Types of Cruise Holidays

With a no-fly cruise you’re getting exactly what it says on the tin so to speak. Often these cruises will depart from the UK, with ports such as Southampton, Tilbury and Dover being three of the most popular.

However you can also book mini cruises in destinations as far away as Miami for a 5 night Caribbean cruise.

River cruises will take you to some of the most beautiful destinations around the world with destinations including Africa, France, Belgium and Switzerland. Often the ships are smaller and more intimate, you’ll also often find that river cruise lines have retained much of the traditional cruise culture of more formal attire for evening meals.

which still works out better value than having the cruise line add drinks to your bill as you go. Our top tip – if you see an all inclusive offer – go for it!

We always recommend adding a night or two either side of your voyage because jet lag is a party pooper and there is nothing worse than spending a day or two of your holiday trying to recover or hunting for luggage. Popular options include pre-cruise stays in Miami or Barcelona, tropical resorts in the Caribbean, and city breaks in Singapore or Vancouver. Book one of our cruise and stay packages for hassle-free travel, incredible cruise deals, and a holiday that actually feels like a holiday.

It is part adventure, part seagoing road trip and entirely brilliant for anyone who loves relaxed itineraries, longer sea days and making memories in ports less trampled by the masses. Book with Cruise Nation and we will pair you with the best value repositioning options and best-in-class holidays at sea so your next voyage feels effortless from booking to boarding.

Smart Packages are created by us here at Cruise Nation. We customise cruises by adding flights and free pre or post cruise stays so that you get to spend more time exploring and relaxing.

Each world cruise is slightly different to the next in terms of ports of call. It’s a common misconception that world cruises are expensive; however on Cruise Nation we have cruises available to suit all budgets with 16 night world cruises available from around £1500pp.
