Good to know
Booking a small ship cruise at short notice
Few cabins, so they go quickly
Small ships carry a fraction of the guests of the big cruise lines, so each departure only has so many cabins. This page brings every departure in the next 90 days together, so you can see at a glance what is still sailing soon.
Cruise only or with flights & hotel
Cruise-only prices cover the cruise itself. Prices marked Flights & hotel included are our full packages, with flights from the UK, hotel nights and transfers; each cruise page shows exactly what is included.
Real prices, updated every day
Every price comes straight from the cruise’s own price table and is per person. Where a special offer applies, the normal price is shown crossed out beside it, and departures that have sailed drop off automatically.
Questions
Last minute cruises: your questions answered
What counts as a last minute cruise on this page?
Any departure in the next 90 days that is still listed in our price tables. The list updates itself every day, so departures that have sailed drop off and new ones move in.
Are flights included in the prices?
Only where you see Flights & hotel included. Those are our full packages, with flights from the UK, hotel nights and transfers. Cruise-only prices cover the cruise; if you would like flights with a cruise-only departure, ask our team for a tailor-made quote.
Is my booking financially protected?
Yes. Holidays with flights are covered by our ATOL licence 9511, and bookings without flights by our ABTOT membership (5660), from deposit to balance.
I can’t see the dates I want. What now?
Call our UK team on 020 8324 3117 or ask for a quote. Availability changes all the time, and we can check other dates, ships and cruises for you.
