Half-term cruise holidays

February

If ever there was a half-term holiday you needed to get away it’s the one in February. Shake up the season with a winter sun escape to the Caribbean or recharge your batteries on a Short Break closer to home. And don’t forget... during school holidays, children can pick up new skills at our Academy workshops or play football or tennis with friends at the ship’s sports court.

Easter

From the sun-soaked Mediterranean to the dramatic scenery of Norway, sail away for an epic Easter cruise with the family. At our on-board children’s club, The Reef, your little ones will have the chance to enjoy an egg-citing array of Easter-themed activities. And with your stunning on-board theatre entertainment hosting early evening family-friendly shows throughout your holiday, it’ll be an Easter to remember.

May

Looking to get away for the May half-term? Your family could be uncovering treasures in the sun-soaked Mediterranean or enjoying an epic Norwegian Fjords holiday together. And because we work with local experts to bring you unique and unmissable experiences, you’ll have no trouble finding your perfect family adventure at every destination.

October

The October half-term is the perfect time for you and your family to get away. You can leave those cold autumn days behind by flying out to the Caribbean or the Canaries, or sail away for a Northern European City Escape. And with a wide range of on-board activities and shore experiences that will appeal to youngsters, from toddlers to teens, the whole clan will be entertained from sunrise to sunset.
