What is a Cruise and Stay Holiday?
A cruise and stay holiday combines a cruise with extra time ashore before or after your sailing. It gives you the opportunity to explore your departure city, relax at a beach resort or add a memorable land-based adventure to your trip.
Your stay could be a few nights in destinations such as Barcelona, Rome, Miami or Vancouver, or part of a longer itinerary featuring rail travel, touring or multiple stops. Backed by the wider tailor-made travel expertise of Delmar World, our cruise specialists can bring the flights, accommodation, transfers and cruise together into one carefully planned holiday.
With every element arranged around your sailing, you can enjoy more of the destination while travelling with complete confidence.
