The world’s best cruises for 2024

N ew Year’s resolutions to embark on a new diet or make use of that expensive gym subscription are so dull it’s little wonder they fall by the wayside within weeks. But a promise to do something really different when it comes to holidaying on the high seas? Now that is a resolution worth keeping. And with so much going on in the world of cruising , this is certainly the year to do it. 

There are sparkling new ocean and river ships to discover, voyages for families, sybarites and wine lovers, and adventures to exotic lands where few have ever set foot. You can go diving with sharks, celebrate Thanksgiving in the home of jazz, learn about the night sky with astronomers, and practise yoga under the Adriatic sun – there’s something for every type of cruise fanatic. And if you’re yet to catch the bug? With so much to choose from, it’s only a matter of time.

Here are the best voyages on offer in 2024.

Skip ahead to:

Africa and the Indian Ocean

North america, northern europe.

  • Europe and the Mediterranean 

Cruise the Kimberley

Good news for Seabourn fans who shiver at the thought of a cruise to the South Pole; its ultra-luxury expedition ship Pursuit is going in search of heat, saltwater crocodiles and ancient rock art on its debut in the Kimberley. The Waterfalls and Wandjinas adventure takes you through the remote region, which is more than three times the size of England but home to barely 40,000 people. Sailings between Broome and Darwin depart from June to August and promise to thrill with a visit to Horizontal Falls, taking in reefs that seem to rise from the ocean and optional helicopter rides over the rainforest.

Book it: Seabourn offers the 10-night Waterfalls and Wandjinas adventure from £7,799pp. 

Have a whale of a time

Small ship specialist Coral Expeditions has teamed up with the Australian Geographic Society for a Whales and Trails of Western Australia expedition, which pairs wineries, coastal walks, wildflowers and the white sands of Lucky Bay with (hopefully) sightings of migratory humpback, southern right and blue whales. Expect daily lectures on board and swim and snorkel stops in quiet bays. The cruise, from Fremantle to Esperance and back, sets sail aboard the 120-passenger Coral Adventurer.

Book it: Coral Expeditions offers the 10-night Whales and Trails of Western Australia expedition from £4,805pp; departs October 5.

Expedition to the South Pole

Adventurous souls can follow in the footsteps of Australian explorer and scientist Sir Douglas Mawson on an epic 25-day expedition Scenic voyage to the eastern side of Antarctica next winter. Travel in the lap of luxury aboard Scenic Eclipse – a discovery yacht – with no more than 200 other passengers. The cruise starts in Milford Sound, New Zealand, and ends in Hobart, Tasmania. Spend 10 days exploring the icy wastes of the White Continent that hundreds of thousands of penguins call home.

Book it: Scenic offers the 25-day Mawson’s Antarctica: Along the East Coast from £23,700pp; departs December 15. Learn more about Antarctica with our expert guide.

Affordable Antarctica

Cruising to Antarctica might be thrilling, but the price tag can be enough to give you the chills. Princess Cruises’ new 17-night voyages from Buenos Aires won’t break the bank but includes four days’ scenic cruising in the White Continent. True you can’t step ashore – that’s only allowed if ships have 500 passengers or less – but you’ll see loads of penguins and, with luck, whales. Once Antarctica is ticked off the list, Sapphire Princess heads to Stanley for a day in the Falkland Islands.

Book it: Princess Cruises offers the 17-day Antarctica cruise from £1,699pp; departs December 1 and 18.

Animal magic

Safaris, cities and plenty of culture await on Azamara Cruises’ 15-night voyage around South Africa in December. The cruise, round-trip from Cape Town , calls into Durban and Mossel Bay, and includes two days in Richards Bay, from where passengers can head off on an overnight safari to Thanda private game reserve or go in search of hippos on a cruise through the wetlands. There’s also a free-for-everyone AzAmazing Evening of music, culture and tradition at Port Elizabeth. The cruise is on Azamara Quest, a small ship holding just over 700 passengers.

Book it: Azamara Cruises offers a 15-night South Africa Intensive Voyage departing December 20 from £2,413pp. Plan the perfect trip to Cape Town with our guide.

Sail the eclectic Indian Ocean

If Dubai’s city of superlatives doesn’t impress, giant tortoises in the Seychelles surely will. Norwegian Cruise Line’s 14-day voyage from Port Louis, the capital of Mauritius, to Doha in Qatar is a cornucopia of contrasts, pairing Middle Eastern culture in the United Arab Emirate of Abu Dhabi and Muscat in Oman with rainforests and volcanoes in Reunion, lemur spotting in Nosy Be in Madagascar, and high-energy rock shows on the 2,340-passenger Norwegian Dawn.

Book it: Norwegian Cruise Line offers the 14-day Seychelles, Madagascar, Oman and UAE cruise from £1,289pp; departs ​December 8.

Expand your horizons

Proving education can be fun, SeaTrek Sailing Adventures has created two new family-friendly holidays that will have children, teens and parents spying dragons, swimming with whale sharks, and hunting bugs and butterflies as they sail around the islands along Indonesia’s Ring of Fire. Learn about wildlife and conservation with UK naturalists Ray and Angela Hale. The round-trip cruises from Komodo Island are aboard the Ombak Putih, a traditional Indonesian sailing ship that holds just 24 passengers.

Book it: Stubborn Mule Travel offers SeaTrek’s nine-day Whale Sharks, Corals and Dragons adventure from £6,465pp including flights; departs July 30 and August 10; flights depart UK July 28 or August 8.

Meander the Mekong

You can never have too much of a good thing. Which is why Emerald Cruises has added two days to its one-week voyages on the Mekong River in Cambodia and Vietnam this year, aboard Emerald Harmony, and renamed them Meandering Majestic Mekong. The extra time allows for new excursions that will see passengers visit incense factories, schools and temples, and ride in cyclos (think carts pulled by pedal bikes). Familiar favourites will also remain, such as sightseeing in Phnom Penh by tuk-tuk after dark, tours to the Khmer Rouge Killing Fields and explorations of local markets.

Book it: Emerald Cruises offers the 10-day Meandering Majestic Mekong cruise from £2,734pp; departs August–October.

Expect the unexpected

Guest chef restaurateur Jean-Francoise Piege will be joining passengers on French cruise line Ponant’s gastronomy and wine-themed voyage around Japan’s Seto Inland Sea this autumn. This one-off adventure, on Le Soleal, an elegant small ship that holds just 264 passengers, starts in Kobe and ends in Fukuoka after a week exploring temples and shrines, visiting art galleries and learning about samurai warriors on calls into traditional villages and towns where few tourists ever set foot. There is also a day in the South Korean city of Yeosu.

Book it: Ponant offers the seven-night Expedition in the Seto Inland Sea from £5,350pp; departs October 3.

Disney has a new island

Be among the first to step ashore on Lookout Cay, a new private island Disney Cruise Line is opening in the Bahamas this summer. The island newbie has beaches, water slides and three bars exclusively for adults. Disney Fantasy’s 10-night Southern Caribbean voyage also visits Antigua, St Lucia, Dominica and the British Virgin Islands. And just when you think it can’t get better, there’s also a day of splash-tastic family fun at Castaway Cay, Disney’s current long-standing private island.

Book it: Disney Cruise Line offers the 10-night Southern Caribbean voyage from £9,042 (for two adults and one child sharing an inside cabin); departs Port Canaveral July 25.

Down Mexico way

Ever wondered what Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor, the Sea of Cortez and cliff divers have in common? Carnival Cruise Line’s one-week Mexican Riviera voyages has the answer. The new Carnival Firenze launches in April under a Carnival Fun Italian Style moniker that pairs Carnival’s non-stop family entertainment, teppanyaki dining and adults-only retreat with decor that mimics Florence’s Piazza Duomo and bars serving Italian fine wines. The ship will visit Puerto Vallarta (where Burton and Taylor owned a house), Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas this summer.

Book it: Carnival Cruise Line offers the seven-day Mexican Riviera from £479pp; departs August–November.

Give thanks on the Mississippi

Elvis, the American Civil War and soul food are the ultimate combination on American Cruise Lines’ river boat American Symphony as it navigates the mighty Mississippi from New Orleans to Memphis this year. There are plenty of departures to choose from, but opt for the November 26 date through Fred Holidays and you’ll enjoy the first three nights in the Big Easy to coincide with the annual Thanksgiving Parade. This is when the French Quarter comes alive with colour, floats parade through the streets and the music of marching bands fills the air. A final night in Memphis also offers time to get down with the blues on Beale Street.

Book it: Fred Holidays offers 11 nights departing from the UK on November 2626 from £5,699pp including flights and cruise.

Celebrate the best of British

The Queen Anne – Cunard’s first new cruise ship in 12 years – is set to launch this year. Join the circumnavigation of the UK in May and you’ll experience the vessel’s first-ever British Isles voyage. Celebrating the best of Britain and Ireland, there’ll be talks about the island’s history and heritage, celebration menus, British and Irish entertainment and a day in Liverpool – Cunard’s base until 1967 – along with other port favourites including Edinburgh , Kirkwall and Belfast.

Book it: Cunard’s 14-night British Isles Festival Voyage costs from £1,489pp; departs Southampton May 24.

Northern lights

Book it: Havila Voyages offers an 11-night astronomy adventure from £1,243pp including access to the lectures, departing October 30. Learn more about planning the ultimate trip to see the Northern Lights in our expert guide.

A Look at Virgin’s New 2024-25 Program in the Caribbean

  • April 5, 2024

Virgin's Resilient Lady calling in Darwin Australia

After canceling its 2024-25 season in Australia and New Zealand, Virgin Voyage’s s introducing a new winter program in the Caribbean.

Sailing from San Juan, the Resilient Lady is set to offer a series of seven- to 11-night cruises to Southern and Eastern Caribbean.
