When you travel with Azamara Club Cruises®, they give you more.

More time in destinations, to explore beyond the tourist traps. More experiences, with their carefully crafted shore excursions that immerse you into local life. More inclusions, so you can make the most of your time onboard without worrying about hidden extras.

Azamara know that the memories that stay with you are often not the big experiences, but the small moments. Tasting freshly shucked oysters overlooking the rugged Tasmanian coastline. Sharing stories and conversation with a local Italian family over a home-cooked Tuscan meal. Or hearing the otherworldly creak of ice as you walk atop one of Alaska’s majestic glaciers.

These experiences cannot be told – they have to be seen, tasted, and touched.

Experience all of this and so much more; for less. Book select voyages by 31st October and save up to £1000.

Star Clippers offer a cruise experience that is like no other. Discover an adventure on the waves which includes the atmosphere and character of traditional sailing but still with the comfort and luxury found on most modern cruises.

Feel the wind in your hair and the salty breeze in your face as you sail aboard what feels like your own private yacht. Your vessel provides a much more intimate experience than you may expect to find on board a contemporary cruise liner, and whilst the surroundings you find yourself in hark back to the ships of the nineteenth century, the superb, personable service will be on hand to make you feel right at home, wherever you are in the world.

It’s clear to see that a Star Clippers ship is a cruise ship like no other.

On a Star Clippers cruise you are not restricted to enforced schedules, nor are you expected to follow anyone’s lead but your own.

Your days, evenings and nights are yours to spend however you wish and nobody will tell you otherwise.

There’s nothing so easy and pleasurable as falling asleep to the gentle rhythms of the ship and sea – unless it’s awakening refreshed the next morning to a new-born day. The many staterooms on board offer everything you need and would expect from any luxury retreat.

Get to know your fellow shipmates, who are likely to share the same passion for sailing as you do, whilst music from tropical lands fills your eardrums courtesy of the live band playing in the background. In the Tropical Bar, a delicious cocktail is being prepared for an awaiting guest as they imagine tasting its cooling properties whilst the barman shakes together the contents.

Other guests sit in the library, engrossed in their new favourite book, whilst many more are laughing and joking at the pool side. Could there be anything more relaxing than this?

If the paradisiacal beaches, beautiful weather and unspoilt nature of South-East Asia are calling, then look no further than Star Clippers’ Thailand cruises. As you wander along white sands, you’ll have time to admire the breathtaking natural landscapes before unwinding with a drink in hand. Plus, keen divers will have the chance to explore beneath the waves as well as on land.

We’ve taken a look at just a few of Star Clippers’ incredible Thailand cruises aboard Tall Ship Star Clipper, and added precruise stays in iconic cities... we hope you agree that they really are unforgettable holidays!

LOOK FORWARD TO WINTER

Taking a cruise during the winter months is an excellent way to escape the festive hustle and the freezing temperatures of the UK. Fortunately, Norwegian Cruise Line has a variety of holidays to choose from, including award-winning Caribbean Cruise packages, leaving from various ports such as Miami, San Juan, Port Canaveral, and New York.

Doesn’t a ten- or eleven-night trip around the Canary Islands sound more appealing than staying home? Soak up the winter sun as you tour the southeastern coast of Spain and check out the sights in Morocco.

Whether it involves snorkeling, touring historical districts, sipping drinks, or simply lounging poolside Norwegian Cruise Line is sure to have a sailing that ticks all the right boxes.

THE WORLD’S BEST OCEAN CRUISE LINE† Stylish, sophisticated and enlightening, a Viking cruise is like no other. It’s a journey that is full of surprises, and it starts the moment you step on board.

Every Viking ocean ship is large enough to offer all the facilities you could wish for, yet intimate enough to wrap you in comfort. Its smaller size enables you to sail into destinations inaccessible to other vessels and once there you can enjoy more time to explore, and more overnights too. You can also enjoy a complimentary excursion in almost every port, as well as a choice of optional excursions, offering something for everyone.

Fabulous dining is a highlight of your cruise, with a choice of superb restaurants, all of which are included. Indeed, value is something you can take for granted on a Viking cruise. All those pleasures that are an essential part of your cruise experience – a great cup of coffee, a beer with lunch, wine with dinner, a visit to the spa, logging on to check your emails, and room service – are all free. A cruise should be about the finer things, and with Viking they’re all included. Which is also why every stateroom has its own private veranda. Whichever room you choose, you can relax outside and take in the views.

Viking’s service doesn’t just come with a smile, it comes with award-winning credentials. At the end of the day – and the beginning too, it’s all about you. And that’s why Viking’s guests choose to travel with them, time and again. There is another thing that distinguishes them from other cruise lines; there are no children on board.

Come and discover the Viking difference for yourself.

Serene Scandinavian Spaces After a day of exploration or a relaxing day at sea, indulge in The Spa, a soothing sanctuary of Nordic wellness. Whether you unwind in the Sauna, refresh in the Snow Grotto or work out in the Fitness Centre, you will feel recharged and revitalised.

The revolutionary Aquavit Terrace is a magical space where your destination is your dining room. Located outside the World Café, it provides more al fresco dining experiences than on any ship at sea.

Under a canopy of Scandinavian trellised wood in the serene Wintergarden, indulge in afternoon tea service, complete with freshly made finger sandwiches, richly textured scones and delightful desserts.

Destination-focused Dining

Choose from multiple dining options, all with no additional charge.

From sophisticated regional dishes and chef’s selections with wine pairings to rustic Italian cuisine and global fare, the venues offer the finest cuisine at sea.

We’ve been onboard!

Lewis, from our Marketing team, went onboard River Countess, with his wife, in August 2018 and fell in love with Italy!

After a chauffeur-driven trip from the airport, smooth check-in and short introduction to the ship, our first impressions were that we were in for a very pleasant trip!

We were docked about 2km from Piazza San Marco – it’s about a 25-minute walk, but it’s also a great chance to explore via the small streets and canals.

We had to try the local pizza, gelato and of course a beer or two. It was amazing sitting beside the canal watching the water taxis go about their daily business and the huge cruise ships sailing by, that dwarf the surrounding buildings!

Back on the ship it was time for our evening meal. It’s so relaxed and informal, all Uniworld ask is that you don’t wear sports clothing or shorts in the dining room. Smart jeans and polo shirts are more than acceptable.

Uniworld’s farm-to-table dining really is something you must try.

INCLUSIVE

LUXURIOUS

There were options on the menu for every palate!

The evenings were spent in the Castillo Lounge with a musician on the keyboard and the cocktails flowing. Lazlo, the bartender, offers Espresso Martinis as his signature cocktail, not usually my cup of tea but these were amazing!!

One morning we got up early to enjoy a short sailing along the canal to a docking point closer to Piazza San Marco! We enjoyed the sunrise on deck with a coffee. A wonderful experience which I highly recommend you do.

The tours included whilst we were on board were effortlessly run by a team of local guides. We weren’t in huge groups either, we split up in to small groups of no more than 15-20 passengers. Our guide really brought the stories and history of Venice to life.

To summarise this trip and Uniworld in general, I would say this is a river cruise like no other, at times you feel like you’re out at sea as the lagoon is so vast, but you’re on a river ship - there’s hardly any movement and you’re always close to the shore. The design of the ship is like a boutique Italian hotel. All that combined with the outstanding service and you’ve got a very impressive holiday indeed!
