R12 Call now to book on 0800 023 1273 If you have never been on a river cruise, boy are you missing out. It’s a wonderful way to travel as you meet people, discover places and notch up experiences you never thought possible. A diff erent way to travel One of the fi rst things to know about river cruising is that it’s nothing like sailing the oceans. Sure the ships have pointy bits at the front, you unpack just once and you’re looked af er by fabulous staff , but that’s where the similarit es end. Ocean ships take you to places; river ships take you into them, passing picturesque towns and villages, medieval castles and vineyards that coat the landscape as far as the eye can see. All cabins are facing the river. Stay in one of Avalon Waterways’ panorama suites, with the bed facing the wall-to-wall window and you wake to a view every morning. Size mat ers River ships are small and friendly, holding just 150 to 200 passengers, but have a choice of places to eat as well as gyms and massage rooms. Emerald Cruises vessels have pools; Scenic’s have all-day cafés; AmaWaterways’ double-width AmaMagna has four restaurants including a mult -course Chef’s Table - an eatery found on all its vessels. Restaurants are complimentary and mostly open seat ng so you can sit where and with whom you choose. Such great value River cruise lines include so much that once the holiday is paid for, you rarely have to put your hand in your pocket. Scenic includes fl ights, transfers, shore excursions, the lot, likewise Uniworld, with TUI River Cruises also covering fl ights, transfers and more. Life on a river cruise Most days are split between calls into villages, towns or cit es and t me sailing, but expect whole days and overnights as the norm in iconic cit es such as Vienna. Excursions (mostly included) range from guided walks to winetast ng out ngs. Emerald and Avalon are among several lines big on the act ve front, with hiking and cycling tours most days. Back on board, the t me is yours to relax, read a book or catch up with friends. Before you know it, it’s t me for a talk about the following day, dinner, entertainment and a well-earned sleep before it all starts again. Choosing a cruise You can climb inside windmills, drink champagne with a princess, hike up mountains, cycle through vineyards and take your seat at exclusive Mozart and Strauss concerts on voyages from Amsterdam to Switzerland or all the way to the Black Sea. There are cruises that sail the wine-loving Moselle or lock-strewn Main Rivers, art and war-themed voyages in France, port-tast ngs in Portugal, and tulip-t me sailings in Holland. Venture further afi eld and you can be crawling through war tunnels and riding tuk-tuks on cruises along the Mekong in Vietnam and Cambodia, watching sunrise over temples on the Nile in Egypt or going on safari while sailing the Chobe River in Africa. In a nutshell, wherever you want to go and whatever you want to do, there is a river cruise to suit. Picking just one. Now that is the tricky bit!

THE OCEAN VIEW SPRING 2023 EDITION OVER 30 PAGES OF EXCITING TRAVEL IDEAS Alaska Cruise & Tour • Australia • Iceland • Canada & New England • Exot c Dubai & Middle East • Deep South USA • Northern Lights • Canary Islands and more, and our new ‘The River View’ magazine, PLUS a look at the excit ng entertainment opt ons available onboard by travel journalist Jane Archer Lit le Venice, Mykonos

Welcome to the Spring 2023 edit on of The Ocean View. I hope that this fi nds you safe and well. As I start to write this welcome page, I always look back at the last edit on of The Ocean View and every t me I do so, it never ceases to amaze me at how the landscape has evolved. The tradit onal ‘wave’ peak booking period that starts in December and runs into Spring has started off strongly; a posit ve sign considering that at tudes to travel were much more caut ous just 12 short months ago. There’s a cont nued sense that the desire to travel is well and truly back and demand for cruise holidays has never been stronger. The booking pat erns over the last couple of months have showed that many of you are ready to venture further afi eld. We’re also seeing a strong preference for upgrading your travel experience – that may mean booking a balcony cabin instead of your usual oceanview, select ng a premium economy or business class seat for your fl ight or choosing a more upscale cruise line for the enhanced space and service that they provide. We’ve never had such an abundance of choice available so the value of being able to speak to an expert team like ours who can help and advise has never been greater. The team have pulled together a great select on of just some of the incredible holidays we have on off er at the moment. Head to the Caribbean for an islandhopping adventure or to the majest c beauty of the Fjords. Take an epic ‘ocean to ocean’ journey through the Panama Canal or head north in search of the Northern Lights. Venture into the Alaskan wilderness or on a road trip through the Deep South of the USA. Where do you want to make memories? Talking of making memories, river cruising has experienced stratospheric growth over the past few years (COVID aside) and gained a reputat on for incredible service, great value and the ability to off er a highlyindividual experience that brings guests back year af er year. We now have a river cruise sect on on our site and you’ll fi nd ‘The River View’ on the reverse of this magazine – I hope you become as excited about this type of holiday as we are. Finally, a quick note about the pricing in this edit on. As has been the case for a few months, infl at on is causing widespread price fl uctuat ons and travel is not immune. The team work hard to ‘future-proof’ pricing as much as possible and we will always give you the best value (and the best service – check out our reviews on Google and Facebook!) we can. Please do bear with our team if increases imposed on us by our partners result in changes to prices printed here. Thank you so much for your custom and I hope you enjoy reading this edit on of The Ocean View.

www.cruise-circle.co.uk 3 Name: Beccy Cruise Circle Role: Market ng & Content Execut ve What’s your job role and what does a typical day look like? I am the market ng and content execut ve for Cruise Circle, so I am tasked with fi nding ways to get all our fantast c cruise products where you can see them. I look af er sending out several weekly emails, looking af er our social media channels, and updat ng content on the website, like new blogs and port informat on. A typical day for me is catching up with our market ng manager and product team to see what news and deciding what cruises our customers might like, and then I will create an email to promote it. I will reply to messages on social media and pass any enquiries to our cruise specialists. We also work on several projects; currently, I am looking af er a group of content creators we are working with to promote to the new-to-cruise market, so we’re planning a trip with a trade partner, Royal Caribbean, to do this. What do you love most about working in the cruise industry? I have been in the travel industry for many years but love cruise the most because it just opens up the sheer number of dest nat ons you can cover in one trip. Plus, I love that the ships are also dest nat ons - each brand has its character, and it’s fantast c to experience them. There is something for everyone. What’s been your most memorable cruise experience? This is hard! I am completely obsessed with Christmas, so even though I have gone on many unique ocean cruises, my most memorable cruise experience was on a river cruise. My husband and I did a Christmas markets cruise on the Rhine in early December. The Alsace region is gorgeous; lit le postcard towns like Riquewihr made me feel like I was on the Beauty and the Beast set, and we had a private choir singing Christmas carols to us in Baden-Baden, at the opulent Kurhaus. We had snow too, so being wrapped up, and sipping glühwein amongst the twinkling lights of the markets was magical. What and where are on your ‘next cruise’ list? I am next on Symphony of the Seas around the Mediterranean in June for work, but my list keeps growing; I can’t t ck them off fast enough! I would love to do Australia and New Zealand via a cruise. It would be the perfect way to t ck off lots of ports on one trip, plus there is less chance I will fi nd a giant spider wait ng for me in my room at the end of the day! When you’re not at work, what do you love doing? I have two boys, aged 6 and 8 and a dog called Daisy, so we like to take her out and about on walks, taking full advantage of our Nat onal Trust membership. We also love camping as a family when the weather allows it, and it’s always fun just heading off for a weekend. I also love to read and watch live music, comedy or theatre, I have a few events in my diary for the coming year that’ll keep me busy. If you could add one dream act vity or amenity to a cruise ship, what would it be? The cruise industry is so good; most already exist! I have been to some immersive dining/theatre experiences recently, maybe something like that? Faulty Towers was part cularly funny, and think that style would work well in a speciality restaurant. STAFF FOCUS As a family owned and run business, we’re except onally proud of our team, several of whom have been with us for many years. As many of you may have spoken to, but not met us in person, we thought you’d like to learn a lit le more about some of our dedicated team members.

It was art and technology coming together in perfect harmony courtesy of the Rock Revolut on show on Carnival Cruise Lines’ ship Carnival Panorama and absolutely brilliant. Entertainment on cruise ships tends to get a bad rap, but take your seat in the theatres on the big ships and you’ll be wowed - especially on the newest vessels - by the state-of-the-art techie stuff , performers and musicians that give the West End a run for its money. Arte, playing on Celebrity Cruises’ Celebrity Beyond, has a wall of LED screens on which works of art move and into which performers vanish. Holland America Line sets snippets from BBC Earth wildlife programmes, shown on a bank of LED screens, to a live playlist performed by musicians from New York’s Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. Princess Cruises’ Spotlight Bar, now playing on Discovery Princess, uses song and dance to tell the stories of the locals meet ng up for a bevvy or two. There are amazing acrobat cs on MSC Cruises’ shows, dance product ons choreographed by Strictly’s Anton du Beke on Ambassador Cruise Line sailings and ABBA nights on Azamara’s vessels that get the ships rocking. Cunard has signed up Australian circus company Circa for Queen Elizabeth’s 2023-24 season Down Under (as I see it, another good reason to hop on a Cunard cruise in Australia and New Zealand!). Sail with Norwegian Cruise Lines’ Norwegian Bliss and oh, what a night you’ll have watching the musical Jersey Boys. It costs upwards of £25 to see that in London; on NCL ships (and indeed all other vessels), the shows are free. Rest assured, there’s plenty to keep everyone entertained on ships before the curtain even lif s on the evening show. Fred Olsen Cruise Lines has in-depth lectures about the places being visited, alongside chartreading sessions with the offi cers. Wannabee chefs can roll up their sleeves and learn to cook on Oceania Cruises’ Marina and Riviera (and on new ship Vista, which launches in May) and P&O Cruises’ Britannia. And just look at all the fun-for-all-the-family entertainment that awaits on the high seas. An escape room on P&O’s new ship Arvia; go-karts and water slides that don’t so much propel you down a fl ume as drop you into the ride on NCL vessels; lego play areas and ropes courses on MSC ships where those with a head for heights harness up and walk over t ghtropes and swinging beams. Carnival’s new Mardi Gras and Celebrat on have roller-coasters and water slides that get you wet, wet wet. Not to be outdone, Royal Caribbean’s Icon of the Seas, launching in January 2024, has the largest water park and tallest water slide at sea, and a ropes course that sends passengers zipwiring along the side of the ship, more feet above the ocean than you want to think about. Phew! With all that going on you’ll need to go home for a holiday.
