Whether you're a cruising novice or a veteran on the water, we have your back. So, get your sea legs on and prepare to embark on a journey through 2025's most captivating cruise destinations.
Island hopping ahoy!
Beat the summer tourist throngs and bask in the charm of classic Mediterranean cities like Lisbon, Bordeaux and Barcelona - all top 2025 cruise destinations. Spring, from March to May, offers the perfect weather for soaking up their cultural and historical treasures, with just the right amount of cool air to keep you comfortable.
It’s also a lovely time of year for an island-hopping cruise. The Azores - an archipelago of nine islands, west of Lisbon - boasts dramatic landscapes, fishing villages and is one of only six Whale Heritage Sites worldwide.
While hydrangeas weren't born in the Azores, a colourful wave of them washed ashore in the 17th century. Today, they paint the islands with their beauty, especially Faial, proudly nicknamed "The Blue Island" for its ocean-mirroring blooms.
A wonderful time to head north
Embark on a northern hemisphere summer cruise and witness the majestic midnight sun, a celestial spectacle where the sun refuses to set, painting the landscape in an ethereal glow. You can experience this natural wonder between mid-April and late August, but for the most dazzling display, set sail around the summer solstice, June 21.
Ditch the passports and embrace the charm of a staycation cruise.
Summer is the peak season for exploring our own backyard, from the wild Cornish coast and sun-drenched Isles of Scilly to the majestic beauty of Edinburgh. Choose your perfect UK adventure, and who knows, you might even snag a touch of that elusive British sunshine as a bonus!
