and the landscape is painted with brilliant shades of red, yellow,

orange and gold – autumn has to be one of the best times to visit New York. Why not venture out to Long Island and enjoy a traditional horse-drawn hayride through the picturesque vineyards, and don’t forget to try the delicious seasonal delicacies on offer, including pumpkin pie, apple cider donuts and caramel and candy apples.

If you can bear to depart this bustling city, your next port of call will prove itself worthy of your visit. Bar Harbor is one of the best places to visit in Maine and New England.

With adventure, romance, the rock-bound coast and soaring granite cliffs – you will discover a special mystique to Bar Harbor.

Your next port of call will give you the slice of the Canada that you’ve been dreaming of. For outdoor enthusiasts, Corner Brook, Newfoundland is the best of what Canada has to offer. The wildlife is plentiful, including herds of caribou and more moose than anywhere else in Canada. There are rivers of trout and spawning salmon, seals and whales roam the waters offshore, while

bird sanctuaries dot isolated areas. If you’re a wildlife enthusiast, then it may be worth your while to venture further afield and explore the surrounding areas with your camera!

From a wilderness playground, to a cosmopolitan port, Sept-Îles is the next destination on your itinerary before you voyage onwards to timeless Canadian highlight, Québec City, for a two night stay.

Home to many of the city’s most famous sights, Upper Town’s Old City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offers a dramatic view of the St. Lawrence River and the surrounding countryside. Other highlights include riding the funicular for incredible panoramic views, taking a walk through Terrasse Dufferin – a beautiful terrace built in 1879 – or visiting the majestic Château Frontenac. If two days of sightseeing don’t appeal, then there are plenty of boutiques, quirky restaurants and bars and fabulous fall landscapes to soak up.

With its fascinating nature and bustling

Your final port of call before returning home to Southampton, is a second stop in New York City. If you didn’t get a chance to see all that this busting, lively city has to offer then now’s your chance! Sightseeing opportunities abound; shop until you drop on Fifth Avenue, see the bright lights of Broadway, experience the bustling Times Square and view spectacular Manhattan from the top of the Statue of Liberty.

As you cross the Atlantic homeward bound, you will have another six days at sea to make the most of all that Queen Mary 2 has to offer, plus, if you have any on board spend left then now’s the time to use it! Take a RADA acting, watercolour or digital living class with workshops on Apple devices. Alternatively, enjoy a Martini Mixology class or Whisky tasting in the Commodore Club, visit the Clarendon Fine Art Gallery and enjoy a glass of Champagne and a presentation on the life, style and influences of Jack Vettriano. You could also treat yourself to an exclusive art purchase from the exhibition!

Most of all, be sure to spend some time thinking back over the once-in-a-lifetime experiences that you’ve had on this unforgettable voyage.

There are few destinations in the world that are more mystical, culturally diverse or rich in heritage, than India. American Author Mark Twain expressed that “India is the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend, and the greatgrandmother of tradition.” India, spoken about here with such honour is a curious place in the world, and one that many desire to explore. But how does one know where to begin in such a wildly diverse and intricate country? You need look no further, as the sailing below highlights an unforgettable Cox & Kings tour of India’s Golden Triangle, combined with an all-inclusive ultra-luxury voyage with sensational Silversea.

Only available to book with Reader Offers Ltd, this exclusive promotion not only seeks to enlighten you to a nation enriched with culture and beauty, but provides you with exclusive added value courtesy of Reader Offers Ltd. You will receive exclusive savings of up to £3,400, a two night luxury hotel stay in Dubai, a complimentary Premium Class flight upgrade and of course, the included six night Cox & Kings tour and nine night Silversea voyage.

Designed for those who delight in the thrill of discovery whilst indulging in the plushest surroundings, you can be sure that Silversea will not disappoint. Whilst on board, discover Silversea’s Signature style: from superlative service to spacious ocean view suites; butler service for all guests to complimentary wines, Champagnes and spirits throughout the ship; gourmet menus inspired by Relais & Châteaux to complimentary in-suite dining and so much more!

Ashore, an extensive collection of land adventures offer a convenient, seamless way to extend your travels and when you return to the ship, sophisticated entertainment and a staff-toguest ratio of nearly 1:1 ensures your every need is taken care of before you need to ask.

On 10th April 2019, begin your holiday in style, as when booking a Medallion Suite or above, you will enjoy a Premium Class flight upgrade - exclusive to Telegraph readers. As you arrive in Delhi, transfer to the Imperial Hotel for a two night stay and begin your exclusive Indian Golden Triangle tour.

Clockwise from above: Amber Fort, Rajasthan; Taj Mahal, Agra; Humayun’s Tomb, Delhi

As you awake to bustling Delhi, you will be delighted to spend a full day touring Old & New Delhi. In Old Delhi discover the Jama Masjid, one of the largest mosques in the world. From here walk through the Old Delhi Bazaar passing the silversmiths’ market and, continuing down Chandni Chowk, a bustling bazaar. When the British chose Delhi as their capital in 1911, they appointed two architects, Sir Edwin Lutyens and Sir Herbert Baker, to plan and build a new city to rival the fabled cities of the Mughals. New Delhi was thus built in true colonial style with tree-lined avenues, colonial bungalows, the Parliament House, the War Memorial Arch and the Viceregal Palace, now the official residence of the President of India. During your tour, you will drive past India Gate and the President’s Palace and visit the tomb of the Mughal Emperor Humayun, and the preMughal monument Qutb Minar.

The following day, you will have the opportunity to tour Agra Fort. The earliest reference to Agra can be found in the epic Mahabharata where it is referred to as the Agravana. It was from the 16th century onwards, however, that Agra rose to prominence as the capital of the Mughals when the city was beautified with gardens, waterfalls, bathhouses and canals. Following your tour, you will have the once-in-a-lifetime chance to visit the Taj Mahal at sunset. One of the New Seven

Wonders of the World, it is ubiquitously recognised as one of the world’s greatest landmarks, and finest examples of Mughal architecture. Tonight, you will be able to witness a traditional Kalakriti cultural dance performance before spending the night at the Courtyard by Marriott Agra hotel.

Next on your exclusive tour, you will drive from Agra to Jaipur with a stop for lunch and a visit to Fatehpur Sikri where you can view spectacular red sandstone forts, palaces and mosques. Later, arrive in Jaipur.

Within the city, the main focus is the huge palace complex, home to the Maharaja, which includes the Hawa Mahal ‘Palace of the Winds’ façade, formal gardens, a fascinating museum of the Maharajas’ lavish possessions and Sawai Jai Singh’s Jantar Mantar observatory. Enjoy a two night stay at the Fairmont Hotel.

As the final day of your tour dawns, you will embark on a tour of Amber Fort. Amber was the capital of the Kachhawa Rajputs from 1037 until Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh founded Jaipur in 1727, but the majestic fort-palace was not begun until about 1600. The building was built by ‘Raja Shri Maan Singh JI Saheb’ in the 16th century and later added to by successive Rajput rulers; however, the architecture displays many Mughal influences in addition to the traditional Rajput designs and iconic Hindu elements. Whilst visiting this UNESCO World Heritage Site you will be

able to explore the intricate chambers and hallways, the maze of passages, quartet of beautiful courtyards and savour the wonderful views of the Jal Mahal water palace below. Arguably the highlight is the intricately stunning glass detailing of the Sheesh Mahal hall.

Succeeding your Cox & Kings tour, you will fly from Jaipur to Mumbai for an overnight hotel stay at the Oberoi Hotel, before embarking the ultra-luxurious Silver Shadow for your nine night all-inclusive voyage to Dubai.

Your first port of call is to the coastal city of Porbandar, birthplace of Mahatma Gandhi and Sudama. Following your stop here, you will cruise onwards to Muscat, Oman where you will enjoy an overnight stay.

Often known as the ‘walled city’, due to its forts and royal palaces, Muscat wows with its impressive architecture. From the harbour, you’ll be able to see the Sultan’s Palace, with its blue and gold pillars. The Grand Mosque is truly spectacular, even from the exterior and the Mutrah Souq is worth a visit for antique shops selling a mixture of Indian and Omani relics.

Next, you will trace the coast of Oman until you reach Fujairah for the day, and onwards to the capital of the UAE, Abu Dhabi. The discovery of oil transformed Abu Dhabi from a fishing village into a thriving modern metropolis that has not forgotten its past. Futuristic skyscrapers

and luxury hotels offer sharp contrast to museums, mosques, and bazaars – this unique capital is unlike any other destination in the world and it is one that will provide you with a pleasant assault to the senses.

Following a stop in Doha, you will arrive in your final port of call – Dubai – where you will disembark and transfer to the Oberoi Hotel for a two night stay, including breakfast. Here, explore one of the most exciting cities on Earth. The modern skyline, beautiful beaches and yearround sunshine make Dubai a glamorous destination. Why not visit the world’s tallest building, Burj Khalifa, take a dip in the azure-coloured waters on Jumeirah Beach or enjoy tax free shopping at one of the mega malls.

From India’s most historical destinations and culture unlike you’ve ever seen before, to sprawling, modern metropolis’ and once-in-a-lifetime experiences, this exclusive voyage from Reader Offers Ltd is simply unmissable. For where else can you delve into real India, whilst cruising in the lap of luxury?

Ferdinand Magellan as you cruise through the Strait of Magellan, flanked by the rugged mountains of Southern Chile. From here, you will arrive in Ushuaia before cruising Tierra del Fuego and Cape Horn, the southernmost tip of the southernmost continent - just 1,000 miles north of Antarctica. More scenic cruising awaits as you cruise the Beagle Channel, the Alberto de Agostini National Park Coastline, the English Narrows Passage and the Darwin & Moraleda Canal Passages.

After visiting Puerto Montt, where you can sample some of Chile’s best restaurants, you will come to arrive in Valparaiso, one of Latin America’s most modern metropolitan areas. Enjoy an overnight stay here exploring the area, before setting sail for Arica, famed for its surfing beaches and Callao, for Lima, in Peru.

Discover lands you’ve only read about on this unforgettable voyage with Cruise & Maritime Voyages…

Your no-fly, 70 night voyage departs on 6th January 2019 from Bristol. Your home-from-home, Marco Polo departs, bound for the warmer climate of Lisbon – but before you arrive, you will have time to explore on board with two days at sea. Offering a traditional maritime experience in cosy surroundings, you can discover a wide range of lounges and stylish leisure facilities. Visit the theatre-style Marco Polo Lounge, Scott’s Bar or Palm Garden for a drink or two to toast your departure, treat yourself to a relaxing spa day in the Jade Wellness Centre, or simply enjoy the swimming pool on deck, which includes a choice of three whirlpools.

Portugal is for explorers. Its valiant sailors first charted the Azores, discovered Japan and unlocked major sea routes the world over – as your ship sails into the harbour of Lisbon, you will share the anticipation these sailors experienced as they ventured into new and exciting lands for the first time.

Yellow trams wind their way through

narrow tree-lined streets in historic Lisbon, whilst Gothic cathedrals, majestic monasteries and museums are all part of the colourful cityscape. You’ll find the real wonders as you explore the backstreets – leafy plazas, quaint cafés and lively jazz music await; while the port celebrates the city’s maritime heritage.

Next, arrive in Guayaquil, the beating heart of Ecuador, where you will enjoy an overnight stay on board before cruising onwards to Manta. Manta, a city known for its tuna-fishing industry, is a vibrant, exotic place with plenty to keep you enamoured. With bars and restaurants clustered along the Malecón Escénico promenade and nearby streets, make sure that you sample deliciously fresh tuna.

Departing Lisbon, you will arrive in vibrant Funchal, capital of Madeira; Mindelo, a port city on the island of São Vicente and then Praia, the capital city of Cape Verde.

Following your departure from exciting Ecuador, you will be able to marvel at the once-in-a-lifetime experience of transiting the man-made Panama Canal. During the transit, you’ll experience an engineering marvel of dams, locks and lakes, but there’s also the natural splendour that accompanies your crossing – a lush, virgin rainforest on either side.

Following these intriguing destinations, you will arrive in the first of your Brazilian ports, Natal, before docking in Recife. Recife is a vibrant and lively city, with its mix of intriguing history and modern amenities. There’s something to suit all tastes, from the beaches at Boa Viagem to incredible architecture in the Recife Antigo district and bustling markets. While 6km north of Recife lies the old town of Olinda.

This picturesque spot is brimming with colonial buildings, galleries and is surrounded by tree-covered hills – well worth a visit.

Perhaps one of the main highlights on this unforgettable cruise, your next port of call features an overnight stay on board – and with so much to do and see, you’ll need it. Rio de Janeiro, the city of Carnival and Samba, Copacabana and Ipanema, more than fulfils its romantic promise.

Planted between lush, forest-covered mountains and breathtaking beaches, the Cidade Maravilhosa (Marvelous City) has many charms at her disposal.

Synonymous with ‘The Girl from Ipanema’, the dramatic view of Christ the Redeemer atop Corcovado Mountain and the famous carnival celebrations are enough to excite, but when you consider that Rio is also a city of stunning architecture, abundant museums and incredible cuisine, you really won’t want to leave.

Images, clockwise from top: Valparaiso, Chile; Penguins in Falkland Islands; Buenos Aires, Argentina.

this vibrant and energetic city, the next destination you come across will not disappoint. Buenos Aires, Argentina’s lively capital, is often referred to as ‘The Paris of South America’. In the oldest barrio - San Telmo, try the tango and the (equally spicy) chorizo sausage.

Visit an estancia (ranch) to see cowboy horsemanship at its best, then pay homage to Evita at Casa Rosada. Here, you will enjoy another overnight stay on board so that you can fully immerse yourself in the excitement that Buenos Aires holds.

Your third overnight beckons as you arrive in Uruguay’s capital, Montevideo. Rich in culture and history, you’ll find Montevideo a pleasure to explore. Mercado del Puerto, on the Ciudad Vieja waterfront, is the ideal place to eat, or take a stroll along The Rambla for an insight into

If you can pull yourself away from

the everyday lives of the local people who can be spotted biking, fishing and enjoying the great views.

From dynamic and vivacious cities, to wilderness retreats, your next two ports of call are home to an abundance of wildlife, stunning landscapes and quiet retreats. The Falkland Islands are some of the last great wilderness destinations where you can discovery a wide range of flora and fauna including penguins, albatrosses and petrels. In Stanley, visit war memorials, fascinating museums and marvel at shipwrecks in its famous harbour, whilst in West Point take your camera to the top of Cliff Mountain and look out for whales, fur seals, Sea Lions and dolphins!

Next, stop in Punta Arenas before cruising the Strait of Magellan. Follow in the footsteps of historic adventurer

Your next destination before arriving in Caribbean waters, is to Colombia’s Cartagena. Following this, you will witness the Caribbean charms of Kingstown, Bequia, Mayreau and Bridgetown. Once you’ve had your fill of Caribbean sun, return to your comfort home-from-home and cruise towards your final destination, Ponta Delgada. Beautiful mountainous islands form the Azores archipelago where volcanic activity has resulted in breathtaking scenery including volcanic crater lakes and thermal springs.

Discover the natural hot springs in Furnas, beautiful volcanic landscapes at the Lagoa do Fogo and breathtaking scenery of the blue seas at Sete Cidades.

Many worlds coexist in your next port of call – vibrant Panama City, before you tick an unforgettable experience off of your bucket list as you transit the Gatun Locks of Panama Canal and arrive in Acapulco.

Your first port of call is the eclectic capital of the Netherlands, Amsterdam, before you enjoy four uninterrupted days at sea. Spend time enjoying the wide range of on board facilities and stylish entertainment including the Dome Observatory, Nightclub and Palladium Show Lounge. Alternatively, you can relax at the Ocean Terrace with a cocktail from the Club Oasis Bar or a bite to eat from the Alfresco Grill, swim in a choice of two heated swimming pools, relax in the library with a good book or sample some culinary delights in a choice of restaurants.

French Polynesian pearls await as your next three destinations encompass captivating beauty and paradisiacal landscapes that you’ve only dreamed of – until now. Visit Nuku Hiva, where deep bays, dramatic waterfalls and timeless valleys are ready for exploring; Papeete, where you will enjoy an overnight stay to witness brilliant blue lagoons, black and white beaches, proud volcanoes and coconut groves and Bora Bora, which is universally revered as the quintessential holiday destination for hopeless romantics.

Next, cross the International Date Line and arrive in your first maiden port, Nuku’alofa. At first glance, Tonga’s capital might not seem like much – but you should look below the surface to the broad waterfront, exceptional views and the bustling market where local delicacies can be sampled!

Following your sea days, arrive in the cosmopolitan capital of São Miguel, Ponta Delgada. Here, discover the natural hot springs in Furnas, beautiful volcanic landscapes at the Lagoa do Fogo and breathtaking scenery of the blue seas at Sete Cidades.

Four consecutive maiden ports feature next on your itinerary – Rabaul, Tokyo, Kagoshima and Beijing. All of these astounding destinations have their own highlights to offer, but of particular interest is Japan’s sprawling capital, Tokyo. If you are not dazzled by the neon lights of modern shopping centres, then you will find solace and peace in a number of gardens. Rich in history, Tokyo is a modern city built on old patterns and ancient Japan is still apparent in the local handicrafts, lantern-lit yakitori (grilled chicken) stands and historic temples.

Cochin and Mumbai are next on your world cruise itinerary where Indian influences are aplenty. You will then arrive in Salalah, which will give you a taste of Zanzibar in the heart of Arabian desert land with its colourful history and rich cultural heritage. From here, visit Luxor and Petra before transiting the Suez Canal and marvel at this magnificent man-made spectacle – an engineering feat on a truly impressive scale.

Your final ports of call include Jerusalem, Valletta, Gibraltar and finally, Lisbon where you can stroll along elaborate mosaic sidewalks and pass by the Monument to the Discoveries. As you spend a final two days relaxing at sea before arriving in London Tilbury, be sure to reflect on the unforgettable sights, sounds and smells that you have encountered on your exclusive world voyage. I’m sure you’ll agree that T.S Eliot was wrong – is it both the journey and the destination that matter, don’t you think?

Sydney, capital of New South Wales and one of Australia’s largest cities, is your next port of call and what a destination to arrive in! Why not visit the iconic Sydney Opera House for a behind-thescenes tour, scale Sydney Tower to survey the city from on high, or people watch at legendary Bondi Beach. Following Sydney, you will arrive at Hamilton Island and Yorkey’s Knob – where there are plenty of tours to visit Australia’s great natural wonder, the Great Barrier Reef.

From one Asian powerhouse to another, you will soon arrive in Singapore where you can explore the medley of Chinese, Indian and Malay influences at your leisure before cruising onwards to Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Langkawi.

Thousands of limestone karsts and islets are sprinkled across Ha Long Bay. As you arrive here, choose to spend a relaxing day out on a sailing junk, and stop to visit one of the caves adorned in stalagmites and stalactites. Or journey to the capital city of Hanoi, with its French colonial architecture and the lively, fascinating old quarter of 36 streets.

British author T.S. Eliot once noted that it is ‘the journey, not the destination, that matters’ – however, our friend Mr Eliot clearly had not experienced the world of cruising. Affording both the luxury of an unforgettable journey and remarkable destinations to boot, cruising is the ultimate means of world travel, and enables you to be part of a journey across the seas to the far corner of our globe.

The exclusive buy one get one free offer below showcases a sensational 120 night world cruise promotion from Cruise & Maritime Voyages on board the newest addition to their fleet and flagship, Columbus.

More east Asian delights await as the next destination on your itinerary offers culture, history and beauty in abundance. Shanghai is China’s economic powerhouse and is one of Asia’s most exciting cities. Be sure to visit the beautiful 400-year-old Yu Garden, the famous Jade Buddah Temple and the colonial Bund along the Huangpu River. Then, you will arrive in Hong Kong – a truly unforgettable destination offering a unique perspective of a modern metropolis mixed with traditional Chinese culture dating back 5,000 years. Be sure to take your camera along for your adventures in Asia as you won’t want to miss a thing!
