Independence of the Seas

The sister to Liberty and Freedom of the Seas is now making her home in Southampton, and this summer she’s offering European, Mediterranean and Canaries itineraries before heading to the Caribbean for the winter. And it’s not just the destinations that are spectacular: if you’re a fitness fanatic there’s a top deck dedicated jogging lane or you can lift weights in a 12,000sq/ft fitness centre complete with its own 18sq/ft boxing ring. The current best offer on an interior state room for a ten night Mediterranean cruise visiting Gibraltar, Barcelona, Lisbon and Vigo in Spain is £999, while an ocean-view state room starts from £1,219. Prices are per person based on two people sharing. Click story headline to see image
