MOST of us are more than ready for a holiday, so why not start planning future travels and look forward to all the fun discoverie­s that lie ahead.

Wherever your dreams take you, Norwegian Cruise Line can make them a reality with an award-winning cruise where you can really break free.

Now is the time to firm up your next adventure as there’s 30 per cent off every sailing, every ship, every stateroom and even every suite on cruises through to 2023, when you book by this Wednesday, March 31.

And that’s not all. Upgrade for £99pp* and enjoy Open Bar, Speciality Dining Package, Shore Excursion Credit, a Wi-Fi Package and extra guests pay taxes only^.

It’s a great chance to go idyllic Greek island-hopping, explore the best of the Med or uncover the treasures of the Baltic Sea ports with an overnight stay in magnificen­t St Petersburg – sailing on stunning NCL ships recently upgraded to provide an enhanced experience.

You could even set your sights on distant horizons, perhaps cruising around South Africa, Antarctica, Bali or Australia and other far corners of the globe, making memories to last a lifetime.

And thanks to NCL’s Sail Safe protocols on board, you can book with confidence, knowing that you’re free to cancel up to 15 days before departure for cruises until October 31, 2021, when you book by April 30.

PHOTOGENIC SANTORINI

LET out an ‘Opa!’ alongside locals at a lively Greek celebratio­n with food, wine, dancing and laughter, on a seven-day Greek Isles sailing from Athens (Piraeus). You’ll see where the Colossus of Rhodes once stood, spot the blue-domed churches of Mykonos, and be enamoured of the famously photogenic whitewashe­d villages clinging to Santorini’s cliffs, giving idyllic views of the azure Aegean.

TROPICAL PARADISE

SWIM with schools of tropical fish in the turquoise waters of the Dominican Republic, or spot manatees in a lagoon sanctuary, while cruising in the Caribbean from Miami on fabulous Norwegian Encore. You’ll also stop at Great Stirrup Cay – NCL’s private tropical paradise that’s just for you, where you might spend your day kayaking, snorkellin­g and relaxing in your beachfront cabana.

Be on deck for the sail-in to the port of Charlotte Amalie in St Thomas – the breathtaki­ng harbour was once a pirate haven. Enjoy duty-free shopping before returning to a très magnifique French gourmet meal in Le Bistro, one of many restaurant­s on board.

ENCHANTING ASIA

WITH sprawling gardens boasting hundreds of cherry trees, mighty Osaka Castle is a must-see during an overnight stay as part of a nine-day round trip from Tokyo to Osaka, Busan in South Korea and the Japanese islands of Beppu and Shimizu.

After departing on March 30, 2022, explore Nagasaki’s museums and memorials, and be enchanted by Busan, with its hot springs, beaches, vibrant art districts and historic temples.

Back aboard, numerous foodie delights range from juicy steaks and succulent lobster to Tokyo-standard sushi. Match this with award-winning Broadway shows (think Footloose, Kinky Boots or Six), aqua parks, junior programmes and much more. A cruise with NCL will exceed your wildest expectatio­ns. But book by March 31 to benefit from 30 per cent off in the March Mega Sale. You’d be mad to miss it!
