If you’re taking the long-term view on holidays and planning something wonderful for 2022, then a cruise may be just the option you’re looking for. Whilst we have a huge range of long-haul cruises across the globe, if you’re trying cruise for the first time – or returning to cruising after a few years – then cruising around Europe is the perfect option.

Want to start small? If you’re dipping your toe into the world of cruising, then why not start with a two-night cruise on Cunard’s super-luxurious Queen Victoria? Sail from Southampton to Hamburg, staying in a stunning Britannia Inside Stateroom, where you’ll be greeted with a bottle of sparkling wine. Included in your cruise are superb dining options and evening entertainment. With a deposit of only £40 per person, this two-night cruise is priced from only £269 per person. This cruise departs in January 2022 and after two days of luxury like this, you’ll be hooked!

Sailing from Southampton in February 2022, Fred. Olsen’s Balmoral is a super little ship, combining luxury with the intimacy of a small, more friendly craft with the added advantage of being able to sail right into the cities of Rouen, Antwerp and Amsterdam. This 8-night cruise is priced from £799 per person and includes a free drinks package. Ask about options for solo travelers as well as couples. The advantage of a city cruise at this time of year is the ability to sightsee with plenty of space when these popular cities are not so busy.

Want to wait for the better weather? Head from Southampton on a 7-night cruise of Spain and France departing in May 2022. The Royal Caribbean’s Anthem of the Seas offers not only superb comfort but boasts some of the best culinary options available at sea with a range of delicious restaurants to choose from. Add to this, experiences like skydiving, flow-rider surfing, basketball and a whole range of other entertainments makes this the perfect family cruise to Bordeaux, Bilbao, La Coruna and Paris. Priced from £799 per person, could this be your perfect family cruise?
