Where can you sail from the UK?

There are many places you can reach from the UK, from the Mediterranean and Northern Europe to the far-flung exotics of Asia and the South Pacific.

The UK offers many departures throughout the year, meaning you aren't limited to certain months of the year for your family cruise. However, as you are likely to be travelling with children you will probably be seeking out sailings during the school holidays. Many destinations are on offer at this time and are often at their hottest when you're cruising, making days at sea and in port warm and welcoming.

Book your family cruise from the UK

Take a look at our latest UK sailings below, each of which is on a family-friendly cruise ship so you know that you're little ones will be well cared for and entertained.

If you have any questions about family cruising, or would like to make a booking - call our Cruise Concierge team on 0808 239 2311 for expert advice and award-winning customer service.
