In short
This section helps you choose a cruise route by the experience you want: sun in the Caribbean, Canaries or Gulf; scenery in the fjords, Alaska or the Arctic; culture in the Mediterranean or Baltic; or slow days on a crossing. The club discount and points work the same everywhere, so pick by the trip you want.
Whichever you choose, the club savings work identically — the discount and the points aren't destination-specific. So the region is purely about what you want out of the trip.
Best in winter
Sun in the Caribbean, the Canary Islands or the Gulf — or snow and the northern lights in Norway. Winter cruises compared →
Norwegian Fjords
Cliffs and waterfalls straight out of the water, and towns that only make sense arriving by sea. Quieter and more dramatic than a beach route.
Caribbean in Winter
Warm, sunny and island-hopping while Europe is dark by five. The most straightforward answer to “I just need sun”.
The Mediterranean
Ancient towns, regional food and a different coastline every day or two — often 3–4 countries in one trip.
The Baltic Sea
Four or five capitals in a week, each a short sail apart — and often departing from Northern Europe, so the flying is minimal.
Canary Islands
Reliable winter sun about four hours away instead of eight. Volcanic islands, Atlantic surf, warm enough to walk.
Northern Lights
The same Norwegian coast as the summer fjords, transformed: snow, dark skies and — if it cooperates — the aurora.
Arabian Gulf
Skylines, souks and desert within short overnight hops, dependably warm while Europe is grey.
Alaska
Glaciers calving into the water, whales beside the ship, mountains that make everything look small. Short season, long memory.
Transatlantic
Days of open ocean and nothing to catch. Either the best rest of your life or deeply boring — be honest with yourself.
South America
Brazilian beaches, Montevideo and Buenos Aires from November to April — real summer while Europe is grey.
Patagonia & Cape Horn
Two weeks from one ocean to the other: Ushuaia, glaciers, penguins and, weather permitting, Cape Horn.

From November to April the big ships spend the season in South America. Fly over, sail across from Europe or head to Cape Horn — the South America cruise season guide →

Not sure which fits?
Want something striking and calm — the fjords, or the Arctic in winter. Just need reliable sun — the Caribbean, the Canaries or the Gulf. Want variety and culture in one trip — the Mediterranean or the Baltic. Want the trip itself to be the point — Alaska or a crossing. Back to the traveler's guide →
