Cruising nowadays can be as luxurious or as relaxed as you like, but one thing's for sure, there's never a dull moment. On board, there are gyms for those who like to keep in trim, spas for a spot of well-earned pampering and sports opportunities galore for the active. Or, if you want to do nothing more than lounge on deck all day, that's fine - this is your cruise to enjoy exactly the way you want. Each port of call offers plenty of opportunity for adventure and discovery. Step onto terra firma and immerse yourself in your exotic and intriguing surrounds, with a whole day to explore. Perhaps you'll just enjoy some beach life, head to a theme park with the kids or visit a museum for some local heritage. And, of course, if you want to visit a country to the full, you can do so before or after your cruise, staying for as long as you like, to fully experience all that it has to offer.

Freedom to chooseFreedom to choose

We've got together with many of the world's leading cruise operators to bring you the ultimate choice. Each ship offers something completely different with a huge range of fabulous facilities and exciting itineraries, both on land and sea. Opt for the elegance of Cunard's magnificent flagship, the Queen Mary 2 or the magic of Disney on board one of their fun-packed luxury liners. Those looking for a more relaxed atmosphere will appreciate a Carnival Cruise or a Holland America Line Cruise. They are perfect for discerning trevellers who like to see the world - from the comfort of an elegant, mid-size hotel at sea. Royal Caribbean boasts some of the most innovative cruise ships in the world and Norwegian Cruise Lines specialise in 'freestyle cruising' with no set meal times or dress codes. Why not take a cruise with Costa to some fantastic destinations, from the cosmopolitan city of Hong Kong to the relaxing and beautiful islands of the Indian Ocean. Whether you're a couple looking for a romantic escape or a family with children of various ages, we've got something for you.

You're free to choose where to stay and where to cruise. Perhaps it's the Caribbean that appeals - exploring ancient ruins and coral reefs in Mexico, basking on a private stretch of sandy beach and strolling around sophisticated island capitals such as St Thomas, St Maarten and Nassau. Hawaii is also a firm favourite and deservedly so with the islands of Honolulu, Big Island, Maui and Kauai boasting some of the world's finest and most dramatic scenery. Alternatively, depart the shores of Canada for the Gulf of Alaska for national parks, glaciers, fjords and wildlife, after spending an amazing 7 days touring the Rockies by rail.
