12 of the best UK cruises

Discover destinations closer to home and avoid the airport queues with a uk cruise holiday.

A UK cruise provides a very different perspective of the place you call home. With no long journeys or baggage restrictions, it’s a hassle-free way to travel and cruises depart from a variety of ports around the country. On a week-long ocean cruise you’ll cover much greater distances and see more than you would on a land-based journey — with the added bonus of only having to pack and unpack once. Cruise companies provide a wide variety of sailings to different parts of the British Isles, including the Orkneys, Hebrides, Scilly and Channel Islands. Here are 12 of the best UK cruises to choose from.

Main photo: the harbour of Portree on the Isle of Skye (Alamy)

Best for sailing in style From the institution of afternoon tea served by white-gloved waiters to dancing in the glamorous ballroom, savour everything Cunard is famous for on a four-night scenic cruise to Scotland without touching shore. Depart from Southampton aboard the luxury Queen Victoria, which hugs the coastline before entering the 18-mile Sound of Mull. Look out for golden eagles as you pass the landmark Rubha nan Gall lighthouse and Duart Castle perched on the clifftop.

2. Royal Caribbean

Best for short breaks If you fancy a weekend getaway at sea this two-night cruise to and from Southampton is the way to go. You’ll nip across the Channel to Le Havre where you can head to the beach, explore the MuMa museum of modern art or reach Paris in two hours. Or stay on board and enjoy the fun-filled Anthem of the Seas where the raft of exciting attractions include a skydiving simulator, dodgem cars and the North Star, the highest observation platform at sea.

3. MSC Cruises

Best for family fun Sail into one of the world’s biggest natural harbours at Cork on a four-night round-trip sailing from Southampton to Ireland on MSC Virtuosa, one of the biggest cruise ships in the MSC fleet. Cork’s maritime history, which includes the Titanic making its last stop before its ill-fated voyage, can be explored at the dramatic Queenstown Story at Cobh Heritage Centre. Next stop is the Isle of Portland, the southernmost point of Dorset with the 18-mile sweep of Chesil beach.

4. Princess Cruises

Best for number of ports Circumnavigate the whole of the UK on this 11-night itinerary that features nine ports of call including Dublin , Belfast , Glasgow , Edinburgh and Newcastle . Sailing to and from Southampton on Emerald Princess, you’ll also head across to the Channel Islands with a stop at Guernsey , where there’s a garden celebrating the life of its famous resident, Les Misérables author Victor Hugo. Before returning home the ship nips across to Le Havre with the chance for a day in Paris .

5. Oceania Cruises

Best for exploring islands Discover the mainland and more on this 20-night sailing from Southampton to Dublin aboard Oceania Sirena. Enjoy a taste of the Scottish Highlands on the Shetland Isles before cruising to the Orkneys to see the enigmatic standing stones of Stenness and 5,000-year-old village of Skara Brae. After sailing around Ireland, with seven ports of call, Sirena crosses the Irish Sea to the Isle of Man where quirky transport options include the longest narrow-gauge steam railway in the British Isles.

6. Fred. Olsen

Best for wildlife spotting Representatives from the marine charity Orca will join this five-night sailing around Ireland aboard Borealis and they’ll keep a lookout to help maximise wildlife spotting opportunities; passengers can also learn about Orca and play a part in assisting with conservation work. The ship will cruise through the rugged landscapes of Lough Swilly and Tory Island, the most remote inhabited land in Ireland. The round-trip Liverpool sailing also brings the chance to see the dramatic Unesco-listed Giant’s Causeway near Belfast.

7. P&O Cruises

Best for off-the-beaten-track ports Showcasing a mix of famous sights and lesser-known destinations, this 14-night round-trip Southampton sailing is on the adults-only Arcadia. You’ll sail to Killybegs in Donegal, Ireland’s largest fishing port, and visit the factory of Donegal Carpets, whose rugs grace the White House and Buckingham Palace. Another fascinating stop is Holyhead, on the island of Anglesey off Wales, where you’ll soak up the views on a coastal walk or visit the Roman walls and 13th-century church.

8. Regent Seven Seas

Best for all-inclusive Sail the nation’s shorelines in ultimate comfort on this ten-night cruise from London to Belfast on Seven Seas Voyager, a line known for its luxury cruise holidays. Shore excursions, unlimited drinks, laundry service, wi-fi and tips are all included and the top suites come with butler service. Taking in England, Wales, Ireland and the Isle of Man, a Manx highlight is taking the Snaefell Mountain Railway to the summit. On fine days you can see six kingdoms; Scotland, England, Wales, Ireland, the Isle of Man and — the locals say — heaven.

9. Noble Caledonia

Best for small-ship cruising Garden-lovers will be in their element on this six-night sailing along England’s south coast which also takes in the Channel Islands and Isles of Scilly . The round-trip Portsmouth itinerary is on the intimate 100-passenger Hebridean Sky. On Guernsey you can visit the subtropical gardens at Sausmarez Manor and in Cornwall Caerhays Castle is home to the magnificent National Magnolia Collection. You’ll also venture to the renowned Abbey Gardens on Tresco where more than 20,000 species from over 80 countries thrive in the island’s warm microclimate.

Best for adults With a focus on the history of the Celts, this 13-night round-trip Southampton cruise is aboard the line’s newest adult-only ship Spirit of Adventure. The itinerary explores the heritage of five of the six Celtic nations; Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Brittany and Cornwall.

About Cruises from the UK

With a greater choice of cruise lines, destinations and ships sailing from UK ports every year and some fantastic added value benefits, it's no wonder that more of us are choosing to cruise directly from the UK than ever before.

A cruise is the perfect holiday choice for those looking to avoid long flights and the hustle and bustle of airport travel, with departures available from a wide range of British ports including Southampton , Newcastle , Liverpool , Greenock and more. Free car parking and/or free coach travel is available on selected cruises from the UK - ask our Cruise Advisors for full details.

You can sail from UK ports to a variety of top destinations like the sunny Mediterranean , the Canary Islands , the beautiful Norwegian Fjords and the historic capitals of Scandinavia and the Baltic. For people who have the travel bug, there are longer sailings including transatlantic crossings and luxurious full world cruises.

Most cruises departing from British ports also come with additional benefits like regional coach transfers, car parking or incredible last-minute savings that are not to be missed. Call our cruise consultants today for more details on cruises sailing directly from the UK

Cruise Holidays

New horizons - and waking up to them - fresh vistas every time you pull back those curtains, and relaxing on some of the most exciting ships ever to sail the seven seas. We know what makes a cruise, and know every ship from top to bottom, stem to stern. We know the best ports to call at, and the best ways to combine a cruise trip with the perfect destination whether it's one, two or three! With two-thirds of this big, beautiful world covered in ocean, luxury, adventure, and even water slides aren’t limited to just dry land anymore.

Cruise Types

Whether this is your first cruise trip or your 21st, there’s a lot of open water out there to explore, and a lot of choice when it comes to destinations, resorts and the cruises themselves. We wouldn’t want you to feel overwhelmed when it comes to planning your time sailing the ocean blue, so we’re here to break down our cruise types for you.

Cruise and stay

Cruise & Stay holidays merge everything that rocks about cruise holidays with a fun-filled stay in an extraordinary place. Whether you want a blissful beach break or to stick around to explore a city, you can easily pair it with an epic cruise experience to keep your journey constantly fresh and vibrant. Party, relax and treat yourself onboard before getting up close and personal with a fantastic destination, all in one holiday.

Fly and cruise

Booking a fly and cruise option gets you to your holiday destination quicker than setting sail from a UK port, so you can reach those gorgeous Caribbean islands in a shorter space of time. Or maybe combine a cheeky stay on land (Florida, perhaps?) before hopping on board one of our favourite cruise lines. There's so many options we can help with to make your cruise holiday perfectly tailored to you.

Since we're part of the Virgin family, it's a no brainer we'll fly you with Virgin Atlantic to start your cruise.

Cruise from the UK

Don’t feel like flying? Want to avoid the hustle and bustle of the airport? We’ve got you covered with plenty of departures from ports in the UK, and you’ll still have the world at your fingertips. Sail around Europe for a taster (perfect for those who are new to cruising), or take the scenic route over the ocean as far as the Caribbean for cruise holidays that start as soon as you’re onboard.

Get your Vitamin Sea

Virgin Voyages

Cruise into the Caribbean or head to the Med on a unique Virgin Voyage, where the glamour of a boutique hotel on the ocean is blended with unmistakable Virgin style and service. Sophisticated, adults-only, and offering an unbelievable choice of dining, you'll enjoy a voyage that's unlike any other.

WHY CRUISE FROM THE UK?

Whether you are looking for a cheap deal on a cruise departing directly from Southampton, a  last-minute cruise  to the Caribbean or a mini-cruise from the UK to Northern Europe , you’ll be amazed at the great deals and wide range of destinations we offer on cruises from the UK.

With deals available on both cruises from the UK 2017 and cruises from the UK 2018, last-minute cruise goers and forward planners will easily find the perfect cheap cruise deal for their next dream holiday.

For many, flying is the least favourite part of their holiday. Whether it’s getting to the airport in the middle of the night, queueing for hours to get through security, expensive baggage fees or delays, airports can take the joy out of your vacation, before it has even begun.

With one of our cruises from the UK, you can forget about thestress and hassle of flying – with no baggage fees, flight delays or queues to worry about.

Departing directly from the UK’s most popular ports, including Southampton, Liverpool and Dundee, your relaxing holiday begins the moment you step onboard.

With hundreds of destinations and itineraries to choose from, you’ll be amazed at where our cruises from the UK can take you.

Cruise from the UK to wordwide destinations

If you think that cruising from the UK means missing out on exotic locations, our amazing range of worldwide cruises will quickly change your mind.

Whether it’s sailing across the Atlantic Ocean to New York,  Miami  or the Caribbean, or cruising to the sunny shores of the Mediterranean and the Canary Islands, we have a cruise from the UK to make every holiday dream come true.

With so many great locations to choose from, the hardest decision you’ll have to make is which slice of paradise to pick. From the Channel Islands to the Canaries, here are just a taster of our customers’ favourite cruise destinations to inspire your next cruise from the UK.

The Mediterranean

With one of our cheap deals on cruises from the UK to the Mediterranean, passengers have the chance to see the very best of this diverse region, at incredibly low prices. Leave the grey skies of Britain behind for guaranteed sunshine, delicious local delicacies and some of the best beaches in the world.

Many of the planet’s most famous sites can be found within the  Mediterranean’s top cities  – from the Vatican in Rome to the Acropolis in Greece – and with a cruise departing from directly from the UK, it couldn’t be easier to find yourself soaking up the history, art and culture of these incredible destinations.

If a relaxing beach break sounds more like your idea of the perfect holiday, our cruises from the UK to the Mediterranean also visit some of the region’s best beaches, known for their fine white sands, swaying palms and azure-blue seas. Spend your days snorkelling, water-skiing or simply sunbathing under the warm Mediterranean sun.

The Channel Islands

A charming mixture of French and British style, the picturesque Channel Islands are a world away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Situated off the Normandy Coast, the Channel Islands benefit from a warmer climate than the UK, and with cruises departing directly from Southampton to Guernsey and Jersey, you can enjoy the best of this beautiful part of the Europe on a mini-cruise from the UK.

With many of the Channel Island cruises stopping in Guernsey’s small capital of St Peter Port, you’ll have plenty of time to explore this cobbled town and the rest of the island.

For a slice of paradise just hours away from the UK, the neighbouring Channel Island of Herm – easily reached by a short ferry from Guernsey – has beaches to rival the Caribbean and a strict no-car policy for the most peaceful island getaway.

The Canary Islands

Cruise directly from the UK to the Canary Islands, one of Europe’s most popular holiday destinations. Comprising of seven main islands - Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, Tenerife, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro – as well as several smaller, uninhabited islands, the Canaries offer year-round sunshine, dramatic landscapes and beautiful black and white sand beaches.

Tenerife, one of the Canary Island’s most popular vacation spots, is known for its pristine white beaches and Brit-loved resorts, whilst neighbouring Lanzarote’s dramatic volcanic scenery and black sand make for a unique holiday location.

Fuerteventura – popular for wind and water sports – has endless white sand dunes and a rich marine life, but no matter which Canary Island becomes your favourite, you’ll be amazed at how much money you can save with one of our direct cruises from the UK.

The Caribbean

If long haul flights have put you off travelling to the Caribbean in the past, one of our great deals on cruises from the UK to the Caribbean could see you strolling along a powdery white beach, with a cocktail in hand, without setting foot in an airport.

Cruise Nation has a great selection of cheap last minute cruises and low cost deals on cruises to the Caribbean from the UK, with Transatlantic crossings to New York that continue on to the Caribbean or direct  sailings from Southampton  to the islands.

Whether you stop at Antigua, Dominica, Jamaica or Aruba, each island has its own style, flavour and rhythm, so no matter what your idea of paradise is, you’re guaranteed to find it on a luxury cruise to the Caribbean from the UK.

Student who fell overboard on cruise ship holiday sent tragic last text to wife

A student is believed to be dead after falling from a cruise ship into the North Sea .

Liam Jones, 23, was on board the MSC Euribia departing from Southampton to enjoy a seven-day holiday in Hamburg, France, Belgium and Amsterdam.

The social work student was last seen on 16 March by his sister after he messaged his wife Sophia Mcphee at home to say he felt sick message.

The passenger was confirmed missing by MSC and Hampshire Police started their investigation once the vessel returned to the UK on 23 March.

His devastated wife shared her devastation at the sudden loss of her partner.

The 20 year-old from Dundee told the Daily Record: “I feel so lost. He’s just … gone. I’m never going to see him again. I’m devastated.

“I have so many questions, and I’m not getting any answers to what’s happened.”

Ms Mcphee saw her partner for the last time on Thursday 14 March before he made his way from their home to Glasgow to meet his family and board the ship the following day.

“I was first contacted by his sister on Sunday. She said there had been an accident and Liam ‘wasn’t coming back’,” she said. “She then said she had seen CCTV and he’d gone overboard. I’ve not had any contact from anyone since.”

Police confirmed they are still investigating the disappearance.

A Hampshire Constabulary spokesman said: “Officers boarded the vessel on Friday 22 March following a report that a man had gone overboard.

“The man’s family are aware and police are investigating this on behalf of the coroner.”

A spokesman from MSC Cruises said: “A passenger on board MSC Euribia went overboard on March 16 as the ship was sailing to Hamburg. This was reported to the authorities.

“The police in Southampton boarded the vessel today and investigated on behalf of the coroner. We are deeply saddened by this news and our thoughts are with the family at this very difficult time.

“Out of respect for the family’s privacy, we will refrain from disclosing any additional information.”

Share this with

The final text sent by a Scottish tourist feared dead after falling overboard from a cruise ship has been revealed.

23-year-old Liam Jones was last seen on the deck of the MSC Euribia on March 16 as it set off from Southampton to Amsterdam in The Netherlands.

It’s now been revealed Liam messaged his wife Sophia Mcphee to say he was seasick that same day – and that was the last time his devastated wife heard from her.

Sophia told the  Daily Record that the last time she saw her husband was March 14 when he travelled from their home to Glasgow to meet his family.

She said: ‘I feel so lost. He’s just… gone. I’m never going to see him again. I’m devastated.

‘I have so many questions, and I’m not getting any answers to what’s happened.’

The cruise operator, MSC Cruises, has confirmed a passenger disappeared and police have since boarded the vessel after it returned to Britain.

The cruise, set to make pit stops in Germany, France and Belgium, was on its way to Hamburg when Liam texted Sophia.

She said Liam’s sister messaged her the following day, saying there had been an ‘accident’ and Liam ‘wasn’t coming back’.

CCTV footage, Liam’s sister told her, showed Liam going overboard.

‘I’ve not had contact from anyone else since,’ Sophia added.

According to its itinerary , the Euribia would have docked in Hamburg on March 27 before going to Rotterdam on Tuesday, Bruges on Wednesday and Le Harve on Thursday before arriving back in Southampton on Friday.

A spokesperson for MSC Cruises said: ‘A passenger on board MSC Euribia went overboard on 16 March as the ship was sailing to Hamburg.

‘This was reported to the authorities. The police in Southampton boarded the vessel on 22 March and investigated on behalf of the coroner.

‘We are deeply saddened by this news and our thoughts are with the family at this very difficult time. Out of respect for the family’s privacy, we will refrain from disclosing any additional information.’

Hampshire Constabulary added: ‘Officers boarded the vessel on Friday 22 March following a report that a man had gone overboard.

‘The man’s family are aware and police are investigating this on behalf of the coroner.’
