LUXURY CRUISE HOLIDAYS

Discover Cruise Holidays

There’s nothing like exploring the world from the comfort of a luxurious cruise ship. If you’re looking to discover new places and meet new people, all from a relaxed and sumptuous setting, then a luxurious Escapes by BFP cruise could be perfect for you.

The world is full of so many extraordinary and beautiful places that it can sometimes feel hard choosing just one to explore on a holiday. This is one of the things which make cruises so wonderful. They give you the chance to explore lots of places and see many interesting things, without the trouble of lots of flights or endless packing and unpacking. Whether you want to explore far-flung destinations only accessible by boat, or simply love being on the water and all the wonderful amenities being on a luxury cruise ship brings, our team of advisors can plan the perfect sumptuous cruise for you.

Escape to new horizons

There really is nothing like travelling by boat to bring together a sense of adventure with one of quiet luxury. Whether you’re looking to incorporate a short cruise into a longer holiday, or plan on travelling entirely by boat, we can plan the perfect trip for you.

Cruises introduce you to an entirely different perspective on new countries, one where you’re able to dive straight into the very best in waterfront opportunities. The views from the water of Sydney Harbour, for example, are unparalleled, and this is a much more beautiful and restful introduction to a new place than arriving at a busy airport.

As well as five-star accommodation and every possible amenity including fine restaurants, entertainment and health clubs, many of our Escapes by BFP cruises also offer something extra, like wonderful speakers or classes on board. We believe that travelling on the ship should be just as pleasurable as the many wonderful activities you’ll enjoy on land.

Our team has formed cruise partnerships with the finest ships and operators that share our devotion to service and exceptional quality.

Whatever you’re looking for from your perfect luxury voyage and wherever you would like to go, the Escapes by BFP team can plan you the ultimate sumptuous trip.

Escapes by BFP recommendations

Cruising is a year-round activity, but different parts of the world are at their most beautiful at different times of the year, so it’s important to think about what you want to see and do ahead of booking your cruise.

Certain parts of the world are only accessible by boat at certain times, particularly the poles, where sea ice and severe weather make cruising possible only in some months of the year.

Our team of experts can advise you on the best times to visit various parts of the world by boat to ensure that you have a wonderful time on your cruise and the opportunity to see everything you want to.

Best time of year to visit Cruise

December to February

High summer in Antarctica is a great time to see penguins and seals. The long days allow plenty of light for spotting the stunning wildlife which calls Antarctica home. Penguin chicks are born in the summertime, so this is a great time to spot these beautiful creatures. February is a good time to visit the Galapagos, where marine iguanas are at their most colourful for mating season.

March to May

April sees turtle eggs hatching in the Galapagos, making this a great time to experience an unforgettable natural wonder. May marks the beginning of Brazil’s dry season, making it a good time to visit. Egypt is at its best in May, as while the weather is warm, temperatures have yet to climb too high. This makes it a great time for exploring cities and monuments via a cruise up the Nile.

June to August

It’s summertime in the Arctic and a wonderful time to see polar bears, hungry from winter, hunting seals out on the ice. July and August see humpbacks and even blue whales visiting the Arctic waters. This is the best time of year for cruising through Europe, especially for island hopping in Greece or off the coast of Portugal. In Costa Rica, whales and turtles can be seen all along the coast through July and August and this is a wonderful time of year to go snorkeling or diving with these incredible sea creatures.

September to November

Autumn in Europe is a lovely time to visit as the weather cools slightly and the crowds disperse. Sail into the Bay of Kotor and explore this beautiful part of Montenegro. Heavy rains have eased across much of India, making this a wonderful time to sail up the Ganges and view this amazingly colourful country from the water.
