Check out our favourite places to stay in Liverpool before you cruise
Europe
Scotland
Although close in distance, Scotland’s rugged landscape will seem a world away from your Liverpool departure. Sailing the Western edge of the country will reveal the highlights of the mainland and its many unique islands, such as Skye, Mull and Lewis. Capture orca’s bathing in the Atlantic, castles gripping to the cliffs’ edge and peaceful beaches lying in some of the most secluded areas of the UK. We highly recommend stops in Ullapool, Lerwick and Stornoway.
Iceland
Within just two days, you can cruise in comfort from Liverpool to Iceland - The Land of Fire and Ice - with its lively volcanoes and majestic glaciers. Explore the other-worldly scenery, varied wildlife and unique culture as you are guided around this impressive island. Watch the landscape change from wide fjords to snow-capped mountains and vast, tumbling waterfalls, experiencing a country like no other.
Greenland
As a foreign territory of Denmark, this country sits within the North American continent but is actually part of Europe. Nuuk, the island’s capital, is a sight to behold, with coloured houses framed by dominating mountains, where lucky cruisers will get the chance to witness the Aurora Borealis up close. Further East, glaciers and ice fjords come into view – a true spectacle as they glint in the sun within one of the world’s last pure wildernesses.
Spain and Portugal
Sail down the Western edge of Europe to witness the highlights of Spain and Portugal. Cruises to this area of the Atlantic will often visit the highlights of Lisbon, Cádiz and Gibraltar, just to name a few, allowing you to sample the delicious pastéis de nata at their original bakery, delight the senses with traditional tapas and wonder at The Rock dominating the British overseas territory.
Italy
Crystal clear waters, tree-lined hillsides and trees dripping with lemons await you on the Amalfi coast, just one of the destinations of many to choose from along the Italian Mediterranean coastline. Here, the ports of Sorrento, Salerno and Capri welcome visitors with their world-renowned cuisine and charm. The area is filled with history, beautiful churches, Roman villas and the mighty Mount Vesuvius, unmistakeable on the horizon from the comfort of the ship. Disembark to explore the exotic gardens scattered around the shore, shop the Italian way to find hidden gems and devour the local pizza, pasta and gelato in the warming sun.
Croatia
A lesser-known area of the Mediterranean, this country’s charm is soon becoming a popular destination for cruisers due to its beautiful architecture and stunning natural coastlines, which make the perfect morning views from the comfort of your cabin. Leaving the ship will take you into the UNESCO protected old towns of Split and Dubrovnik with their winding cobbled streets, Roman architecture and world-renowned collections of art and history. Game of Thrones fans will recognise their surroundings as they wander the streets of Dubrovnik and both locations host world-class beaches for true relaxation.
The Canary Islands
The Canaries are a popular Winter destination from Liverpool, guaranteeing some much-needed Vitamin D within just five days of travel. The largest of the islands, Tenerife, offers black sandy beaches and a local cuisine influenced by the volcanic soil and hot climate. Beach lovers will not be disappointed here and those seeking adventure can hike inland to Teide National Park to view the volcanic landscape up close. Just a stone’s throw West, La Palma is home to the world’s clearest skies, making it the best location to gaze up at the stars from your cabin. Lesser known than its neighbour, this island offers the same relaxing escape with a quieter atmosphere for those seeking the ultimate day of peace and serenity.
The Americas
Canada
After four days sailing in luxury across the Atlantic, you can arrive in Canada, famed for its wonderful hospitality and breathtaking scenery. Destinations on its Eastern seaboard include St John’s, Halifax and Quebec, alongside a number of smaller ports which allow for true immersion into the Canadian wilderness. The Mingan Archipelago National Park Reserve boasts over 40 islands and is home to native porpoises and whales whilst the Saguenay Fjord welcomes belugas each year and, onshore, promises sights of moose and brown bears. If you're lucky enough to sail further north, the scenery of Canada changes dramatically, becoming home to polar bears and Arctic foxes living within truly unique habitats.
The Caribbean
From Liverpool you can now sail directly to the Caribbean without the hassle of air travel. Within just eight days aboard your new home, these islands filled with palm trees and shimmering beaches come into view. Cruises here seek to dock in as many islands as possible to allow you to experience the wide variety of culture, food and scenery on offer in this magical archipelago. Explore the history of the English Harbour as you wander the streets in Antigua, smell the exotic flowers in the botanical gardens of Martinique and hike in the rainforests of Grenada. Each island also offers world class beaches and delicious local cuisines for days of true relaxation in the sun.
Round the world
Did you know that, directly from Liverpool docks, you can explore up to six different continents in just over 100 days? With different routes available, these cruises are for those wishing to embark upon the holiday of a lifetime. Make yourself at home in your cabin and sit back and relax as you are shown world highlights such as the Christ the Redeemer in Rio De Janeiro, the secluded, white beaches dotted about in the Pacific Ocean or the white curves of the Sydney Opera House. Imagine the adventures as you disembark in the jungles of Costa Rica, the bustling streets of Mumbai or the vineyards of Cape Town. This cruise will be an epic adventure within the comfort and luxury of your new home on the ocean.
