Cruising Beneath the Equator

Discover the southern hemisphere on a first-class cruise

Discover the vibrant wonders, culture and delicacies of the southern hemisphere, all while enjoying the luxurious comfort of a first-class cruise. Gone are the days when cruise-ship holidays were reserved for over-60s wearing eye-wateringly bright Hawaiian shirts and binoculars.

On a cruise, you make the most of every holiday minute – explore the thriving heart of a new city every day, then lounge poolside with a fruity cocktail as you glide across the ocean to your next destination. Luxury cruises provide an all-inclusive travel option, great for parents with young children, solo travellers and large groups. Sit back, relax, and enjoy everything these luxury cruises have to offer.

Family cruising through Indonesia or South America

Take the whole family on an unforgettable experience through the tranquil jungles of Indonesia, or bustling and vibrant South America, all the way down to the chillingly beautiful Antarctica. When not exploring the hidden gems of the world, there’s so much fun to be had on board your luxury cruiser. Norwegian Cruise Lines are well-known for their family-travel experiences, with activities for children of all ages – dodgeball, cupcake-making, themed birthday parties and Circus School.

Then you’ve got family-friendly accommodation options, world-class restaurants where your family can experience delicious local delicacies, destination-themed activities, waterparks, movie theatres and more. Princess Cruises are best known for their lavish on-board entertainment, ranging from one-of-a-kind productions to magic shows, dance performances and laugh-out-loud live comedians.

Group travel through the South Pacific

Grab a group of friends and savour the flavours of the South Pacific like you’ve never done before. Soak up the culture, music and harmonies of the many people that call the South Pacific home, while creating everlasting memories on board a luxury, all-inclusive cruise ship.

Pick the right cruise line and there’s something for everyone. Bask poolside, shop till you drop, enjoy an evening drink at the bar and dine on the finest cuisine. Discover remote islands by kayak, learn about native wildlife, and explore the land respectfully with an expedition team. With Regent Seven Seas Cruises no expense is spared, and with unrivalled service, groups can indulge the body and mind in state-of-the-art spa and fitness facilities, and party the night away in one of their luxurious passenger lounges.

Seabourn is also a great option when travelling in a group, with award-winning, curated voyages available to the South Pacific, hand-selected itineraries to suit your travel needs, and exceptional service.
