Luxury Cruise Holidays

A luxury cruise offers the chance to relax and unwind in beautiful surroundings, with attentive service, superlative food and a ship that changes the scenery for you. From contemporary, relaxed and informal to more traditional styles of cruising, the advent of new ships has brought very different styles to the cruising scene; allowing you to visit many countries, beautiful hotels and unique locations in one memorable holiday. 

All of our luxury cruise ship itineraries are designed to inspire, yet are a mere taste of the cruises available. Whilst not represented here, we are delighted to be able to offer you the full range of itineraries for each of the cruise companies we work with, allowing you to select from romantic city tours to round-the-world trips and everything in between.

Our 2012/13 worldwide programme is still being finalised and will be available from June 2012. In the meantime, if you'd like any information and prices for 2011/12 cruises, please call and speak to one of our Travel Consultants on 01244 897 200.

Alongside these luxury cruise liners, Elegant Resorts offers alternative luxury boating experiences. From river cruises, to tall ships, luxury barges and grand yachts - even a steamship that once graced the Nile with royalty aboard. These unique ships offer intimacy, luxury and style; for more information visit the Luxury Boating Holidays page.
