Ocean Cruising
Our ocean cruising content is brought to you in partnership with Virgin Voyages
Ocean cruising remains an ideal way to see the world. By taking to the open seas and discovering historic cities, remote islands and rarely-seen landscapes, you’ll sail in luxury while your destinations speak for themselves – with culture, local cuisine and world-class heritage awaiting you.
From experiencing the romance of traditional tall-ship sailing, or the adventure of an expedition cruise, our advice will help you embark on the epic voyage of a lifetime, or squeeze in a short trip close to home. Ocean liners are packed with facilities, entertainment opportunities and dining venues, making days at sea as entertaining as those in port. We’ll help you get the best out of everything!
