Fjords, Med, river vs ocean. Search Cruise Critic with the destination filled in — this week that is Norway.

This week’s note · Checked 19 Sep 2026

Three trips we’d actually take

LunaGatwick → Lisbon, 12–16 Nov, from £349. TAP’s autumn window before half-term inflates it.IslaSouthampton fjords, 3–11 Oct, from £799. A balcony at last year’s inside price.RodneyLisbon to Lagos on the N125, not the motorway. The Atlantic does the work.

Editorial from-prices, not a live quote. Open the helper and check the fare still stands. We don’t take the booking.

Isla’s cruise search

Opens Cruise Critic’s live Find a Cruise page. Type a region she knows (fjords, Med, Caribbean, Alaska…) and the destination is already filled in. Leave the box blank for the full Cruise To explorer. If you book through a link we open, we may earn a fee. It doesn’t change the price. We don’t take the booking.
