What better way to escape the stress and chaos of the festive season than setting sail for distant shores.
Leave the ghost of Christmas past behind on dry land and get into the spirit of 2016 with a luxury cruise.
Encounter explosions of colour, towering volcanic peaks and rich nautical histories from the decks of Ventura. After two relaxing days at sea you’ll arrive in Lisbon. It’s such a beautiful place, you’d be forgiven if you wanted to stay put, but the rest of the calling points on this delightful cruise will keep you happy at sea.
This stunning voyage will take you on a colourful, atmospheric cruise around some of Europe’s most scenic ports of call, including Lanzarote, Gran Canaria, Tenerife, La Palma and Madeira.
Cruises are becoming increasingly popular for 2016 as holidaymakers seek to pack in as many sights and cities as possible. Passengers can explore bustling, sun-drenched ports or choose to stay onboard and simply soak up the sun or enjoy the non-stop activities and entertainment.
One of the advantages of a cruise holiday is that you can take in multiple destinations without having to hop on and off planes and battle with airport queues.
Another bonus is that you only need to unpack once! On a cruise you can simply board the ship and sail away, leaving all of your cares behind.
