With the market for cruises growing like never before, there are now a wide selection of cruises available departing from ports around the UK, and more and more passengers are taking advantage of the benefits of joining their cruise and sailing direct from the UK.
No flying
One of the many benefits of cruising from the UK is the fact that no flights are involved. No need for early morning check ins, no overnight return flights back to the UK, and most importantly no restrictions on the amount of baggage you are able to bring! You can simply join your ship on the afternoon of travel, and when returning you will wake up in your cabin on the morning of disembarkation feeling refreshed and ready for the journey home (just don't forget to take advantage of a final breakfast in the ship's restaurant to help get you started!)
Easy Connections
It is easier than ever to travel to your UK departure port, and whether you prefer to travel by rail, coach, or car, the facilities are there to make your journey to your departure port as effortless as possible. Most cruise companies are now able to offer regional coach connections or car parking at the cruise terminal as well.
Your holiday starts as soon as you arrive
Once you have checked in and boarded your cruise ship, you are free to do as you please - unwind with a coffee or light lunch in the ship's restaurant, or explore the ship and get to know the facilities on board. And what better way to start your holiday than by standing on deck with a cocktail as the ship departs - your family and friends can even wave goodbye from portside!
