Prepare to be WOW’D - No-Fly Cruises are finally here!  
 
Our cruises offer you the most value for your money with the price including return travel from your selected pickup point to your port in London before head off onto the high seas. Full board cuisine comes as standard as well as on board entertainment, leisure activities and time in each location when you dock! 
 
Our cruises really are worth every penny! 
 
Our first cruise is a long weekend 4 night cruise starting with a drive down to London Tilbury, to meet your cruise ship nestled along the River Thames in Essex. Porterage from the port to your cabin is included so you can be sure you’re getting the full VIP treatment before you even set sail. 
 
No matter which cabin you go for, you can be sure comfort will be guaranteed. Each cabin has its own ensuite toilet and bathtub or shower, wardrobe and desk/dressing table area as well as tea/coffee making facilities, flat screen TV, hairdryer, personal safe and those all important 3 pin UK USB and plug sockets so you can free up space in your luggage and leave those adapters at home! If you need additional room aids, let us know - rooms with mobility aids are available too. Lifts are also available so you can be sure you can access your cabin and facilities easily.

Once on board, there is plenty to do between each destination including evening shows, cabarets, live music and daytime activities including dance classes, deck games and quizzes.
 
If you are wanting to indulge in rest and relaxation, be sure to bring your swimwear to make full use of the swimming pool, spa and hot tubs or perhaps attending fitness, dance, wellbeing classes is more for you - there’s something for all! 
 
Your cruise is full board with all meals included (drinks are payable) with speciality dining options available if you want to celebrate your holiday with extra panache! (supplementary charges apply and not included in the cost). 
 
Where are we docking we hear you ask!
 
Our first port of call is the bustling harbour, Ljmuiden on the Dutch coast. You have a full day to explore the area. Will you head towards historic landmarks like the North Sea Canal or will you commute to Amsterdam (a 30 minute taxi ride away) and spend the day taking in all the different attractions it has to offer including the Van Gogh Museum, the Anne Frank Walking Tour or even joining a waffle making tour! As the day draws to an end, we head back to the ship and set sail for Zeebrugge, Belgium!

Next stop: Zeebrugge, tucked away on the Belgium coast and rich in maritime history and serene beauty. Will you head to the beach and spend the day relaxing and enjoying shrimp with a cold drink in your hand or perhaps you will want to explore everything the fishing town has to offer including stunning churches and museums teeming with local history and information? 
 
For those wanting to venture further afield, the World Heritage City Bruges is a 30 minute train ride away. If you love history, we recommend booking onto a walking tour of the city and a visit to the Basilica of the Holy Blood featuring the Holy Blood Relic. For the chocolate lovers among you, be sure to pick up some treats from Bruges - and maybe even make a visit to the Choco-Story Museum!
