Mini Cruises from the UK

Where can I sail from?

No matter where in the British Isles you live, you'll find there is always a departure port not too far from you:

• Southampton is Britain’s busiest cruise ship port, it will come as no surprise that it hosts the widest selection of mini cruises from the UK
• London Tilbury is another southern port offering mini-cruise departures to a range of destinations
• Further north, Liverpool is another popular port which offers mini cruises from the UK
• For anyone in the North-East, Newcastle offers the best choice to enjoy a short cruise.

Cruises do depart from ports near Edinburgh and Glasgow but options for mini cruises are currently limited.

Destinations to reach on a mini cruise from the UK

From Newcastle, you can enjoy a mini cruise to Norway and maybe even see the northern lights! Or you could venture to western Europe for a short voyage to Bruges, Amsterdam and Rotterdam in just five-nights.

December is a popular month for UK mini cruises as many cruisers explore the festivities of Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and more for a quick Christmas cruise. New Year mini cruises from the UK are also popular, with cruise lines such as P&O Cruises offering a few options.

Can I get away for the weekend?

Yes! Mini cruises over a weekend are great for anyone who has limited time to take from work. Pick dates over a bank holiday weekend and you might need even less time off.
