All Inclusive No Fly Cruises from Southampton 2028

Why All Inclusive No Fly Sailings from Southampton Make Sense in 2028

All inclusive cruises from Southampton remove the two biggest holiday headaches at once: there is no airport to navigate and no bar tab waiting for you at the end of the voyage. Sail all inclusive from Southampton in 2028 and your drinks, dining and key extras are woven into the fare from day one. Most of Britain can reach Southampton by road or rail, so the ship is genuinely accessible without a flight. For sailings that end abroad — Reykjavik, Copenhagen or New York, for example — you will need a flight home, and Cruise1st can book that too, along with any hotels either side and transfers, so the return leg is never left as a loose end.

Sailings range from 5 nights to 46 nights, with a median of 11 nights, so whether you want a long weekend extended into a proper break or a month-long voyage into northern waters, there is a length to suit. The full range of cruises from Southampton spans the globe; this page focuses specifically on all inclusive departures for 2028.

Where Do These Sailings Go?

The 2028 sailings cover a wide spread of destinations, from close-to-home British Isles itineraries to transatlantic crossings. Here is how the programme breaks down by direction.

Round Britain and the British Isles

A large share of the 2028 sailings head no further than the waters around Britain and Ireland — and that is no bad thing. British Isles itineraries are the ideal first all inclusive cruise: no time zones, no currency confusion, and you return to the same port you left. British Isles sailings in 2028 visit the coastlines of England and the wider United Kingdom, making them a practical choice for anyone who wants a genuine sea voyage without ever leaving British waters. These round-trip itineraries are the simplest no-fly option available — board at Southampton, return to Southampton, and the only transport you need is the drive or train journey down. For a broader look at cruises around the British Isles, that page covers the full range of lines and itineraries.

Northern Europe and the Norwegian Fjords

Norway is one of the two most popular destinations in the 2028 all inclusive programme from Southampton, with sailings heading north into the fjords and, for some itineraries, continuing into Arctic waters. Norway sailings from Southampton in 2028 suit anyone who wants dramatic scenery delivered without a connecting flight. Some of these are one-way voyages ending in Reykjavik, Stockholm or Copenhagen — if yours is one of them, you will need a return flight home, and our team can book that alongside the cruise as a single package. For a broader look at Norway cruises from the UK, that page covers departures from multiple ports and years.

Southern Europe and the Mediterranean

A smaller but appealing selection of sailings from Southampton heads south to the Western Mediterranean and Portugal, with a handful continuing to the Canary Islands. These are typically longer voyages — the Atlantic crossing from Southampton to the Mediterranean takes several days at sea, which suits passengers who enjoy the rhythm of a longer sailing. Mediterranean sailings in 2028 are popular across all departure ports, so if you want more options, that page brings together the full picture. Some of these itineraries are one-way, ending in ports such as Lisbon — check the itinerary shape before you book, and let us sort the homeward leg.

Transatlantic Crossings

A small number of 2028 sailings from Southampton make the full crossing to New York — classic ocean voyages that give you days at sea to unwind before arriving on the other side of the Atlantic. These are one-way itineraries, so a return flight from the United States is part of the plan. Cruise1st can book that flight, and any hotels either side, as part of a Cruise1st Package. If a transatlantic crossing appeals and you want to compare across lines, the transatlantic 2028 programme shows what else is sailing that year.

Which Cruise Lines Sail All Inclusive from Southampton in 2028?

Six cruise lines feature in the 2028 all inclusive programme from Southampton, covering a wide range of styles — from contemporary freestyle cruising to ultra-luxury all-suite ships. Here is what each brings to the table.

Norwegian Cruise Line

Norwegian Cruise Line leads the 2028 all inclusive Southampton programme by volume. NCL is known for Freestyle Dining — no fixed sittings, no dress codes, and a choice of restaurants that spans steakhouses, sushi bars, French dining and Brazilian churrascaria. Their all inclusive fare tiers, such as the Free at Sea package, bundle in premium beverages, a speciality dining package, Wi-Fi and shore excursion credits, so you know exactly what you are spending before you board. See the full Norwegian Cruise Line 2028 programme for the complete range of sailings.

Explora Journeys

Explora Journeys is one of the newest names in luxury ocean travel, and it brings a significant number of sailings to this page. The line positions itself as an ocean lifestyle brand, with spacious suites, unhurried itineraries and an all inclusive approach built into its fares by design. Fare options include packages that wrap in flights, private transfers and hotel stays — useful if you are combining the cruise with time ashore.

Celebrity Cruises

Celebrity Cruises brings a strong showing of sailings on Celebrity Beyond — one of the line’s largest and most stylish ships. Celebrity’s fare tiers range from a cruise-only rate through to The Retreat, which layers in premium drinks, premium Wi-Fi, suite accommodation and exclusive lounge and sundeck access. The best-value tier includes a classic drinks package and basic Wi-Fi in one price, which is a practical starting point for most travellers. For the full Celebrity 2028 Southampton schedule, see Celebrity 2028 cruises from Southampton.

MSC Cruises

MSC Cruises offers a broad range of sailings on MSC Meraviglia — a large ship with wide appeal. MSC’s all inclusive options cover drinks packages and dining upgrades, making it straightforward to tailor the fare to your budget. If you are considering MSC but want to look at fly-cruise options alongside the Southampton departures, the MSC fly-cruise 2028 programme is worth comparing.

Regent Seven Seas Cruises

Regent Seven Seas Cruises takes an all inclusive philosophy further than most lines: their fares include fine dining, premium beverages, unlimited Wi-Fi, shore excursions and gratuities as standard. If you want to board knowing that practically everything is covered, Regent is the line to consider. Their 2028 Southampton sailings feature ships including Seven Seas Voyager and Seven Seas Mariner.

Princess Cruises

Princess Cruises rounds out the 2028 Southampton all inclusive programme with a handful of sailings. Princess is a well-established line with a broad demographic appeal, and their Princess Plus and Princess Premier packages bundle in drinks, Wi-Fi and crew appreciation into one manageable fare. See the full Princess Cruises 2028 programme for the range of itineraries available across all ports.

Ships to Know on These Sailings

The ships span from large resort-style vessels to more intimate luxury ships. Here are the ones worth knowing in detail.

Celebrity Beyond

Celebrity Beyond is the most spacious ship in Celebrity’s Edge Class, and it shows in the design: float pools with views that seem to extend to the horizon, generous open decks and a layout that keeps the ship feeling unhurried even when it is full. If you are choosing your cabin, the range runs from compact interiors to the Iconic Suite — a 239.8 m² space sleeping up to 6 guests with 360° panoramic views positioned high above the bridge, making it the largest suite in the entire Celebrity fleet. See the Celebrity Beyond cabins and deck plans for the full breakdown.

• Deluxe Inside (DI) — 18.8 m², sleeps 2. The most spacious inside cabin on the ship, around 2 m² larger than a standard inside.
• Deluxe Ocean-view (DO) — 22.1 m², sleeps 1. The largest ocean-view cabin grade, around 3.5 m² more than a standard ocean-view.
• Sunset Veranda Stateroom (SV) — 21.2 m² plus an 8.3 m² balcony, sleeps 2. More than twice the outdoor space of a standard veranda cabin.
• Iconic Suite (IC) — 239.8 m², sleeps 6. The largest and most luxurious suite in the entire Celebrity fleet, with panoramic views from high above the bridge.

Norwegian Star

Norwegian Star is one of NCL’s most distinctive ships, partly because of its Garden Villas — private multi-room residences with their own courtyards, pool and sun deck, running to 621.9 m² of living space and 413 m² of private garden. That makes them the largest accommodation available on board by a considerable margin. For everyone else, the Mandara Spa offers a thermal suite and therapy pool, and the Spice H2O adults-only deck has six hot tubs and a cocktail bar. Dining is fully freestyle across a steakhouse, a French restaurant, a sushi bar and a Brazilian churrascaria — no fixed sittings, no dress code. See the Norwegian Star cabins and deck plans for the full cabin 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 and natural daylight.
• 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 private garden, sleeps 7. NCL’s most distinctive luxury accommodation, with a private pool and sun deck.

MSC Meraviglia

MSC Meraviglia is built around its 96-metre LED sky promenade — the Galleria Meraviglia — a glowing indoor boulevard lined with boutiques, restaurants and nightly entertainment that acts as the ship’s social hub. Beyond the Galleria, the Polar Aquapark, a full-sized bowling alley and Formula 1 simulators mean there is something for every age. MSC Yacht Club guests enjoy a ship-within-a-ship experience with their own exclusive areas. See the MSC Meraviglia cabins and deck plans for grades and layouts.

Norwegian Getaway

Norwegian Getaway carries NCL’s Freestyle approach in a ship designed around open-air socialising. The Waterfront is an oceanfront promenade — an outdoor dining and lounging deck that wraps around the ship and keeps you genuinely close to the sea rather than sealed inside. Dining venues include the stylish Savour restaurant, and entertainment spans the theatrical to the spectacular. Check the Norwegian Getaway cabins and deck plans when you are ready to choose your grade.

Seven Seas Voyager

Seven Seas Voyager is an all-suite ship from Regent Seven Seas Cruises, built around the idea that space and inclusion should not be afterthoughts. Every guest is in a suite with a private balcony, and the fare covers fine dining, premium beverages, unlimited Wi-Fi, shore excursions and gratuities. If you want to compare space and grades in detail, the Seven Seas Voyager cabins and deck plans are the place to start.

Seven Seas Mariner

Seven Seas Mariner is another Regent Seven Seas all-suite ship on the 2028 Southampton programme. Like Voyager, it offers an all-suite layout where every cabin has a private balcony, and the Regent all inclusive fare means fine dining, drinks, Wi-Fi, shore excursions and gratuities are all wrapped in. See the Seven Seas Mariner cabins and deck plans for the suite grades and sizes available on your sailing.

What Does All Inclusive Actually Cover?

All inclusive means something different depending on the cruise line, so it is worth knowing what each fare tier actually delivers before you book. Here is what the main lines include.

Norwegian Cruise Line — Free at Sea

NCL’s headline all inclusive tiers bundle beverages and dining packages for the first 2 guests, plus Wi-Fi and shore excursion credits of US$50 per port. The higher Free at Sea Plus tier extends the speciality dining package to all guests on the reservation and broadens the beverage selection. The number of speciality dining meals included scales with the length of the sailing. Fare types such as last-minute offers and promotional bundles appear from time to time — ask our team what is available when you enquire.

Celebrity Cruises — Best Value and The Retreat

Celebrity’s best-value tier includes a classic drinks package and basic Wi-Fi in a single price — the most straightforward entry point for all inclusive sailing. The Retreat, aimed at suite guests, layers in a premium drinks package, premium Wi-Fi, exclusive lounge access, a private sundeck and dedicated personal service. Between those two tiers, there is a cruise-only rate for passengers who prefer to add extras individually.

Regent Seven Seas — Fully Inclusive by Design

Regent’s fares are the most comprehensive. Fine dining across all restaurants, unlimited premium beverages, unlimited Wi-Fi, included shore excursions and gratuities are all part of the standard fare. You board knowing that the ship’s restaurants — every one of them — are open to you at no extra charge, and that your excursions ashore are arranged and paid for. It is a fundamentally different model from lines that treat drinks or dining as an upgrade, and it suits passengers who want to budget the trip precisely in advance.

Are There Any Discounts Available?

Reductions of up to 10% are available on selected sailings, measured against the price previously listed for that cabin grade on that sailing. The headline figure applies to a small number of departures; most discounted sailings carry a reduction of around 4%. Fare types such as early-booking rates, last-minute offers and promotional packages appear throughout the year — our team can tell you what is currently on the table when you call. The most reliable way to secure the cabin grade you want at the keenest price is to book early, particularly on Regent sailings where suite availability is limited.

How to Get to Southampton

Southampton is one of the best-connected cruise ports in the UK. By road, it sits on the M3 and M27 corridors and is straightforward to reach from London, the Midlands, Wales and the South West. There is long-stay parking at the cruise terminals, and if you would rather not drive, South Western Railway and CrossCountry both serve Southampton Central with direct or one-change services from much of England and Wales. Cruise1st can arrange a transfer from your home or your nearest station if you prefer to leave the logistics to us — just ask when you book.

For one-way sailings ending in ports such as Reykjavik, Copenhagen, Lisbon or New York, a flight home is part of the plan. We can book that flight alongside your cruise and arrange any hotels and transfers at the far end, so the whole journey is on one booking rather than stitched together yourself.

How to Book — and What We Can Add

Cruise1st is one of the UK’s leading cruise specialists — our team books these ships regularly and knows the cabin grades, the fare tiers and the itinerary quirks that make the difference between a good holiday and a great one. When you call, you are talking to someone who can tell you whether a Club Balcony Suite on Norwegian Star is worth the step up from an ocean-view, or whether The Retreat fare on Celebrity Beyond makes financial sense given how you actually spend your days on board.

Beyond the sailing itself, a Cruise1st Package lets us build the whole trip around your cruise — flights for one-way itineraries, hotels the night before departure or after arrival, transfers between home and port, tours ashore and travel insurance. Everything on one booking, priced as a package. You can also reach us to book just the cruise if that is all you need; the point is that you have a specialist on hand either way.

We are ABTA and ATOL bonded, and rated 4.5 out of 5 on Trustpilot from over 7,000 reviews. Our all inclusive cruise page covers the broader range of inclusive sailings if you want to compare what is available across all ports and years.

Other 2028 Sailings Worth Considering

If the sailings are not quite the right fit, there is a wide range of related 2028 departures worth exploring. Browse all 2028 sailings from Southampton if you want to widen the search beyond all inclusive fares. The 2027 Southampton sailings are worth a look if your dates are flexible — that programme is already well established and has strong availability across the same lines.

For specific lines, the Norwegian Cruise Line 2028 programme and the Celebrity 2028 Southampton schedule show all sailings for those lines, not only all inclusive departures. The Princess Cruises 2028 programme is worth checking if you want a longer or more exotic itinerary from that line — Princess Japan and Southeast Asia sailings for 2027–2028 are a popular choice for passengers wanting something further afield.

For destinations, Norway sailings from Southampton in 2028 and British Isles sailings in 2028 give you a deeper look at those specific regions. If the Mediterranean appeals, Mediterranean sailings in 2028 cover the full range of lines and embarkation ports. The Canary Islands 2028 programme is a good comparison if you are thinking of a longer southern voyage. And if a world voyage is on your radar, world sailings in 2028 bring together everything available that year. For a broader view of all cruises across every year and port, that is the place to start.

You may also want to look at the all inclusive no fly Southampton 2027 sailings for a comparison of the previous year’s programme, or the all inclusive 2027 sailings from the UK more broadly. For P&O 2028 sailings, that programme runs from Southampton across a wide range of destinations and is worth checking alongside the lines.

If you are open to departing from a different port, 2028 sailings from Liverpool cover similar regions with a different embarkation point. The 2026 all inclusive Southampton programme is useful if you want to see how the product has evolved year on year.

Where a discount is shown, it is a reduction from the price previously listed for that cabin grade on that sailing, not a comparison between cabin grades or against a brochure rate. Discounts and prices shown are not kept up to date: the reduction available now may be smaller, or may have ended, and prices may have changed.
