Fly and Cruise Packages - Relaxed Journeys from Airport to Ship

What Are Fly Cruises?

Fly Cruises are a simple idea that makes a huge difference to how your holiday feels from day one. Instead of sailing out of the UK and spending several sea days reaching warmer waters, you fly straight to your embarkation port and step on board ready to start exploring. In other words, a fly cruise is a cruise holiday with flights packaged alongside your sailing, designed to be smooth, straightforward and time-efficient.

You’ll also see Fly Cruises described in a few different ways online, such as fly and cruise, “flight and cruise”, or a cruise and flight bundle. Whatever the wording, the goal is the same: reduce the stress of organising multiple bookings and maximise the time you spend enjoying the destination. For many UK travellers, Fly Cruises open up the world, making it easier to sail the Caribbean in winter, explore Asia, or tick off a bucket-list itinerary like Australia without adding complicated planning.

With Cruise1st, Fly Cruises are all about choice. You can opt for a sunshine-focused getaway, a culture-packed itinerary, or an adventure route that takes you somewhere you’d never reach easily on a no-fly sailing. Many itineraries can also be enhanced with hotel stays or a short city break before you board, so your holiday feels like a proper, rounded escape rather than simply a flight and a ship.

Benefits of Fly Cruises

If you’ve ever spent hours comparing flight times, transfer options and cruise itineraries across multiple tabs, you’ll appreciate why Fly Cruises are so popular. They’re built for convenience, but they also offer a wider range of itineraries and, often, better overall value than booking everything separately.

• More destinations, less waiting – Fly straight to the region you want to explore, so you can spend your holiday time in the places that matter most rather than travelling to reach them.
• Holiday planning made easier – A single package can include your cruise and flights, and often transfers too, reducing the number of moving parts you need to organise.
• Great for winter sun – Fly Cruises make it easy to chase warm weather during the UK’s colder months, especially for popular regions like the Caribbean and the Canary Islands.
• Better choice of routes – Many of the world’s best itineraries don’t routinely sail from UK ports, so Fly Cruises unlock more variety across seasons.
• Ideal for first-time cruisers – If you’re new to cruising, the simplicity of a packaged cruise and flight can feel far less daunting than arranging separate bookings.
• Flexible add-ons – Add a city break, a pre-cruise hotel or a post-cruise stay to turn your sailing into a bigger holiday experience.

One more perk: Fly Cruises can help you match the best itinerary to the right time of year. Want Mediterranean hotspots in summer, the Caribbean in winter, or Northern Europe during shoulder season? Flying to your port gives you flexibility, so you can pick the best itinerary rather than the nearest departure.

FAQs About Fly Cruises

Are Fly Cruises the same as cruises with air included?
Yes. If you see “cruises with air included”, it means flights are part of the package, alongside your cruise. It’s the same concept as a fly cruise or fly and cruise holiday.

Do Fly Cruises include transfers?
Many packages do include transfers between the airport and port, and sometimes hotel transfers as well. What’s included can vary by itinerary, so Cruise1st will always confirm the full package details before you book.

Can I add a hotel stay to a fly and cruise holiday?
Often, yes. Adding a pre-cruise hotel can help you ease into your holiday, especially if you’re arriving the day before embarkation. It’s also a great way to add a mini city break to your cruise.

Are Fly Cruises good value compared to booking separately?
They can be. Packaging your cruise and flight can make budgeting easier, and in many cases it can work out competitively versus arranging each element independently, particularly when you add in transfers and hotel options.

When is the best time to book?
If you have specific travel dates or want a particular cabin type, booking early usually gives the best choice. If you’re flexible, you can also keep an eye on deal-led packages via Last Minute Fly Cruise Deals for great-value sailings.
