Cruise & Walk holidays: the best of both worlds

Working with Fred Olsen Cruise Lines, we’ve created a special category of walking holidays which takes you to a new destination each day.

Do you like the idea of taking a cruise to lots of different places, but would prefer a holiday with a bit more activity? Are you keen to go on a walking holiday, but would like to cover more ground during your time away? Problem solved! 

Our Cruise & Walk holidays combine the best of both. Each night, a cruise ship takes you to a different port, so you’ll wake up somewhere new. Then you disembark and explore the area on foot: coast, countryside, hills, cultural and historical cities... there’s always lots to see and do. At the end of the day you get back on board, and while you’re sleeping you’re carried away to your next destination.

We offer a wide range of Cruise & Walk holidays, in all sorts of interesting locations and lasting from five nights to over a fortnight. Here are just a few examples.
