Your Guide to No-Fly Cruises From The UK

Cruise Ship

If you’re craving an unforgettable holiday without the hassle of airports, flights and luggage restrictions then look no further than a luxury no-fly cruise setting sail from the UK.

With voyages all around the world, you can visit your dream destinations with ease. Step on board from one of the many ports in the UK, with Southampton being the most common place to begin and end your holiday. You’ll discover opulence, comfort, fine dining and world-class entertainment. With cruises suitable for families, couples, solo travellers and everything in between, you’ll find a completely carefree alternative to cruising from a destination port abroad or catching a flight for a far flung resort holiday.

What is a no-fly cruise?

A no-fly cruise is cruising made simple! With you departing from UK waters rather than flying out to a destination port, your holiday can begin immediately. You won’t need to worry about booking flights, the hassle of religiously weighing luggage to make sure you haven’t overpacked or the stress of getting anywhere three hours early. Instead, with a no-fly cruise, you can head to your local port and embark at your own pace, with no restrictions to make you anxious before your holiday. After enjoying blissful days onboard and visiting spectacular destinations, you’ll arrive back in the same port again with just the journey home to complete.

What are the benefits?

There are lots of benefits to a no-fly cruise, ensuring that your entire experience is fuss-free and sets you off on the right foot for your holiday. Most notably, you don’t have to worry about airports. That includes getting there early, going through security, delays, layovers and cancellations. You also won’t have to deal with long-haul flights or jet lag when you finally arrive. Many no-fly cruisers also love that there are no luggage restrictions, so put the scales away as you can bring as much as you want. Once you arrive at the port, your holiday can truly begin as your luggage will be taken on board for you and delivered to your cabin while you immediately start making use of the ship’s amenities. The beauty of a no-fly cruise is that you can completely relax from the very beginning until the very end of your cruise.

Where can I cruise to?

The world is your oyster with a no-fly cruise. Departing from the UK means you have access to almost everywhere, with European cruises being extremely popular. No-fly cruises make it easier than ever to explore the Canaries, immerse yourself in Mediterranean culture or take in the awe-inspiring sights of the Norwegian Fjords. The British Isles are waiting for you if you’re looking for a cruise closer to home, showcasing the hidden gems you never knew existed. You can also venture further afield, with destinations including the USA and Canada, the Caribbean, the United Arab Emirates, Australia and Asia. Want to see them all at once? No-fly cruises are also a great way to kick start a world cruise. Spend endless blissful days on board visiting a multitude of enchanting destinations across the globe, with all the benefits of a no-fly cruise at your fingertips.

Where can I cruise from?

With no-fly cruises increasingly growing in popularity, many UK ports now offer the option to cruise from them. The most commonly used port is Southampton, having been the main UK cruise port for years. If you want somewhere more local to you, you can also book departures from Portsmouth, Falmouth, Liverpool, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Tilbury, Dover, Glasgow and Belfast.

What can I expect on my ship?

No-fly cruises offer the same amenities and facilities as fly cruises. Onboard dining comes in a variety of options with a buffet, main dining rooms and speciality restaurants all available for you to choose from. There are many snack stations around the pool and deck areas as well as 24-hour eateries and room service. Lounges and cafés are open all day for your convenience and there are a number of bars, family-friendly and adult-only. Again, accommodation is the same across all liners regardless of if you choose a no-fly cruise or not. Depending on your fare, you’ll be able to relax in the luxury of an inside cabin, oceanview cabin, balcony cabin or a suite. A plethora of high-class amenities will be open to you as soon as you set foot on board, including swimming pools, spas, fitness centres, sports courts, cinemas and kids clubs if you’re booked on a family itinerary. You can expect showstopping entertainment every night, with live music, broadway performances, dancing, comedy shows and deck parties common on many cruise liners. You may also have access to a casino where you can test your luck on the blackjack and poker tables or the roulette wheel and slot machines. Daytimes promise quizzes, games on the deck and bingo, as well as a DJ and activities for kids.
