Fred Olsen has unveiled a brand new cruise programme for 2025/2026 from Southampton that will visit "far-flung gems" across the world.
There will be "opportunities to explore festive markets in Europe, search for the Northern Lights and experience local events such as the Rio Carnival."
Additionally, there will be visits to "far-flung gems in the Caribbean, South America, Africa and Australia".
Some destinations will not require as far to travel, including the Mediterranean, Norway and Iceland.
Fred Olsen guests have a chance to win £1,000 off their cruise
Alongside the unveiling of their new programme, Fred Olsen is also giving customers a chance to win some money off their cruise.
In a statement, they said: "To celebrate the launch, guests who book a cruise from the new 2025/26 Worldwide programme between 5th and 12th March 2024, have the chance to win up to £1,000 off a cruise of their choice.
"Five runners up will also win a £200 voucher to use towards a future cruise booking."
The prizes will be drawn on March 19, and the prize winners will be notified via email.

Martin Lister, Head of Itinerary Planning and Destination Experiences at Fred Olsen Cruise Lines, said: “This has been a phenomenal programme for our team of Journey Planners to curate, as it will see our fleet of smaller-sized ships visit all seven continents of the world.
“Guests who join us on board in 2025 and 2026 can expect to see some breathtaking scenery including eye-catching fjord mountains, dramatic coastlines, icebergs, remote islands and beautiful bays.
“They can visit captivating cities, fairytale castles and charming old towns packed with ornate and striking architecture and experience natural phenomena such as the Northern Lights, the Midnight Sun, stunning sunsets and flowers in bloom at the very best time to see them."
