Royal Caribbean has long been synonymous with ever-larger cruise ships pushing the limits of scale, innovation, and onboard spectacle. Yet in recent years, whispers have grown louder that the cruise line is developing something quite different — a class of smaller, more flexible ships, colloquially dubbed the Discovery Class (or “Project Discovery”).

While nothing is official yet, Royal Caribbean executives have dropped hints, leaks are surfacing on social media, and cruise fans are already speculating. Here’s a roundup of what we know (and don’t) about the rumoured Discovery Class.

Booking a cruise holiday to Antarctica is considered by most, a once in a lifetime experience. However, cruise and destinations vlogger Gary Bembridge, from Tips For Travellers, has just returned from his second cruise to the region!

We quizzed Gary about this unique cruise experience so we could share with you his experience and what you might need to consider or know before heading to Antarctica on a cruise.

Voyages To Antiquity is a unique cruise line operating just one small cruise ship, the Aegean Odyssey. The cruise line’s experience is designed for travellers who want to learn more about the history, culture and natural wonders of the ancient world.

The size of the ship is part of what makes cruising with Voyages To Antiquity so different. The ship is perfectly suited to visit places which larger ships cannot, therefore offering more destination-rich cruise itineraries.
