Winter Escape Cruises
Beautiful scenery, incredible experiences and winter sun on a voyage for all your senses.
SEARCH OUT THE SUN ON A WINTER ESCAPE CRUISE
Leave the winter blues behind as you sail away to uncover warmth, culture and charm. Escape the unpredictable British weather in favour of sunny climes, sandy beaches and azure seas. We know how hard the winter months can be when dark days, wind and rain become the norm, so why not give yourself some respite and enjoy a winter holiday with a difference? Our selection of itineraries will take you to winter cruise destinations with a difference, where tropical paradises and sun-soaked ports are the order of the day.
Our winter cruise deals can take you to a wealth of destinations. Travel to the southern tips of Europe, where tropical islands blend the African sun with mainland charm. First, the island of Madeira offers Portuguese charm and warm sun year-round. Then, hop down to the Canary Islands to discover an incredible volcanic archipelago where each island has its own spirit. Stop off in North Africa, including Casablanca in Morocco, where you’ll discover imposing mosques and lively street bazaars.
Or, why not travel further afield on a Caribbean cruise? Lose yourself amongst palm-fringed beaches, dramatic volcanoes and tropical rainforests. From the stunning islands of the West Indies, with their rich culture, mouthwatering meals and delicious cocktails, to vintage Cuba with classic cars injecting colour onto the streets of Havana, there is plenty to fall in love with here.
Wherever you voyage, we’re confident the glow will last all the way until summer.
