Not decided on whether you want a bit of sun or to see something incredible? Want both? Or do you just want an experience of a lifetime? That’s not too much to ask for now, is it?

These three voyages are for those who are prepared to think a little outside the box. For those that have the time, money and inclination, some cruise lines offer up segments of a world cruise – just in case you aren’t able to commit to over 100-days at sea.

Following on from the publication of Cruise Adviser’s Ex-UK 2015 guide, we would like to introduce our new weekly Three for Tuesday feature, which gives you three cruise options to choose from. This week it’s ex-UK trips for solo cruisers who say ‘just surprise me’.

Crystal Cruises pairs a voyage with calls at Cornwall, Waterford, Liverpool, Dublin, Belfast and Heimaey with a call to the capital of Iceland, Reykjavik. Certainly not your typical sailing, this voyage has
that little bit extra to make it something really worth talking about.

The Mediterranean

This summer sailing onboard All Leisure Group’s Minerva is something a little special.

Titled ‘Grand Island Vistas’ the ship departs Portsmouth and heads south to Rome. En route the cruise will call at Guernsey, La Coruna, Malaga, Tangier, Sardinia, Nice, Livorno, among many destinations.

And, with the ship benefiting from single occupancy accommodation, you will have even more reason to love it.
