2026 Cruises

From winter sun destinations to Arctic waters and everything in between, our 2026 cruises offer remarkable sailings around the globe. Each cruise has been expertly crafted by our journey planners so we can take our guests to the world's very best places at the very best times of year.

At the end of January, Borealis will leave the UK winter chill behind and will embark on an exciting exploration of South America and the Antarctic, unveiling tropical landscapes, vibrant music and dance, and the icy vistas of the Antarctic Peninsula. You'll have opportunities to immerse yourself in the Latin American lifestyle, indulging in local specialities like Chilean wine paired with Argentine steak, experiencing displays of the mesmerising tango, and witnessing the world-renowned Rio Carnival on a special tour.

Our spring 2026 cruises will take you to the warm waters of the Mediterranean as we explore Italy’s scenic riviera with charming Cinque Terre, the Amalfi Coast, and the captivating Dalmatian coast, where enchanting lakes, mountains, and islands await, while the Norwegian fjords offer spectacular scenery at every turn.

New for summer 2026, we're proud to introduce a fantastic collection of cruises, expertly crafted for your summer adventures. With three cruises specially timed to view the rare natural phenomenon of the solar eclipse, you'll be joined by experts from Go Stargazing who will share their incredible celestial knowledge with you. You'll also have opportunities to marvel at the awe-inspiring Norwegian Fjords, explore historic Baltic cities, breathe in the heady scents of the garden island of Madeira, and sail along size-restricted French rivers.
