One of the best features of an Ocean Cruise is that we’re able to explore more exciting destinations on our holiday, without the stress of having to navigate from one city to the next. Each of our cruises include several ports of call and you can choose from tours that visit world-renowned cities like Istanbul, Athens, St. Petersburg and Stockholm. Once we arrive in the day’s port of call, we’ll enjoy ample time to experience the city either as part of a guided excursion or at your own pace.
On all of our holidays, we make sure to offer plenty of guided tours and trips to get the most out of our time away. Our Ocean Cruises are no different and offer multiple included or optional shore excursions throughout the journey. We’ll have the opportunity to walk in the footsteps of King Minos in Crete, explore the white-washed, blue-domed houses of Santorini, and hear the history of Ancient Rome in Ephesus, Turkey. On each excursion, we’ll be accompanied by a local, expert guide to show us the way.
For some people, their favourite part of a cruise is taking full advantage of the onboard amenities. All of our Ocean Cruise holidays include accommodation on first-rate ships like the Norwegian Escape or Celestyal Crystal, so we’ll have a great time both ashore and on the water. Lounge in the pool, try your luck in the Casino, or meet new friends in the onboard bar. On our Croatian cruise, we’ll sail on a beautiful boutique cruise ship, making for a more personalised and intimate atmosphere. No matter what you choose to do, each ship will allow us to travel in comfort as we make our way through some of the most incredible destinations in the world.
One of the best ways to learn about a new culture while travelling is to sample their local delicacies. Whether it’s blood sausage in Estonia or stuffed grape leaves in Greece, every country or region has something new to discover. When travelling with us, each of our Ocean Cruise holidays offer full board and an exciting selection of both authentic regional cuisine and international dishes. Drinks are also included on most cruise holidays so we can sip cocktails while enjoying a Mediterranean sunset or warm up with a hot beverage in the Baltics.
On our Ocean Cruises, the array of specially organised onboard entertainment ensures our time on the ship is just as exciting as our time off of it! When travelling through the Baltic Sea, we’ll participate in onboard cooking demonstrations and enjoy Broadway theatre shows. On our cruises through the Mediterranean, we’ll practice deckside yoga and brush up on our Greek with language lessons. Whether it be traditional dancing or origami lessons, each cruise offers something unforgettable for us to enjoy.
