NEW HORIZONS

Sail away on your next adventure and let the sights come to you

-

Debating where to go for your next holiday? It’s time to cast off and take to the high seas. A cruise is a great way to help you get more out of your usual break, whether it’s discoverin­g a different side of your favourite city, or a chance to visit a new dream destinatio­n. Whatever type of holiday you enjoy, there’s a cruise out there for you.

IF YOU ENJOY DISCOVERIN­G DIFFERENT CULTURES

Japan is a heady mix of tradition and modernity, where neon skyscraper­s overlook tranquil temples. Let the experts at Travelbag plan your trip to this unique country, starting with the sushi bars and Shinto shrines of Tokyo, then sailing south on the Celebrity Millennium to visit the cloud-capped Mount Fuji volcano, the geishas of Kyoto and the moving Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park on a two-week Best of Japan cruise.

IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE NORTHERN LIGHTS

Light pollution is the enemy of the Aurora Borealis, so go offshore for the best chance of seeing them dance across the night sky. Explore the Norwegian fjords, with their dramatic glaciers and pretty villages, before crossing into the Arctic Circle, where you can try husky-sledding, snowshoein­g or snowmobili­ng.

IF YOU FANCY RELAXING ON THE BEACH

Test the best of the Caribbean’s sands by cruising from island to island. Travelbag’s experts have the local knowledge to guarantee the right mix of rum, rhythm and relaxation. Be among the first to sail a Dominican Daze itinerary on Virgin Voyages’ new ship Scarlet Lady, which will take you from the jungles and waterfalls of the Dominican Republic to a private beach club in the Bahamas.

IF YOU LOVE A CITY BREAK

One way to beat the end-of-holiday blues is to take the scenic route home. So why not fly out for a city break to see the sights of New York, then sail back in style? Transatlan­tic liner the Queen Mary 2 has onboard spa treatments, cabaret shows and the finest of dining, rather like a floating version of the Big Apple itself.
