No Fly Cruises from the UK

A no fly cruise is a cruise holiday that departs directly from a UK port, meaning no flights are required. You travel to the port by car, train or coach and board the ship there. It is one of the easiest and most relaxed ways to start a cruise holiday.

The main UK cruise ports offering no fly departures include Southampton, Liverpool, Dover, Portsmouth, Tilbury, Newcastle and Greenock. Availability depends on cruise line and season, but there are options throughout the year. Our UK ports slider above shows all the departure points available from the UK.

Yes, most UK departure ports including Southampton, Liverpool, Dover and Portsmouth offer secure cruise port parking options close to the terminal. Many guests choose to drive, making no fly cruises even more convenient.

You can pre-book cruise port parking in advance or, if sailing from Southampton, consider a Southampton hotel and cruise parking package, which can often be a cost effective and stress free option for early departures.

One of the biggest advantages of a no fly cruise is luggage flexibility. Because you are not restricted by airline baggage limits, you can usually take more suitcases, formal wear and essentials without worrying about weight restrictions. Cruise lines still have practical limits for cabin storage, but in most cases you are far less restricted than if you were flying.

If you are driving to the port, this makes packing for longer cruises or special occasions much easier.
