Bookings open 26 November 2025 for general release. But just like big concerts and sporting events, cruises are typically released to the public at the same time so everyone has access to the same initial booking window. However some cruise lines and specific travel agencies like Bicton Travel, offer pre sale or early access periods for certain cruises.

These cruises are likely to sell out quickly – don’t miss out.
