Our First Timers' Cruises are an exciting blend of discovery and relaxation. You'll have plenty of time to swim, saunter round the shops (in Copenhagen's famed Stroget for example, or Istanbul's Grand Bazaar) and soak up the local atmosphere in bars and restaurants ashore. You're also free to join us on included excursions to well-known and tucked-away sights, or to take off on your own.

To set the holiday mood, you can uncork the "welcome" bottle you'll find in your cabin and treat yourself with the �25 you'll find credited to your onboard account.
