But where are the best cruise destinations to visit? Our Kenwood Travel Experts share their recommendations for every type of traveller.

Futuristic skylines, epic shopping malls, and an expanse of sprawling, golden desert – the U.A.E is truly a holiday playground. Cruising is one of the most unique and captivating ways to explore this Emirati nation, with the ships just as impressive, modern, and luxurious as the destination itself.

Why visit just one island when you can discover four instead? From active volcanoes to laidback beaches, freshwater lakes to colourful reefs, each of Hawaii’s islands offers something different. It’s the perfect choice for the wayfarer who wants to be wowed on the daily.

4. Indonesia

Best for: Cultural experiences

Cruising in Indonesia is truly a voyage of discovery. Wander around Bali’s beautifully sculpted rice terraces, discover Java’s time-worn temples, and get up close and personal with the endangered Komodo dragon in Komodo National Park, this archipelago certainly isn’t short of ways to enchant.

5. Alaska

Best for: Nature lovers

If we could sum up Alaska in three words, we would choose wilderness, wildlife, and wonder. Its glacier-studded waters are the stage for breaching humpback whales, and the snow-capped mountain skyline is the perfect backdrop for soaring bald eagles. Truly a feast for the eyes whether you’re docked or sailing.
