Choose a cruise for less!

Fantastic savings on next winter’s sunshine itinerarie­s

-

WINTER dragging on? There’s nothing like a fabulous cruise to sunnier climes to make the next shivery season fly by faster.

Jump on board ship with a winter 2019 cruise deal, and you can look forward to escaping into a world of zingy colours and warmth, incredibly, from less than £70 pp per day!

It would be easy to spend that or more here on a good meal out for two.

Reposition­ing cruises and special offers sold during the current ‘wave season’, between January and March, can provide remarkable value, especially when you think about what’s included.

These deals include return flights, a stateroom, all the delicious food you can eat in buffets and waiter-service restaurant­s, amazing entertainm­ent — and the chance to experience bucket-list destinatio­ns.

The early bird catches the worm and it’s no different with cruise deals, which really can have limited availabili­ty. As the ships fill up, fares rise. So now’s the time to plan an amazing cruise that could actually save you hard-earned pennies over entertaini­ng yourself at home.

Cruise1st has a range of tempting offers starting below £70pp per day, often with a low deposit. So a twoweek sunshine cruise next winter can cost less than £900pp. When cruising provides this kind of value, it’s hard to find an excuse to say no.

INSTEAD of muffling up to watch fireworks, how does sailing off on a Royal Caribbean cruise to Florida sound? Guests will see the famous twin peaks of Les Pitons in lush St Lucia, along with banana plantation­s, eye-catching waterfalls and the world’s only drive-through volcano.

Barbados is a Caribbean Little England — but with emerald seas and warm breezes! Dominica is a natural, untouched paradise, while Antigua has a beach for every day of the year.

Explorer of the Seas departs on this 14-night reposition­ing itinerary from Southampto­n to Miami on November 5, 2019, full board (from £899pp).

APRIL can be a changeable month at home — but you’ll be far more certain of warm sunshine when sailing to Spain and Portugal, with P&O Cruises.

Step aboard Azura in Southampto­n and straight into that two-week holiday feeling. Before you know it, you’ll be arriving in La Coruna, in easy reach of the famous pilgrimage city of Santiago de Compostela.

Cadiz, the Rock of Gibraltar, the amazing art and architectu­re of Valencia, the delicious seafood tapas of Cartagena and Lisbon’s lavish palaces and monasterie­s all lie ahead. This cruise departs on April 3, 2020 (from £879pp).

LOOKING for an exotic Far East adventure? Places of stunning beauty, including dreamy white-sand beaches, await on a 16-night Costa Cruises cruise to Thailand and Cambodia, with a twonight Singapore stay.

Overnights in Phuket, Sihanoukvi­lle and Laem Chabang for Bangkok, give time to explore. And it also calls at stunning Langkawi, Port Klang for Kuala Lumpur, the Vietnamese island of Phu Quoc and Koh Samui in Thailand.

Fly on February 29, 2020, to join Costa Fortuna in Singapore. This cruise costs from just £1,399pp, saving £560pp, when booked through Cruise1st.
