The best part of a cruise? It’s got to be waking up somewhere new (almost) every day. But what if you could spend more time exploring your fave destination on the same getaway? Enter a Cruise & Stay holiday. It’s all about combining your sailing with a stay in a handpicked hotel in top spots like Tenerife, Corfu and Barbados.

What’s a Cruise & Stay Holiday all about? 

Our Cruise & Stay holidays give you the best of both worlds. It’s all about extending your getaway and soaking up more of your favourite sunny spot. Enjoy a seven-night holiday on land before boarding the ship, or spend three, four, or seven nights in a hotel after your cruise. We’ll also sort all your transfers – to and from the ship, the hotel and the airport – so you can holiday hassle-free. Our TUI reps will be on hand throughout your holiday, and you can contact them on the Navigate app onboard and on the TUI app while at your hotel. So, if you're looking to lie undisturbed on a beach in Barbados or fancy discovering more of Dubrovnik's history, a Cruise & Stay holiday has you covered.
