It’s a place of extremes, where the wildlife and landscape paint a picture like nowhere else in the world. Amid the Antarctic’s barren beauty, you may well encounter orcas, humpback whales, seals and penguins. Or you can explore the ice-filled waters by Zodiac and set foot on the rock and ice that makes up this mysterious continent. And as the day winds down, spend your evenings enjoying Peregrine’s state-of-the-art ship, the Ocean Endeavour, with its health and wellness facilities, as well as a lecture series presented by an expert expedition team. You’ll be talking about this journey for years to come.

For a limited time only, secure your place on the journey of a lifetime with savings of up to 25% on Peregrine’s 2021/22 Antarctic voyages!*+ See details on page 11.

Dining at its best

Most luxury cruise ships offer spacious staterooms and suites with first-class amenities and elegant décor. The style and size of accommodation varies from each ship and can range from staterooms to suites with in-room spas. On a luxury cruise ship your suite has been designed to be your home away from home.

Premium Accomodation

The moment you step aboard a luxury cruise ship, you’ll immediately notice the warm and welcoming atmosphere. First class, personalised service is a hallmark of every luxury cruise line. With high crew-to-passenger ratios, you can be assured you’ll receive an exceptional level of service.

Expect to have a crew member on hand to take care of booking your shore excursions, dining arrangements and onboard activities. Some cruise lines also include a butler service when booking a particular suite. On a Silversea cruise you'll have a dedicated butler to take care of every need.

Personalised Service

Spend your day sipping champagne or drinking cocktails by the pool or enjoy an immersive on-shore excursion.

Many luxury cruise lines offer all-inclusive sailing packages, allowing you to relax, indulge and explore without a care in the world. With so many luxury ships on offer, now is the time to hit the high seas in style!

From iconic cities to exotic shores, there is a luxury cruise that can take you there. Spend your days cruising in and out of glamourous destinations such as Rome, Monte Carlo and Santorini. Itineraries also feature destinations that are off the beaten track, with longer port stays allowing more time to immerse yourself in the local culture. Wander through an outdoor market, tour a centuries-old cathedral or take in the beautiful coastline of Dubrovnik. Some cruise lines also offer evening shore excursions. Azamara® offer exclusive ‘AzAmazing Evenings’ events that introduce you to the arts, culture and history of the destination.
