Your Guide to Cruising from Southampton

Southampton has been Britain's gateway to the world's oceans for centuries. Today it's the UK's busiest cruise port, handling over 2 million passengers annually across four modern terminals. The biggest draw? No-fly cruising — you can board your ship without the stress, expense, and carbon footprint of air travel.

Mediterranean Voyages

14-night Mediterranean sailings from Southampton typically call at Gibraltar, Barcelona, Marseille, Rome, and Naples. The two-day sea voyage through the Bay of Biscay adds to the authentic cruising experience, and many passengers prefer this gentle start over a hectic airport transfer.

Norwegian Fjords

Southampton is the ideal departure point for Norwegian Fjords cruises. 7-night itineraries sail to Bergen, Flåm, Geiranger, and Ålesund, passing through some of the world's most dramatic landscapes. The short North Sea crossing means you maximise time in the fjords.

Canary Islands & Transatlantic

For winter sun, Canary Islands cruises of 10-14 nights offer guaranteed warmth. Transatlantic crossings to New York on Cunard's Queen Mary 2 remain one of ocean travel's iconic experiences. Compare deals on TravelDealForge and protect your trip with travel insurance.
