Welcome to Cruise Kings: Cheap Cruises & Exclusive Online Cruise Deals

The number of cruises sailing from and returning to the UK has grown significantly in recent years due to increases by the UK based cruise lines and the introduction of UK-based itineraries by American cruise lines. Cruising from the UK is now more convenient, accessible and enjoyable than ever before - and the range of itineraries on offer is wide. You can now cruise from a close-to-home port and visit the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, Northern Europe and the Baltic or the Atlantic Islands. You can even embark on a three-month world cruise, venturing as far as Australia and the South Pacific before returning home.

Cruising from the UK is popular because it removes the risks of flying post 9/11 and the hassle of possible flight delays and lugging your bags through busy airports. You can simply drive to the port, climb aboard and start enjoying your holiday right away. You can also shop as much as you like (customs aside) and no excess baggage charges on the way home. Best of all, you can end your cruise on a high note, facing nothing more taxing than a bus, car or train journey home.

Facilities have also been improved at many UK ports with Dover and Harwich building new cruise terminals.

 

We offer only one note of caution - cruising from the UK can involve several days at sea before reaching your target cruising area and means sailing across the Bay of Biscay or North Sea, both of which can be rough our times. If you are at all concerned motion sickness then check the cruise itinerary and read our tip "Worried about seasickness" under Choosing Your Ship.
