All Inclusive Cruises 2028 from the UK

All inclusive sailings departing from the UK in 2028 cover a wide sweep of destinations — Norwegian fjords, British Isles coastlines, the western Mediterranean, transatlantic crossings and more. Durations run from 5 nights up to 70, with a median of 11, so there is a length to fit a fortnight’s leave or a longer adventure. Southampton leads as the main departure point, though Portsmouth, Dover and Leith (Edinburgh) also feature. Prices start from £244 pp*.

Where Can I Go on an All Inclusive Cruise from the UK in 2028?

The mix of destinations available on all inclusive sailings from the UK in 2028 is genuinely varied. Norway draws the largest concentration of itineraries, followed by sailings around England and the broader British Isles, with further options heading south to the western Mediterranean and Portugal, or west on transatlantic crossings. Here is how the sailing map breaks down.

Norway and the Norwegian Fjords

Norway is where the greatest share of 2028 all inclusive sailings from the UK are pointed, and it is easy to see why these itineraries sell well. Most depart Southampton and head north along the Norwegian coast, with one-way sailings typically ending in Reykjavik or Copenhagen. If your sailing ends in a foreign port, you will need a flight home — our team can book that alongside hotels and transfers so the return leg is as sorted as the outbound one. For those who prefer a round trip, there are round-trip departures from Southampton too, meaning you can board and disembark at the same port with no flight required.

If you want to focus specifically on Norway from the UK, or narrow it down to Norwegian fjords sailings, both have dedicated pages. There are also tailored Norway 2028 sailings from Southampton if you have already settled on that departure port.

Round Britain and the British Isles

A significant share of 2028 all inclusive departures stay closer to home, exploring England, the British Isles and the wider United Kingdom coastline, including Scotland. These itineraries are among the most practical for UK travellers — you can reach Southampton, Dover or Portsmouth by road or rail, board, and be at sea the same afternoon without a flight at either end. For a broader look at British Isles cruises from the UK, or specifically British Isles sailings in 2028, both pages cover the territory in more detail. Value-focused British Isles options are also available if budget is the priority.

The Western Mediterranean and Portugal

For those looking south, there are western Mediterranean sailings and itineraries calling at Portugal, with some ending in Lisbon. A one-way sailing finishing in Lisbon or a Mediterranean port means a flight home is needed — something Cruise1st can arrange alongside any pre- or post-cruise hotel nights. The Mediterranean cruises 2028 page and the Mediterranean 2028 from the UK page give a fuller picture of what is sailing. There is also a small number of sailings to the Canary Islands, covered in more detail on the Canary Islands 2028 cruises page.

Transatlantic Crossings and the Arctic

A smaller but distinctive group of sailings heads further afield — either on transatlantic crossings or into Arctic waters. Transatlantic sailings from the UK are almost always one-way, ending at a port on another continent, so factor in a return flight when you are budgeting. Our team can put the whole trip together as one booking. For more, see the transatlantic 2028 cruises page.

Which Cruise Lines Offer All Inclusive Sailings from the UK in 2028?

Six cruise lines lead the all inclusive programme from the UK in 2028. Norwegian Cruise Line has the highest number of sailings, followed closely by Explora Journeys and Seabourn. Celebrity Cruises and MSC Cruises each have a strong presence, as does Regent Seven Seas Cruises. The lines span a wide spectrum from contemporary to ultra-luxury, and what is included in the fare varies considerably between them — more on that in the fare inclusions section below.

If you have already settled on a line, the dedicated 2028 pages for Norwegian Cruise Line, Celebrity 2028 from Southampton, and MSC Cruises 2028 each go into more depth.

Which Ships Are Sailing?

Several well-regarded ships make up the all inclusive fleet departing the UK in 2028. Below are the ships for which we hold detailed information.

Celebrity Beyond — Celebrity Cruises

Celebrity Beyond is the most spacious ship in Celebrity’s Edge Class, and it shows in how the public spaces feel. Open decks are generous, the float pools offer open-water views that feel more like a private terrace than a ship feature, and the interior design leans into natural light throughout. The Celebrity Beyond cabin grades and deck plans cover everything from the entry-level Deluxe Inside (18.8 m², sleeping 2) through to the Iconic Suite — at 239.8 m² and with 360° panoramic views high above the bridge, it is the largest suite in the entire Celebrity fleet and sleeps up to 6. If a balcony is what you are after, the Sunset Veranda Stateroom has 8.3 m² of outdoor space, more than twice what a standard veranda provides.

• Deluxe Inside DI — 18.8 m², sleeps 2. The most spacious inside cabin in the grade, around 2 m² larger than standard inside cabins.
• Deluxe Ocean-view DO — 22.1 m², sleeps 1. Largest ocean-view cabin available, around 3.5 m² more than standard ocean-view grades.
• Sunset Veranda SV — 21.2 m² plus 8.3 m² balcony, sleeps 2. More than twice the outdoor space of a standard veranda.
• Iconic Suite IC — 239.8 m², sleeps 6. The flagship suite of the entire Celebrity fleet, with 360° panoramic views.

Celebrity Beyond sails 15 all inclusive departures from the UK in 2028. See all Celebrity 2028 sailings from Southampton for the full schedule.

Norwegian Star — Norwegian Cruise Line

Norwegian Star is one of NCL’s most characterful ships, and its standout feature is hard to miss: the Garden Villas, which at 621 m² of living space with 413 m² of private garden are among the largest accommodations at sea. They sleep up to 7 and include their own pool and sun deck — a genuinely private retreat on board. For something more accessible, the Norwegian Star cabin and deck plans show the full range.

• Family Inside I4 — 13.2 m², sleeps 4. Upper-deck positions mean shorter walks to the pool and recreational areas.
• Ocean-view O4 — 14.8 m², sleeps 4. Large picture window with an unobstructed sea view.
• Club Balcony Suite MA — 26.3 m², sleeps 2. Private balcony with direct access to fresh sea air.
• Garden Villa S1 — 621.9 m² of living space plus 413 m² of garden, sleeps 7. NCL’s most distinctive luxury, more than seven times the size of a Penthouse Suite.

On board, the Mandara Spa includes a thermal suite and therapy pool, the adults-only Spice H2O deck has 6 hot tubs and a cocktail bar, and Freestyle Dining means you eat when and where you like across a steakhouse, a French restaurant, a sushi bar and a Brazilian churrascaria — no fixed sittings, no dress code. Norwegian Star runs 15 all inclusive departures from the UK in 2028. The full Norwegian Cruise Line 2028 programme is also worth a look if you want to see the wider NCL schedule.

MSC Meraviglia — MSC Cruises

MSC Meraviglia is built around its Galleria — a 96-metre LED sky promenade that runs the length of the ship’s interior and serves as the social hub, lined with boutiques, restaurants and nightly entertainment. The Polar Aquapark, a full-sized bowling alley and Formula 1 simulators keep different ages occupied, while the MSC Yacht Club offers a ship-within-a-ship experience for those who want a quieter, more exclusive environment. Check the MSC Meraviglia cabin grades and deck plans for the full layout. MSC Meraviglia runs 14 all inclusive departures from the UK in 2028. For the broader MSC programme, see the MSC Cruises page.

Seabourn Quest — Seabourn

Seabourn Quest carries just 450 guests, and every one of them is in a suite with a private balcony, butler service, and complimentary fine wines and spirits throughout. The crew-to-guest ratio is close to 1:1, which means attentive, personal service that larger ships simply cannot replicate. The Seabourn Square, at the heart of the ship, replaces the usual cruise desk with an open café-style lounge — a small detail, but one that shapes how relaxed the whole experience feels. View the Seabourn Quest cabin and deck plans for suite categories and layouts. Seabourn Quest runs 11 all inclusive departures from the UK in 2028.

Two further Seabourn vessels also sail this programme. Seabourn Venture is another small-ship option — see the Seabourn Venture cabin and deck plans for details.

Azamara Journey — Azamara

Azamara Journey carries 694 guests, which is small enough to access boutique harbours that larger ships pass by entirely. Long port stays are a feature of the Azamara proposition — you spend more time ashore and less time sailing past what you came to see. Specialty restaurants Prime C and Aqualina are included in the fare at no extra charge, and Complimentary AzAmazing Evenings — exclusive private cultural events ashore, from vineyard dinners to private concert performances — are part of what makes Azamara distinctive rather than simply small. The Azamara Journey cabin grades and deck plans give the full picture on accommodation. For Azamara sailings more broadly, the cruise line page covers the wider fleet, including Azamara Quest (see also Azamara Quest cabin and deck plans). Azamara Journey runs 7 all inclusive departures from the UK in 2028.

Explora Journeys also has a strong presence in this programme. The Explora Journeys fleet includes EXPLORA IV, whose Owner’s Residence offers 183 m² of living space and 132 m² of terrace — more than 3 times the space of its Grand Penthouse Suite. Regent Seven Seas Cruises (Regent Seven Seas) rounds out the luxury end, with Seven Seas Mariner among the ships sailing — see the Seven Seas Mariner cabin and deck plans for suite categories. Norwegian Getaway also appears in the NCL schedule — Norwegian Getaway cabin and deck plans are available if you want to compare grades.
