New to cruising?

If you’re considering a cruise holiday, then you’re in good company. Over 1.2 million people booked a cruise in the UK last year and that figure is set to rise.

A cruising holiday is simply like no other, combining the fascination of lazy days at sea, great food and entertainment, making new friendships, ever-changing vistas and visiting new places. It gives a unique sense of exploration and discovery experienced in the civilised comforts of today. Where else can you find a holiday where you will visit lots of different places and your hotel moves with you. No packing, no hassle, no worries.

Enjoy the on board facilities like the pool, whirlpools, spa and fitness centre, and activities, deck games and lectures. However, you may prefer to just relax, read or do absolutely nothing at all. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all included together with afternoon teas and late night snacks. And at night, enjoy a production show, relax to music in one of the lounges or dance the night away.

The range of cruises offered is wide - from sunshine in the Caribbean to sightseeing in the historic Baltic or scenic Norwegian Fjords. Try expedition-style cruising in remoter parts of the world like Antarctica with its snow covered landscapes and amazing wildlife. Whatever cruise you select there will be a wide choice of shore excursions designed to show you the highlights of each of the ports of call and make the most of your time ashore.

Finally cruising is a great value holiday. At first the price may seem a little high, but remember your cruise fare includes your accommodation, food, activities, entertainment and in the case of Transocean Tours, crew gratuities – so there’s no need to worry about tipping!
