Lured by iconic cities and beautiful beaches, an increasing numbers of travellers are choosing a cruise for their holiday – and you can still bag a bargain for this year and beyond.

Passengers are spoilt for choice, with several new ships now on the water . Royal Caribbean’s latest Star of the Seas and Virgin Voyages’ Brilliant Lady hit the water in August 2025, while Princess Cruises Star Princess launched last October.

There will be a range of new cruise ships sailing away for the first time in the coming months such as Legend of the Seas and MSC World Asia.

Guests can choose from convenient UK departures with brands such as Celebrity Cruises , Princess , P&O Cruises and Disney Cruise Line.…
