Long duration cruise holidays

With so many amazing destinations to explore and so much to enjoy on board our ships, sometimes our guests need a little – or a lot – more time to experience everything on their wish list. That’s why we offer a variety of longer holidays that extend from a few weeks to a few months away, so you can really unwind and get under the skin of whichever region you want to discover.

Our Classic Southern Hemisphere Journeys, ranging from 40 to 59 nights, are perfect if you want to go Down Under to Australasia, while a Grand Tour gives you the chance to see various regions in the Americas and the Caribbean during 65 nights away. Fancy heading to the USA and Canada? You can visit iconic cities, punctuated with calls at sleepy seaside towns and tranquil national parks, when you cruise to the east coast of North America for a holiday of 24 – 40 nights. 

Prefer to stay a little closer to home? How about a long and leisurely sailing of up to 27 nights around the Mediterranean, where you can make the most of stunning cities and golden beaches? Or for an adventure with Mother Nature, you could cruise north to the remote and breathtaking wilds of Norway and Iceland for up to 21 nights.

With a long cruise holiday, you can explore the part of the globe that excites you the most, or even discover it all on a 99-night World Cruise.

You’ve always dreamed of doing, seeing, hearing or tasting it; that iconic experience which you’ve longed promised yourself you’ll get round to “one day”.  

Maybe you picture yourself gazing up at New York’s Statue of Liberty or the Burj Khalifa, in Dubai? You might want to take an evening cruise on Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour and be dazzled by the neon skyline, or climb to the top of the world-famous Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Can’t decide what you want to do most? No problem, because the amazing thing about a long cruise is that you can tick off several of your bucket list experiences in one holiday and discover so much more in between. So, stop dreaming and let’s make it happen.

Longer cruise holidays often include more sea days as you sail between far-flung destinations, and the great news is this gives you more opportunities to unwind and enjoy all your ship has to offer.

Those sea days will fly by as there are so many different things to do. If you’d like to learn about something new, you might take part in a photography seminar or listen to an art talk. You could get active at a dance or fitness classes, join in a yoga session, work out in the gym, or hit the treadmill (or running track if your ship has one) to jog a few miles while gazing out at endless sea views.

If that sounds a little strenuous, you might prefer to spoil yourself with a spa treatment or simply laze by the pool and catch some rays with a cocktail in hand. Or, if you’re keen to get to the end of that new bestseller, you could find a cosy corner and a comfy chair to settle into. And don’t forget, there’s a host of entertainment to dive in to, including cinema screenings, live music and comedy, spectacular stage shows, casino gaming, quizzes, sports, deck games and so much more.
