Cruising has come a long way since formal dress codes and buffet queues. These days it’s all about wine tastings, glacier views and not touching your suitcase for 12 days straight. Yes please.

Whether you’re new to cruising or already hooked, we’re here to show you some of the best cruise destinations. If you’re eyeing up a big holiday, trust us, you’ll need to book early so you aren’t stuck with the cabins everyone else passed on.

We’ll let you in on the voyages our Revesby clients are locking in now. They’re snapping up balcony cabins on the best cruise lines faster than you can say ‘earlybird bonus’.

1. Sip Back and Relax: European River Cruising

Slow-paced, wine-filled and postcard-pretty, European river cruises are basically a long lunch on water… with castles. Drift past vineyard hills, medieval towns and cobblestone streets on the Danube, Rhine or Rhône, glass in hand and views for days.

Scenic is our go-to for river cruising royalty. They’re one of the best river cruise lines for a reason. Think butler service, e-bikes, free-flowing bubbles and all the sightseeing sorted. Want flights included? Just ask us how.

2. A Cruise with a Cherry (Blossom) on Top?

Cruising Japan is like stitching together your own highlight reel. Visit Tokyo, Kyoto, Hiroshima and hidden island gems without battling the maze of train platforms or losing your cool in peak-hour crowds. One cabin, many wow moments.

We recommend Princess Cruises for their shore tours that go way beyond the basics. Add sushi classes and zen-garden levels of onboard calm. Whether it’s cherry blossoms or autumn lanterns, your phone’s photo album will thank you.

3. Alaska and You Shall Receive

Want nature to blow your thermals off? Alaska delivers. Picture glacier calving, whale tail flicking and bear spotting right from your balcony. It is one of the best cruise destinations for pure, unscripted wonder.

Holland America Line nails it with access to Glacier Bay, wildlife experts onboard and verandahs made for jaw-dropping views. Imagine sipping coffee while an iceberg cruises past. You don’t get that on a coach tour.

4. Fjord the Win: Norway’s Scenic Secret

Norway’s fjords are the kind of place that makes you whisper wow without even meaning to. Waterfalls tumble down sheer cliffs, tiny villages hug the shoreline and the quiet is something else.

Azamara does fjords with flair. Their smaller ships slip into the kind of tucked-away ports the big guys sail straight past. You’ll get longer in each spot too, which means time for twilight strolls, seafood dinners and zero frantic sprints back to the ship. It’s small ship cruising with big holiday energy.
