CRUISE & STAY
With Kuoni
EXPERIENCE EVERYTHING, MISS NOTHING
We’re dialling the cruise experience up a notch so you can combine the freedom of the seas with some epic on-land escapades. Our Cruise & Stay holidays aren’t off-the-shelf. They’re bold, brilliant and bespoke.
We’ve picked the best at-sea (and on-river) trips from our favourite cruise partners that link some legendary cities. So why would you just set sail? We’re here to let you know just how to make the most of the time bookending your voyage. We’ve tapped into our endless expertise, gathered all our best hints, tips and insider knowledge, and played matchmaker to find the perfect stay to your cruise.
ULTRA-LUXURY CRUISES
This isn’t cruising as you’ve imagined it. An uber-luxe Cruise & Stay holiday means bijou ships that can dock pretty much anywhere, and some exceptional inclusions like free-flowing Champagne, butler service and gourmet dining.
FAMILY CRUISES
If you want all out fun and frolics for everyone in your crew, you need to pick a ship that has all the bells and whistles (beyond the ship’s own). And thanks to a serious case of oneupmanship, the bells, whistles and facilities are evolving with every ship launch.
PREMIUM CRUISES
More dining options than days of the week, seemingly endless lists of cutting-edge facilities, attentive service and West Endat-sea levels of entertainment all unite on a premium cruise. The vibe changes between cruise lines and from ship to ship.
RIVER CRUISES
Rivers are, and long have been, a lifeline for the people who live along their winding path. And the best way to take in life by the water? Hop on board a river cruise ship and wake each day in a new impossibly beautiful spot – be it village, town or city –every day.
ULTRA-LUXURY CRUISES
Europe & the Caribbean
A MEDIEVAL MEDITERRANEAN TALE
Have one foot in the present (on the ultra-modern Silver Nova) and one in the past (in Croatian medieval cities and Greek archaeological sites) on a holiday that’s full of European wonder.
Lake Garda & the Eastern Med – 15 nights
THE STAY
We couldn’t think of a better way to kick off your holiday than with a few blissful days on the edge of Lake Garda full of good food, good vibes and great scenery. We’ve picked Mykonos to follow up the cruise as it’s wonderfully bougie and as scenically spectacular as the ports of call you’ll be visiting.
CARIBBEAN BEACH CHIC
From £9,549pp
THE CRUISE
Experience one of the world’s finest cruise lines on an allinclusive journey through the Adriatic and Aegean. Stroll Zadar’s cobbled streets, bask in Hvar’s glow, and fall for Dubrovnik’s old-world beauty. Sail on to Olympia and Gytheio, where ancient legends meet modern indulgence.
This holiday combines a stylish stay in Barbados with a next-level-luxury cruise visiting a string of relaxed islands where life moves at a gentler pace, and laid-back days in Grenada.
Quieter Caribbean Quays – 13 nights
THE STAY
Start with a stay at Coral Reef Club to ease you into your holiday with a touch of calm and comfort. This boutique hotel is one of Barbados’s finest. After you’ve docked, hop down to Grenada and the five-star Spice Island Beach Resort, tucked along the spectacular Grand Anse Beach.
From £7,149pp
THE CRUISE
Sail in ultra-luxury on an all-inclusive ship, ideally sized for the Caribbean’s smaller ports. Beyond Bridgetown, Saint Kitts, Guadeloupe and Saint Lucia, visit Les Trois-Îlets and Roseau by day, then return to refined dining and sparkling evenings.

MIAMI HEAT MEETS JUNGLE BEATS
This one’s all about bucket-list moments, a vibrant city stay and a sophisticated beach break. Kick it all off in Miami before setting sail for canal transits, New World relics and jungle adventures.
Miami & the Panama Canal – 17 nights
THE STAY
Kick off in sun-kissed Miami where beach vibes meet Art Deco heritage, Cuban flair and neighbourhoods bedazzled with street art. We’ve added on a few laid-back nights in Naples on the Gulf Coast to round out your holiday. It’s a shopper’s paradise and has a stunner of a beach.
THE CRUISE
Sail south from Florida and watch the Caribbean unfold. Think pastel Dutch charm in Aruba, Cartagena’s cobbled colour, a peek inside the Panama Canal, Costa Rican jungles with sloths, and Grand Cayman’s beaches. Between adventures, sea days are for cocktails, spa time, and sunshine.
ROCKY RAILS & SCENIC SAILS
This is a wish-list adventure for fans of wildlife, outdoor adventures and epic landscapes. Set off on a journey on the Rocky Mountaineer and cruise the coast of Alaska.
Journey through the Clouds & Alaska Cruise – 15 nights
THE STAY
We’ve picked a classic to set the really wild tone of your whole holiday: a trip through the Rocky Mountains from Banff and Jasper and into British Columbia. Winding your way at a glacial pace through the Rockies cannot be beaten. And the Rocky Mountaineer train is the way to do it in style.
THE CRUISE
Some say the best way to experience Alaska is by sea, and we agree. Glide past soaring fjords and tumbling glaciers, watch whales breach and eagles wheel overhead, then step ashore where frontier spirit lingers. With Holland America, elegance meets a ship sized perfectly for Alaska’s wonders.

EAST SEA
With its shrines, temples, long-held traditions and neon-lit nightlife, Japan’s a hot ticket. Hop from city to city by sea and see more in 12 nights than you could ever experience on land alone. From
Japan Discovery – 19 nights
THE STAY
Spend a full pre-cruise day in Tokyo seeing different sides to the city: modern Shibuya ward, pop-culture focused Akihabara district and more traditional Asakusa. With Middle Eastern airlines like Emirates linking the UK and Japan, it’s really easy to just add on a few days in Dubai on the way home.
MEKONG MOMENTS
THE CRUISE
Exploring Japan feels utterly effortless when your hotel moves with you. Wake to temples or markets, then recharge back onboard, sipping icy drinks under the stars at the rooftop terrace or lingering over creative dining. A cruise is an unrivalled way to see Japan for first-timers or returnees.
This is the Mekong, where village life unfolds at every bend. This fifteen-night journey takes you from buzzing Ho Chi Minh to golden shores by way of the mighty river and Siem Reap.
Saigon, the Mekong & Beyond – 15 nights
THE STAY
Your journey begins with some time in Ho Chi Minh. This is your chance to dive into the city’s intoxicating mix of boulevards, markets and street food. Round things off with a stay in Siem Reap, the gateway to Angkor, where sunrise temple visits and jungle-wrapped ruins are yours to explore.
THE CRUISE
From £3,699pp
Wake to a river alive with drifting hyacinths and passing boats. Across Vietnam and Cambodia you can step into floating markets, silk workshops and stilt-house villages. Then return each evening to cocktails and dinners as lanterns and riverside lights flicker across the Mekong.

DESERT DELIGHTS
One holiday, four ports and all the highlights of the Arabian Gulf. This trip blends great value with great adventure – made for every generation and each stop lingers long enough to savour it all.
Shores of the Arabian Gulf – 15 nights
THE STAY
Before your cruise, pause in Abu Dhabi where we recommend diving into Yas Island for rides, slides and Ferrari drives. Want more once you’ve disembarked? We’ll check you into the Grand Hyatt Dubai with its new 15-slide waterpark. And from November 2025, you’ll get unlimited access during your stay.
SPICE & THE CITY
THE CRUISE
See just how much the Arabian Gulf packs in when you explore it by sea. One day you’re riding roller coasters in Abu Dhabi, the next haggling for saffron in Dubai or tasting street snacks in Doha. Throw in Bahrain’s forts and Sir Bani Yas Island’s giraffes, and you’ve got a cruise with serious range.
Framed by city stays, this holiday takes you across the South China Sea and Gulf of Thailand, calling at gems across the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei, Vietnam and Thailand. From £4,199pp From £2,949pp
South-East Asia Explorer – 15 nights
THE STAY
We suggest starting off with a stay in Hong Kong to ease into the journey and get a real feel for the city’s energy. Singapore is the perfect place to wrap things up. Keep the momentum going as you explore its hawker centres and gardens. Don’t miss a night at the Supertree Grove to watch the light show.
THE CRUISE
Sail Asia with days that swing between temples and tuk-tuks ashore and music and mojitos back on board. Snorkel wrecks in the Philippines, cruise Bangkok’s river, then return for wine tastings, Latin dance nights or a quiet dip in the pool before tomorrow’s adventure.
