Princess Cruises from Southampton in 2028

Princess Cruises from Southampton in 2028: Where Can You Go?

All 60 sailings leave from Southampton, and between them they cover four distinct corners of the world: Norway, the British Isles, the Transatlantic route, and Southern Europe. Trips run from 7 to 49 nights, with a median of 14 — long enough to feel genuinely unhurried. A large share of these voyages are one-way, meaning they do not return to Southampton, so it is always worth checking the disembarkation port before you book. Cruise1st can arrange your flight home, plus hotels either side and transfers, so the whole journey stays in one booking.

Which Regions Do These Sailings Cover?

Norway

Norway is the single biggest draw, with more Princess sailings heading there than anywhere else. Sailing north from Southampton, these itineraries take you deep into fjord country — dramatic scenery reached directly from home without a flight. If the fjords are your priority, you will find the widest choice here, across a range of durations. For a closer look at what is available, our dedicated Norway 2028 cruises from Southampton page goes deeper into the options, and the broader Norway cruises in 2028 collection covers sailings from other ports too. You can also explore Norway as a destination to get a feel for what awaits.

British Isles

A significant share of the 2028 programme is devoted to the British Isles — itineraries that circle the coasts of Britain and Ireland from a Southampton departure. These round-trip sailings are a strong choice if you want a no-fly holiday without straying far from home, and they suit anyone who has not yet explored these islands from the water. The British Isles cruises in 2028 page covers the full picture across all lines, and our England cruises destination hub is worth a look if you want to understand what these coastal itineraries actually visit. Sailings in this group also touch the broader United Kingdom region.

Transatlantic

The Transatlantic programme is one of the most distinctive parts of what Princess offers from Southampton. These crossings — sailing between Southampton and ports on the eastern seaboard of North America — are genuinely grand voyages, and several disembark at Boston, Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades), or Buenos Aires. Because they are one-way, you will need a flight home — or you can turn the trip into a longer holiday by adding a few nights in your disembarkation city. Cruise1st can book the return flight, the hotel and any transfers as part of the same package.

Worth knowing if you are considering Fort Lauderdale: Miami is around half an hour away, so a Florida trip can sail from either port — it is worth checking both. Our Transatlantic cruises in 2028 page covers crossings across all lines, and the Transatlantic destination hub explains what these ocean passages are actually like.

Southern Europe and the Western Mediterranean

There is also a Western Mediterranean sailing in the 2028 Southampton programme, and a Canary Islands departure — ideal if you want warmer waters. The Canary Islands are a perennial favourite for British cruisers, and this sailing leaves directly from Southampton. If you want to explore Canary Islands options further, both our Canary Islands 2028 cruises and our Canary Islands fly-cruises in 2028 pages are worth a look, as is our Canary Islands cruises in October 2028 page for specific timing.

Which Ships Sail from Southampton with Princess in 2028?

Three Princess ships operate from Southampton in 2028: Majestic Princess, Sky Princess and Caribbean Princess. Each has a distinct character, and choosing between them is one of the most useful things our cruise experts can help you with.

Majestic Princess

Refurbished in 2025 and now sailing from Southampton, Majestic Princess offers one of the more striking experiences in the fleet. The SeaWalk — a glass-floor walkway cantilevered over the ocean — gives you sea views directly beneath your feet, which tends to stay in the memory. The Hollywood Pool Club sits beneath a glass dome, keeping things comfortable whatever the British weather does on a Norway or British Isles sailing. Across 16 dining venues, Crown Grill, Sabatini’s, O’Malley’s Irish Pub and Chef’s Table Lumiere mean there is always something different to try. MedallionClass technology means food and drinks can be delivered anywhere on board — on deck, in your cabin, wherever you happen to be. And if you want somewhere genuinely peaceful, The Sanctuary adults-only retreat at the top of the ship is the place to go.

Majestic Princess carries the most sailings in the 2028 Southampton programme. If you are thinking about cabin options, the full breakdown is on the Majestic Princess cabins and deck plans page.

Sky Princess

Sky Princess stands out for one straightforward reason: 81% of its cabins have a private balcony, one of the highest ratios in the entire Princess fleet. On a Norway sailing, that means waking up to fjord views from your own outdoor space rather than a shared deck. The Sanctuary adults-only retreat offers private cabanas, spa treatments and light meals on a dedicated sun deck — a genuine refuge on a longer voyage. Dining runs to Crown Grill, Sabatini’s Italian Trattoria, Chef’s Table Lumiere with a galley tour, and the ever-popular Movies Under the Stars on deck.

If you are weighing up cabin grades on Sky Princess, the Sky Princess cabins and deck plans page has everything you need. There is also a dedicated Sky Princess cruises from Southampton page for this ship specifically.

Caribbean Princess

Caribbean Princess is a modified Grand-class ship with nearly 900 balcony staterooms and MedallionClass wristband technology that lets you order drinks to wherever you are on board. The Princess Theater hosts Broadway-style productions each evening, and Movies Under the Stars brings the big screen to the open deck. Crown Grill and Sabatini’s Italian Trattoria cover the headline dining options, while The Sanctuary adults-only retreat offers a quieter alternative to the main pool decks.

Cabin details and deck plans for Caribbean Princess are on the Caribbean Princess cabins and deck plans page.

What Cabin Grades Are Available on These Ships?

What Do These Sailings Cost?

Prices start at £745 pp* for a 2028 Princess sailing from Southampton. Some sailings carry reductions of up to 30% from the price previously listed for that cabin grade — though that is the maximum on a single departure, and most reduced sailings are closer to 5% off. It is worth asking our team what is currently on offer when you call, as fare types such as early-saver and last-minute promotions change regularly.

None of these sailings are all-inclusive, so drinks packages and speciality dining are typically priced separately. Our cruise experts can tell you exactly what each fare tier covers before you commit, so there are no surprises at the bar on day one.

Why Book Princess Cruises from Southampton with Cruise1st?

Every sailing leaves from Southampton, which means most of Britain can reach the port by road or rail with no airport involved. That is a genuine advantage — you can drive, take the train, or let us arrange a transfer, and be on board the same afternoon. We can also add a hotel the night before if you would rather arrive without the early-morning rush.

For the one-way voyages — those ending in Buenos Aires, Copenhagen, Boston, Fort Lauderdale or Reykjavik — you will need a flight home. Cruise1st can book that as part of the same package, along with any hotels at either end and local transfers, so the whole trip is sorted in one call. Our Princess Cruises specialist knowledge means we can guide you through the fare inclusions, the cabin grades and the onboard options in a way that a general travel agent simply cannot.

We are rated 4.5/5 on Trustpilot from over 7,000 reviews, and we are ABTA and ATOL protected — so your money is safe and your holiday is backed by proper cover. Our Cruise1st Packages bring cruise, flights, hotels, tours, transfers and insurance together as a single booking. If you want to see what else is sailing from Southampton in 2028, the full cruises from Southampton hub covers every line and every season.

What Are My Disembarkation Options?

Most sailings in this programme return to Southampton — a clean round trip with no logistics to arrange at the far end. But a significant number disembark elsewhere, which opens up some interesting possibilities:

• Buenos Aires, Argentina — a natural ending point for South Atlantic and South American itineraries, with plenty to see in the city before flying home.
• Copenhagen, Denmark — a superb city to finish in, with easy flight connections back to the UK.
• Boston, Massachusetts — a compact and walkable city where you can add a night or two before your return flight.
• Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida — note that Miami is around half an hour away, so it is worth checking both ports for onward options.
• Reykjavik, Iceland — a dramatic place to disembark, and a city well worth an extra night if your schedule allows.

On any of these one-way itineraries, Cruise1st can book your flight home, transfers and accommodation as part of the same package — just tell us where you want to end up and we will sort the rest.

How Do These Sailings Compare to Other Lines from Southampton in 2028?

Princess is one of several lines operating from Southampton in 2028. If you are still weighing up your options, P&O Cruises 2028 from Southampton is the most natural comparison — P&O sails a similarly wide range of itineraries from the same port, with a distinctly British onboard feel. MSC Cruises from Southampton in 2028 offers a different style again, often at a competitive price point. For the broadest view, the full 2028 cruises collection covers everything we offer that year across all lines and all ports.

If you are open to a different year, our 2027 cruises from Southampton page has a wide programme already on sale, and the Princess Cruises from Southampton hub covers the line’s Southampton programme across all years.

What About Longer or More Specialist Sailings?

The 2028 Southampton programme includes sailings of up to 49 nights — genuinely extended voyages that take in multiple regions in a single trip. If you are interested in Princess’s wider 2028 programme beyond Southampton, the Princess Cruises 2028 collection covers every departure port, and Princess Japan and Southeast Asia 2027–2028 is worth a look for something further afield. For something closer to the extraordinary end of the scale, our world cruises from Southampton page covers grand voyages of many months’ duration.

Norwegian Fjords sailings are especially well represented in 2028 — if that is your focus, the Norwegian Fjords 2028 cruises from Southampton page brings together everything sailing north that year. And for the Mediterranean, the Mediterranean cruises 2028 from Southampton page covers options across all lines.
