Cruises

If it’s on the water, we can book it for you. Flight Centre offers a huge range of cruises, from ocean and river cruises to adventure expeditions and themed voyages. Take your pick from global lines like Norwegian Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean, Virgin Voyages, Celebrity Cruises and Princess Cruises, or more intimate river cruising companies, such as Regent and Avalon Waterways. 

Regardless of the cruise you’re after, we recommend working with an experienced Travel Expert to ensure you set sail with the right cabin, itinerary and inclusions. Luckily for you, Flight Centre’s team of cruising Experts can assist with everything, including finding the best cruise deals for your next holiday.

UK travellers have loads of cruising options right on their doorstep. Ships depart from major ports like Southampton, Dover, Liverpool and Newcastle to sun-soaked destinations like the Mediterranean, Canaries, Spain and Portugal. Alternatively, head north to experience the beauty of the Norwegian Fjords, quaint Scandinavian towns and the Baltic. 

If you prefer to stay local, check out itineraries that travel around England, Ireland, Scotland and the Scottish Highlands. Looking for something further afield? Our team of Travel Experts can assist with booking flights to the Caribbean, the Americas, Africa, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific, from which you can begin your cruising adventures.  

Of course! There are a wide variety of cruises that offer affordable packages for travellers from the UK. Keep your eyes peeled for travel during off-peak seasons, as well as deals that offer bonus room credit and discounts during sale periods. 

Absolutely! A cruise is perfect for a group holiday, work trip or to celebrate an important milestone. In fact, we have a specialist team of Group Travel Experts who can help wrangle all the travellers, sort out the nitty gritty details, and even organise extras like a special dinner or bottle of Champagne on arrival. 

Get in touch with Flight Centre’s Group Travel Experts online, or head in store and one of our agents will gladly assist with planning that epic group trip.

For dietary requirements, many ships have multiple restaurants with different menus that may meet your needs. Our Travel Experts can also put through specific requests and instructions before you leave.

Cruises are fantastic value because almost everything is included in the one price. As a rule of thumb, your cruise fare will include accommodation, all meals at select restaurants, onboard facilities like swimming pools and fitness centres, plus entertainment for the whole family. 

Beyond that, a few things can incur extra charges like specialty restaurants, drinks, spa treatments and some activities. Typically, Wi-Fi and tips are at an extra cost too. Specific inclusions may vary based on the cruise line, stateroom selection and package booked. Chat with your booking agent to confirm what’s included in your itinerary.  

A passport with at least six months’ validity from your return date is essential. Beyond that, visas, visa waivers, or an electronic travel authority (ETA) may be required depending on the cruise itinerary and the passport you’re travelling on.  
 
For up-to-date and accurate information on which countries UK travellers require visas or documentation for, please check the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office. Alternatively, contact the relevant embassy directly. 

Once onboard, you'll receive a daily schedule of activities. Usually, the schedule for the following day will be left in your cabin by staff when they clean the room. Many modern cruise ships also have onboard digital screens that will display the day’s events or a mobile app you can download to keep track. On some journeys, for example when sailing with Regent, you can make restaurant reservations several months in advance.

Our Help Centre has a host of FAQs about travel requirements, booking your cruise and plenty more information you might need before you set sail. If you can’t find what you’re after, simply give our team a call and we will happily point you in the right direction.
