Information About

Island Cruises




Formed in May 2000 in a strategic alliance between First Choice Holidays PLC and Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines , Island Cruises offer cruises to the European market.

Pioneers of casual cruising, Island Cruises offers an original approach that is “relaxed, friendly and informal”. Ad-lib dining, a relaxed dress code, a wide array of entertainment and innovative shore excursions characterise this cruise line, which was launched in 2002.
