In this guide, we explain the difference between our flexible Tailor Made packages and our exclusive Bucket List adventures, and explore the most popular destinations for your next hybrid holiday.

Why Choose A Cruise & Stay Holiday?

Cruise & Stay holidays are the ultimate combination for travellers who have a passion for both globe-trotting and ocean sailing.

You get to experience the thrill of exploring multiple destinations in one trip with double the adventure - from the comfort of a cruise ship to the charm of hotel stays onshore.

• Seamless Planning: Wave goodbye to stress. With hassle-free travel arrangements, including transfers, excursions, and accommodation all coordinated for you, you can say hello to total convenience.

• For Every Generation: Whether you’re searching for family-friendly fun in Orlando or an adults-only cultural escape in Asia, there is a package to suit every age group.

• Deep Immersion: Indulge in endless exploration with extended stays. This allows you to fully immerse yourself in local culture, cuisine, and nightlife at your own pace, rather than rushing back to the ship before the gangway rises.

What Is A 'Tailor Made' Cruise & Stay Holiday?

Our Tailor Made cruise & stay packages are so much more than a standard holiday. They are designed for flexibility and value.

Every Tailor Made adventure includes handpicked hotels, overseas transfers, return flights, a cruise, and the services of a specialist cruise consultant who will be there every step of the way.

Additionally, many of our Tailor Made packages include escorted tours of iconic sights. Imagine standing at the foot of the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio or walking the Great Wall of China - we bundle these unforgettable experiences into one seamless package.

Perfect for families, couples, and any traveller looking for excellent value for money, our Tailor Made holidays tick all the boxes.

Explore the vibrant heartbeat of New York, delight in the sun-kissed shores of the Caribbean, or surrender to the allure of Barcelona - the choice is yours.

What Is A 'Bucket List' Cruise & Stay Holiday?

If you are searching for the trip of a lifetime, look no further than our Bucket List collection.

These trips have been carefully curated to offer exclusive experiences in the world’s most iconic and sought-after destinations - with no expense spared. Every single detail is meticulously planned to provide you with your dream holiday.

Similar to our Tailor Made packages, these include your cruise, flights, transfers, and hotels. However, with a Bucket List trip, you can expect:

• Premium Cruise Ships: Sailing on the world's most prestigious lines.

• Superior Accommodation: Stays in high-end, luxury hotels.

• Exclusive Tours: Unique, handpicked escorted tours that offer deep cultural immersion.

From the rhythms of the Deep South to the beautiful blossoms of Japan, these journeys are designed to fulfil your wildest travel desires.
