2027 Cruises

Where Are the 2027 Cruise Sailings Going?

Across the 2027 sailings on sale with Cruise1st, Southeast Asia leads the way — it is the most popular region in the mix, with itineraries sailing from Singapore and rounding up ports across the region. Transatlantic crossings and Western Mediterranean sailings are both strongly represented, followed by the Caribbean and Central America. Closer to home, a solid selection of round-Britain and no-fly sailings keeps England well on the map for 2027. Durations run from short breaks of 4 nights through to extended voyages of 40 nights, with a median around 14 nights — long enough to properly get somewhere, without taking up all your annual leave in one go.

Which Regions Can I Cruise in 2027?

Round Britain and No-Fly Sailings

If you would rather not fly, England-based sailings let you board at Southampton and be at sea the same day, travelling to and from the ship by road or rail. There is no airport queue at either end, and we can arrange any transfers or overnight hotels you need the night before. See our British Isles cruises for 2027 if you want to keep it close to home for the whole trip.

Southern Europe and the Mediterranean

The Mediterranean in 2027 spans the western basin through to the broader Mediterranean and the Canary Islands. Western Mediterranean itineraries often board at Rome (Civitavecchia) and call at ports across Spain, France and Italy — we can arrange flights out and back, plus any hotels either side, as a single package. If you are set on the Greek Islands in 2027, sailings in this region board at Piraeus (Athens). Mediterranean cruises from Southampton in 2027 are also available for those who prefer to avoid flying altogether.

Further Afield

Southeast Asia is the standout region for 2027, with Princess Cruises sailings covering Japan and Southeast Asia among the highlights. Itineraries in this part of the world typically board at Singapore, with the cruise itself spanning ports across the region. Transatlantic sailings in 2027 suit travellers who want the crossing itself to be the journey — boarding in Europe and arriving in the Americas, or vice versa. One-way itineraries are common on transatlantic routes, so a flight home from the disembarkation port is part of the plan; we can book that, along with any hotels and transfers, as part of the same holiday.

The Caribbean remains a firm favourite, with sailings departing from Miami and Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) — the 2 ports are about half an hour apart, so a Florida trip can sail from either and it is worth checking both for dates and prices. Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) is often the better option for flights. Caribbean 2027 cruises with New York stays combine the sailing with time in New York — a popular add-on that we can package with flights and hotels. Central America and East Asia round out the further-afield options, with sailings also available to New Zealand.

Which Cruise Lines Are Sailing in 2027?

MSC Cruises is the most popular line for 2027, with a wide spread of itineraries across multiple regions. Royal Caribbean is close behind, offering everything from short Caribbean getaways to longer itineraries in Japan. Princess Cruises brings a strong showing in Southeast Asia and the Mediterranean, while Costa Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Line both offer good depth across European and American routes.

Also sailing in 2027: P&O Cruises, Celebrity Cruises, Holland America Line, and Carnival Cruise Line. For P&O Cruises 2027 sailings, including P&O from Southampton, we hold a strong selection. MSC Cruises from Southampton in 2027 are also available for no-fly travellers. If you are weighing up lines, our cruise experts can walk you through the differences in ships, fare inclusions and itineraries — call before you book.

Ships Sailing in 2027

Sun Princess

Launched in February 2024, Sun Princess is the first ship in Princess Cruises’ Sphere class and the newest vessel in the Princess fleet. The Dome — a glass-enclosed multi-level deck inspired by Santorini terraces — works as an indoor/outdoor pool by day and an evening entertainment venue by night. With 29 dining and bar options, including the three-storey Horizons Dining Room, it offers the widest choice of any Princess ship. Princess Cruises 2027 from Southampton includes sailings on this ship.

Cabin grades on Sun Princess — see the full Sun Princess cabins and deck plans:

• Inside cabin IA — 13.5 m², sleeps up to 4. Compact and excellent value, ideal if the cabin is mainly for sleeping.
• Premium Sea-view cabin O2 — 19.7 m², sleeps up to 4. A panoramic window brings natural daylight and unobstructed sea views.
• Deluxe Balcony cabin DF (spacious) — 27.4 m², sleeps up to 4. Your own outdoor space for breakfast or sundowners at sea.
• Sky suite S0 — 117.2 m², sleeps up to 4. Two full bedrooms, two bathrooms — one with bathtub and separate shower.

MSC Magnifica

MSC Magnifica carries one of the most distinctive wellness offerings of any ship in its class — the MSC Aurea Spa features a salt grotto and a Kneipp circuit. The Royal Theatre seats 1,200 guests for Broadway-calibre productions, and the ship-within-a-ship MSC Yacht Club gives guests their own exclusive sundeck, pool, restaurant and round-the-clock butler service. See the full MSC Magnifica cabins and deck plans.

Queen Elizabeth

Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth is built around art deco design — glittering chandeliers, sweeping staircases and a grand lobby. The Royal Court Theatre stages West End-calibre shows, and gala evenings in the Queens Room ballroom feature live orchestral dancing. Tiered dining across Britannia, Princess Grill and Queen’s Grill is a Cunard signature, as is the daily white-gloved afternoon tea service. Check the Queen Elizabeth cabins and deck plans for grade details.

Costa Fascinosa

Costa Fascinosa has a cinematic glamour theme running through its interiors — gold leaf, deep ruby décor and design nods to Fellini and Visconti. The Samsara Spa stretches across 6,000 m² over 2 decks, with a thalassotherapy pool and more than 100 spa-access cabins. The three-deck theatre and Archipelago restaurant — with three Michelin-starred chefs on board — round out a genuinely distinctive ship. Cabin grades on Costa Fascinosa — full details on the Costa Fascinosa cabins and deck plans page:

• Inside cabin I4 — 10 m², sleeps up to 4. A touch larger than other inside grades on the ship.
• Ocean-view cabin E1 — 16 m², sleeps up to 4. The larger of the 2 ocean-view options, with daylight straight from your bed.
• Suite GS — 31 m², sleeps up to 4. Considerably more living space than the mini-suite option, with a balcony.
• Balcony cabin B1 — 19 m², sleeps up to 4. Your own outdoor space without crossing public decks for sea air.

Azura — P&O Cruises

P&O’s Azura was refreshed bow-to-stern in 2025, with new restaurants, bars, cabin décor and corridors throughout. Specialty dining at Sindhu for modern Indian cuisine sits alongside the Glass House wine bar, curated by TV wine expert Olly Smith. The 800-seat Playhouse theatre delivers West End-quality aerial acrobatics and shows, and SeaScreen open-air cinema on deck brings films under the stars. Cabin grades on Azura:

• Larger Inside Cabin OB — 15 m², sleeps 2. Exclusively on Riviera Deck, making it easy to find your bearings around the ship.
• Sea View Cabin LB — 15 m², sleeps 2. Natural light and an unobstructed sea view — everything the inside cabin offers, plus an outlook onto the water.
• Superior Deluxe Balcony Cabin DA — 29 m², sleeps 2. Private outdoor space for sea air and open views.
• Penthouse Suite A1 — 69 m², sleeps 2. The largest suite on board, with a full separate lounge area.

What Are the Fare Types in 2027?

Fare tiers vary by cruise line, and knowing the difference can save you a meaningful amount or get you significantly more included. With Royal Caribbean, fare types include Last-Minute fares with discounted pricing on select sailings, early-booking offers, and solo-traveller fares for single occupancy. Promotional fare types such as third and fourth guest offers appear on selected sailings — our team can tell you which apply to your chosen departure.

With Princess Cruises, the base Standard fare covers the cruise itself, while Princess Plus adds 4 casual dining meals per voyage, beverages up to a daily limit, MedallionNet Wi-Fi, crew appreciation, digital photographs and reserved theatre seating — a meaningful bundle if you plan to use the dining and drinks. Last-minute Drop N Go fares are also available on selected sailings.

Costa Cruises offers a full All Inclusive tier covering full board, unlimited premium drinks, entertainment and a reserved dining table, as well as a Comfort Plus tier and last-minute FLASH fares on selected cabins. If you are comparing a base fare against an all-inclusive option, our experts can help you work out which gives better value for the way you cruise.

Can I Find Cheap Cruise Deals for 2027?

2027 cruise deals are available across lines and regions, from short no-fly sailings to longer fly-cruise packages. Fare tiers such as last-minute offers and early-booking bonuses both appear in the 2027 mix — the right timing depends on how flexible you are and how specific your dates need to be. As cruise specialists, we can search across lines and help you find the combination of route, ship and fare that suits your budget. If you are looking for all-inclusive Norwegian Fjords sailings in 2027 or Canary Islands cruises for 2027, both are worth exploring for value in the 2027 mix.

How Do I Book a 2027 Cruise from the UK?

Most 2027 sailings depart from overseas ports, which means a flight out is part of the journey.

We are rated 4.5/5 on Trustpilot from over 7,000 reviews, and we are ABTA and ATOL protected, so your money is covered.

If you are based further north, 2027 cruises from Liverpool are another no-fly option worth checking. For Christmas and winter sailings, Christmas cruises from Southampton are a perennial favourite for UK travellers.
