Cruise & Stay holidays

Sometimes our escorted cruise holidays embark or disembark from a city that has always been on your travel wish-list. It would be a shame not to make the most of that opportunity, so why not spend a few special days there on one of our irresistible Cruise and Stay packages?

Our escorted cruise and stay options give you the opportunity to extend your visit and spend more time in the city your cruise ends at or departs from. Talk to the booking team about our range of hotel and apartment pre and post stays, and see the sights before you sail away, or relax and soak up the ambiance on your return.

Our escorted cruise holidays visit many of the world’s must-see cities. Enjoy the romance and culture of Venice and Rome, or book a hotel in the bright lights and excitement of the “Big Apple.” Other cities included in our cruise and stay holidays include such diverse destinations as Istanbul, with its many minarets, and the glitz and glamour of Miami. We have the flexibility to offer a wide range of cruise and stay holiday options, so why not take a look and book your perfect combination today?
