Celebrity Xcel made its Mediterranean debut on Friday and it’s not doing things by halves. With seven brand-new spaces onboard and immersive experiences inspired by Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey and Morocco, your holiday starts the moment you step onboard.

Can you take alcohol onboard a cruise? The answer isn’t always straightforward. From wine allowances and corkage fees to cruise line rules that might surprise you, check what you can and can’t pack before you sail.

Kimberley and Janine have just returned from a 7-night sailing aboard the iconic Queen Mary 2, cruising the majestic Norwegian Fjords the legendary Cunard way.

They raved about effortless embarkation, thoughtful touches and service that made them feel special from day one. Days were spent soaking up the grandeur of the world’s last great ocean liner, with dramatic décor, gallery-worthy artwork and that perfect balance of formal glamour and relaxed comfort.

Evenings delivered standout dining: silver-service excellence in the Britannia Grill and vibrant, globe-spanning choices (plus tempting desserts) in Kings Court. Add beautifully turned-down beds, attentive cabin service and jaw-dropping fjord views..."It wasn’t just a cruise, it made two new Cunard converts."
