Cruises
Prepare for the whole cruise journey
A cruise combines transport, accommodation, destinations and onboard experiences. Thoughtful preparation can help you compare options and understand what is included before you book.
Choosing a cruise
Consider itinerary and time in port, ship style and size, cabin location, dining, accessibility, onboard atmosphere and the needs of everyone travelling. Look beyond the initial fare to understand inclusions and likely additional costs.
Before departure
Check passport and entry requirements for every relevant destination, cruise-line documentation, embarkation arrangements, baggage guidance, health requirements and appropriate insurance. Requirements can differ from an equivalent land journey.
Packing for life onboard and ashore
Plan for embarkation day, onboard dress guidance, excursions, climate changes, charging needs and any cruise-line restrictions. Keep essential medication and documents in your hand luggage.
Third-party booking note
Cruise searches or booking links may be supplied by selected third parties. Itineraries, prices, inclusions and conditions are controlled by the relevant provider and may change.
