Fly Cruises 2027 – Flights Included Cruise Holidays

Fly cruises in 2027 span the globe — from Southeast Asia and East Asia to the Western Mediterranean, the Caribbean and Transatlantic crossings. Sailings range from 7 nights to 40 nights, with a median of 16 nights, and the majority depart from overseas embarkation ports — meaning your 2027 fly cruise holiday starts the moment you check in at the airport. Cruise1st packages the flights, pre- or post-cruise hotels, transfers and your cruise fare as one joined-up holiday.

Fly Cruising in 2027

The 2027 fly cruise programme is broad, covering a wide spread of cruise lines, ship sizes and itinerary lengths. Royal Caribbean, Princess Cruises, MSC Cruises, Celebrity Cruises, Carnival Cruise Line and Azamara all have strong programmes, alongside Cruise1st Packages that bundle the cruise with flights and accommodation. You can also explore options with Costa Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line and Oceania Cruises.

Just over half the 2027 fly cruise sailings in this programme are one-way itineraries — worth knowing before you book, because a one-way sailing means you’ll need a flight home from the disembarkation port. Cruise1st can arrange that return leg, along with any hotel nights you want at either end, so it never becomes a problem to solve on your own.

Embarkation ports are spread worldwide. Miami and Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) are both well served — the two ports are about half an hour apart, so a Florida trip can sail from either and it’s worth checking both for dates and prices. Rome (Civitavecchia) is a popular European embarkation point, alongside Barcelona.

What Are the Benefits of Choosing Fly Cruises in 2027?

A fly cruise removes the journey decisions that can make planning a long-haul cruise feel complicated. You fly out to the ship, board, and the itinerary does the work from there. For 2027 fly cruise holidays specifically, the benefits stack up in a few ways:

• One booking covers everything. Through Cruise1st Packages, flights, hotels, transfers and your cruise fare sit on a single booking reference. ATOL and ABTA protection applies to the package.
• Access to longer, more ambitious itineraries. Because you fly to the ship rather than sailing from a UK port, the programme opens up Southeast Asia, East Asia, Australia, New Zealand and Japan — regions that are simply too far to reach on a sailing from Southampton.
• Expert cabin and fare guidance. With so many lines and fare tiers available, speaking to a cruise specialist before you book can save money and avoid surprises. Our advisers know the difference between a cruise-only rate and a package fare, and what each one actually gives you.
• Flexible trip design. Want a night in a city before you board, or a touring extension after you disembark? We can add hotels, tours and transfers so the cruise becomes part of a bigger holiday rather than a standalone trip.

If you prefer to sail without flying at all, no-fly cruises from UK ports are also available — Southampton, Liverpool and Dover can all be reached by road or rail from most of Britain.

Where Do 2027 Fly Cruise Sailings Go?

Southeast Asia and East Asia

Southeast Asia leads the 2027 fly cruise programme. Itineraries in this region tend to be longer — typically over two weeks — and disembark at ports including Singapore and Hong Kong. Singapore is one of the most common disembarkation points across the whole programme, and it works equally well as an embarkation port if you want to extend your stay either side. East Asia adds further depth, with sailings that call across the region and finish in ports such as Hong Kong.

For Japan cruises in 2027, both Tokyo and Yokohama (Tokyo) feature as port options. Japan-focused itineraries tend to be popular, and Princess Cruises ships such as Diamond Princess and Sapphire Princess are well suited to the region. Spectrum of the Seas from Royal Caribbean was also built specifically for the East Asia market and brings a range of facilities designed with Asian itineraries in mind, including Dadong Wonderland Chinese cuisine and Jamie’s Italian among its 16 restaurants.

If you’re drawn to Asia more broadly, Asia fly cruises in 2027 cover a wide spread of itineraries and lines across the region.

Western Mediterranean and the Broader Mediterranean

The Western Mediterranean is one of the busiest regions in the 2027 fly cruise programme. Fly to Barcelona or Rome (Civitavecchia) and you step straight onto a ship — no days at sea to reach the destination, just ports from the first morning. Mediterranean cruises in 2027 run through the full sailing season, and the Mediterranean 2027 fly cruise filter lets you narrow down by region quickly. If the broader Mediterranean appeals — including the Adriatic and Eastern Med — Greek Islands cruises in 2027 cover that end of the sea, with Piraeus (Athens) as the main embarkation point.

Transatlantic Crossings

Transatlantic sailings make up a meaningful share of the 2027 fly cruise programme. Most are one-way crossings — you fly one direction and sail the other, which turns the ocean crossing itself into a highlight rather than a transfer. Transatlantic cruises in 2027 typically end or begin in the United States, with Miami, Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) and Los Angeles all appearing as embark or disembark ports across the programme. Because these are one-way sailings, we’d always recommend sorting the return flight at the same time as the cruise — we can do that as part of the same booking.

Caribbean and Central America

The Caribbean and Central America both feature strongly in the 2027 fly cruise programme, with sailings running across the year from Florida embarkation ports. Caribbean fly cruises in 2027 are available from Cruise1st, and if you want the added option of a New York stay either side, Caribbean 2027 cruises with New York stays combine both. For all-inclusive Caribbean options, all-inclusive fly Caribbean 2027 cruises narrow the results further.

Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific

Australia and New Zealand 2027 cruises are a natural fit for a fly cruise, given the distances involved. Sydney is one of the disembarkation ports across the programme. These are typically longer sailings — well suited to anyone who wants to see a significant part of either country from the water and combine the cruise with time ashore. Sydney works particularly well as an add-on city either side, and we can arrange hotels and transfers there as part of the same booking.

Which Ships Are Sailing in the 2027 Fly Cruise Programme?

Sun Princess — Princess Cruises

Sun Princess launched in February 2024 as the first vessel of Princess Cruises’ all-new Sphere class, and she’s genuinely different from the rest of the Princess fleet. The Dome — a multi-level, glass-enclosed space inspired by Santorini terraces — houses an indoor/outdoor pool that shifts into an evening entertainment venue after dark. With 29 dining and bar options, including the three-storey Horizons Dining Room and the Piazza atrium, there’s more choice at the table than on any other Princess ship. For cabin options on Sun Princess, the range runs from compact to spacious:

• Inside cabin IA — 13.5 m², sleeps 4. Full amenities; the right choice if you plan to spend most of your time out on deck or ashore.
• Premium Sea-view cabin O2 — 19.7 m², sleeps 4. Panoramic window with an unobstructed sea view and natural daylight throughout the day.
• Deluxe Balcony cabin DF (spacious) — 27.4 m², sleeps 4. Private balcony for breakfast or sundowners at sea.
• Sky suite S0 — 117.2 m², sleeps 4. Two full bedrooms and two bathrooms, one with a bathtub and separate shower.

See the full Sun Princess cabins and deck plans for layout details before you choose.

Diamond Princess — Princess Cruises

Diamond Princess is a strong choice for Asian itineraries in 2027. The Izumi Japanese Bath — the largest Japanese-style onsen bath at sea — is a highlight specific to this ship, and the dining line-up includes Crown Grill steakhouse, Kai Sushi and Makoto Ocean by Chef Makoto Okuwa. MedallionClass technology with OceanNow delivery means you can order food and drinks to anywhere on board via the Princess app. Cabin grades on Diamond Princess:

• Inside cabin IA — 15.6 m², sleeps 4. Positioned on middle decks for minimal ship movement and good lift access.
• Premium Ocean-view cabin O5 (bow position) — 18.3 m², sleeps 4. Panoramic window with a wide forward view.
• Balcony cabin B2 — 25.7 m², sleeps 4. Direct access to sea air and views from your own outdoor space.
• Grand Suite S1 — 123.5 m², sleeps 4. The largest suite aboard — roughly twice the space of the Owner’s Suite.

Full layouts are available on the Diamond Princess cabins and deck plans page.

Spectrum of the Seas — Royal Caribbean

Spectrum of the Seas was built specifically for the East Asia market and shows it in every detail — from Dadong Wonderland Chinese cuisine to an Asian-fusion main dining room, spread across 16 restaurants in total. The North Star observation capsule is a Quantum Ultra-class exclusive: an all-glass pod that rises 300 feet above sea level and gives a view that nothing else at sea matches. Active guests have the RipCord by iFLY skydiving simulator and the FlowRider surf simulator, along with bumper cars across 16 decks. The Spectrum of the Seas cabins and deck plans page covers the full grade range.

Sapphire Princess — Princess Cruises

Sapphire Princess carries over 700 balcony staterooms — one of the highest balcony ratios in the Princess fleet — and went through a 2025 refurbishment that refreshed the spaces throughout. Crown Grill steakhouse and the new Makoto Ocean by Chef Makoto Okuwa bring premium dining to this 2,670-guest Gem-class ship. MedallionClass technology means food and drinks can be delivered to wherever you happen to be on board. Check the Sapphire Princess cabins and deck plans to find the balcony position that suits you.

Azamara Onward — Azamara

Azamara Onward carries around 692 guests — small enough to dock at 167 ports that larger ships simply cannot reach. Azamara’s signature is overnight and late-night port stays, which give you proper time ashore rather than a few rushed hours. Dining runs to Prime C Steakhouse, Aqualina Italian and a Caviar & Champagne Bar, all at a scale that feels more like a boutique hotel than a mainstream cruise ship. Cabin and suite layouts are on the Azamara Onward cabins and deck plans page.

Explorer of the Seas and Mariner of the Seas — Royal Caribbean

Explorer of the Seas and Mariner of the Seas both sail in the 2027 fly cruise programme. Deck plan details for Explorer of the Seas and Mariner of the Seas are available if you want to compare grades before booking.

What Do Fly Cruise Fare Tiers Include in 2027?

Fare inclusions vary by cruise line, and understanding them before you book can make a material difference to the overall cost. Here’s what the main lines offer:

Royal Caribbean

Royal Caribbean fares range from standard cruise fares to last-minute offers and solo fares for guests travelling alone. Fare types such as early booking bonuses and last-minute offers appear throughout the year — the right one depends on how far ahead you’re booking and how flexible you are on sailing dates. Our advisers can walk you through the options for your specific sailing.

Princess Cruises

Princess Cruises offers two main fare tiers. Princess Standard is the base cruise fare, covering the sailing itself — drinks, Wi-Fi and dining extras are available to add on. Princess Plus, available as an upgrade, brings four casual dining meals per voyage, beverages up to $15 each (with a daily limit of 15 drinks), MedallionNet Max Wi-Fi, pre-paid crew appreciation, unlimited digital photographs plus 3 prints, and reserved theatre seating. If you typically use the bar and want Wi-Fi, Plus often works out better value than adding each element separately.

Celebrity Cruises

Celebrity Cruises structures its fares in three tiers. The cruise-only rate is the entry point, giving you the lowest fare with extras added à la carte. The mid-tier includes a classic drinks package and basic Wi-Fi in one price. The Retreat, Celebrity’s top tier, covers premium drinks, premium Wi-Fi, suite accommodation, exclusive lounge and sundeck access, private dining and dedicated personal service — everything included for guests who want a fully serviced experience.

What Does a Fly and Cruise 2027 Holiday Actually Look Like?

A fly and cruise 2027 holiday typically works like this: you fly out to your embarkation port, spend a night or two in the city if you want to, board the ship, sail the itinerary, disembark, and then either fly home directly or extend with more time ashore. Cruise1st can handle every element — flights from your nearest UK airport, the hotel before you board, transfers between airport and port, and the return leg home. The whole trip goes onto one booking, with ABTA and ATOL protection covering the package.

For all-inclusive fly cruises in 2027, a number of sailings in the programme include drinks, dining and other extras as standard — worth filtering for if you prefer one upfront cost to managing spend on board. Hawaii fly cruises in 2027 and Dubai fly cruises in 2027 are also available for those with a specific destination in mind.

Looking at all cruises or wanting to compare? The broader 2027 cruises programme covers no-fly and fly options side by side, and fly cruises across all years are available if 2027 dates don’t quite work.

Where Can I Find Specific 2027 Fly Cruise Deals?

If you have a region or cruise line in mind, narrowing down from the full 2027 fly cruise programme is straightforward. A few of the most-searched options:

• Caribbean fly cruises 2027
• Mediterranean 2027 fly cruises
• 2027 fly cruises with MSC Cruises
• All-inclusive fly cruises 2027
• Canary Islands fly cruises 2027

If you’d rather start from a cruise line, the fly cruise deals section covers promotions across the programme, and fly cruises from the UK covers the full picture.

Considering Sailing Without Flying?

Fly cruises suit most 2027 itineraries in this programme — but if you’d prefer to skip the airport entirely, 2027 cruises from Southampton and 2027 cruises from Liverpool are both well served. Southampton in particular has one of the broadest programmes of any UK port, with P&O Cruises 2027 from Southampton, Princess Cruises 2027 from Southampton, MSC Cruises from Southampton 2027 and Celebrity 2027 cruises from Southampton all available. Mediterranean cruises in 2027 from Southampton and Norwegian Fjords 2027 cruises from Southampton are worth a look if you want to combine a UK departure with a European destination.
