No Fly Cruises FAQ's

  • What is a no-fly cruise?

    A no-fly cruise is a cruise holiday where you travel directly to the port from home, with no flights involved. In the UK, you board your ship at a home port such as Southampton, Dover, Liverpool or Newcastle and sail directly to your destination. No airports, no baggage restrictions, no long-haul journey before your holiday begins.

  • Which UK ports offer no-fly cruises?

    The four main UK no-fly cruise departure ports are Southampton, Dover, Liverpool (Pier Head) and Newcastle (Port of Tyne). Southampton offers the widest choice of cruise lines and itineraries, while Dover is popular for Mediterranean and Northern European routes. Liverpool and Newcastle serve the north of England with strong Fred Olsen and Ambassador programmes.

  • Which cruise lines offer no-fly cruises from the UK?

    P&O, MSC, Cunard, Princess, Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, Fred Olsen, Ambassador, Saga and Marella all offer no-fly cruises departing directly from UK ports in 2026 and 2027. P&O, MSC and Cunard have the most consistent programmes from Southampton, while Fred Olsen and Ambassador are the strongest options from Liverpool and Newcastle.

  • Where can no-fly cruises from the UK go?

    No-fly cruises from the UK reach the Norwegian Fjords, Canary Islands, Mediterranean, Baltic capitals, British Isles, Iceland, Azores, Madeira, Caribbean and transatlantic routes to New York and Florida. Southampton in particular has direct routes to virtually every major cruise destination without a flight.

  • How much do no-fly cruises from the UK cost?

    No-fly cruises from the UK start from around £299 per person for a short 3 to 5 night sailing. A 7-night Mediterranean cruise typically starts from £499pp, while longer voyages of 14 nights or more start from around £799pp. All Cruise Nation prices include no booking fee and full ABTA & ATOL protection.

  • Are no-fly cruises cheaper than fly-cruises?

    Often, yes. No-fly cruises remove the cost of flights, airport transfers, airport parking and checked baggage fees, which can add hundreds of pounds to a fly-cruise. You also avoid the stress and time cost of airports. For UK travellers within 2 to 3 hours of a major cruise port, no-fly cruises frequently offer better value for the same itinerary.
