Why queue for a flight when you could walk up the gangway instead? A no-fly cruise from the UK puts you at sea in hours: no baggage restrictions, no airport queues, no 4am alarm calls. Whether you're setting off from Southampton, Dover, Liverpool or Newcastle, the UK's four major cruise ports collectively serve hundreds of routes and thousands of sailings each year, with destinations spanning the Norwegian Fjords, the Mediterranean, the Canary Islands, the Baltic and the Caribbean.
