You’ll be able to choose how you want to enjoy yourself and relax, not having to fit into someone else’s idea of a good time.

We don’t have set timings for dinner, there’s no standing on ceremony and no dress code.

Our Captain and crew

Wherever you go on holiday, it’s the people that make it special. The difference is, with Island Cruises you can count on our crew being amongst them. On board you won’t feel like you’re surrounded by anonymous staff in starched uniforms.

From the British Captains down, our crews have been chosen for their professionalism and natural ability to make you feel perfectly relaxed and at home.

They’re a vital part of making sure you get the most out of your holiday, so you’ll find them always ready to help. After all, a friendly atmosphere is at the heart of what our cruises are all about. In fact, you’re just as likely to find yourself having a chat with the Captain as any other crew member.
