The summer holiday season may be over, but there are plenty of cruise deals around if you want to start planning October half-term, winter sun trips, or even get ahead for next year. It’s been a great summer for cruising, with new ship launches and chances to see the solar eclipse at sea.
Passengers are spoilt for choice, with several new ships now on the water, including Royal Caribbean’s Legend of the Seas and Explora Journeys’ newest luxury vessel Explora III. Older cruise ships also offer plenty of charm and character.
