Princess Cruises 2028 from the UK

Where Do Princess Cruises Go from the UK in 2028?

Every Princess Cruises sailing departs from Southampton, which means you can reach the terminal by road or rail and be on board the same afternoon — no airport queues, no early-morning flights. Sailings run throughout 2028, with durations ranging from 7 to 29 nights and a median of 12, so there is something to suit a fortnight’s holiday as easily as a longer voyage. The shape of 2028 is varied: round-Britain and no-fly sailings account for the largest share, with transatlantic crossings equally well represented, followed by Norway, and a handful of sailings into Southern European waters.

Round Britain and No-Fly Sailings

The biggest group in the 2028 Princess Cruises calendar from the UK covers the British Isles, England and the wider United Kingdom — waters that are far more rewarding than many people expect. Sailing out of Southampton, you pass through genuinely dramatic coastal scenery without a passport barrier in sight. These itineraries are a natural fit if you want a no-fly holiday, if you’d prefer not to deal with a long journey to an embarkation port, or if you simply want to explore your own coastline with the comfort of a large ship beneath you.

For a closer look at what the British Isles cruises in 2028 offer across all cruise lines, that page covers the full range of sailings in this region.

Norway and the Fjords

Princess Cruises operates a solid programme of Norway sailings from Southampton in 2028, departing directly from the UK and heading north into fjord country. These are round-trip sailings, so you return to Southampton at the end — no flight needed on the way home either. Norway at this level of comfort means arriving in port rested rather than road-weary, with time to take in the landscapes at each stop before the ship moves on.

If you want to compare Princess Cruises’ Norway sailings against the wider 2028 Norway programme from the UK, see our Norway cruises in 2028 page for the full picture.

Transatlantic Crossings

Transatlantic sailings make up one of the two largest groups in the 2028 line-up. These are mostly one-way voyages — the ship crosses the Atlantic and ends at a port on the other side, which means you will need a flight home (or an onward journey) at the end. The disembarkation ports in the FACTS include Boston, Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) and Buenos Aires.

If you’re ending in Florida, it’s worth knowing that Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) and Miami are about half an hour apart, so a Florida trip can sail into either — worth checking both when you plan your return. We can book the flight home, any hotels either side and transfers as part of a single Cruise1st Package, so you are not left to piece the journey together yourself.

For a comparison with other lines crossing the Atlantic in 2028, our Transatlantic cruises in 2028 page lists the wider choice, and the Transatlantic 2028 cruises with P&O Cruises page covers the closest alternative line.

Southern Europe

A small number of 2028 sailings head south into the Western Mediterranean and towards the Canary Islands. If the Canary Islands are your focus, see our dedicated Canary Islands cruises in 2028 page, or if a fly-cruise suits you better, the Canary Islands fly-cruises for 2028 page covers that option.

Which Ships Sail These Princess Cruises 2028 Routes?

3 ships cover the 2028 UK programme. Here is what each brings to the voyage.

Majestic Princess

Majestic Princess was refurbished in 2025 and is the most active ship in this programme, covering British Isles, Norway and transatlantic routes from Southampton. The ship’s SeaWalk — a glass-floor walkway cantilevered out over the ocean — gives you a clear view straight down to the water below, which is a distinctive experience you will not find on most ships. The Hollywood Pool Club’s glass-domed pool keeps swimming comfortable whatever the weather north of the UK, which matters on British Isles and Norway sailings particularly.

Dining runs across 16 venues, including Crown Grill, Sabatini’s, O’Malley’s Irish Pub and Chef’s Table Lumiere. MedallionClass wristband technology means food and drinks can be delivered to you anywhere on board — a poolside drink arrives without you needing to move. The Sanctuary adults-only deck retreat gives you a quieter space away from the main pool areas when you want it.

Majestic Princess Cabin Grades

See the full Majestic Princess cabins and deck plans for layouts and positions. The grades available run from inside cabins to the flagship Owner’s Suite:

• Inside cabin IA — from £745 pp*: 15.4 m², sleeps up to 4. Twenty-four-hour room service is included, with meals and snacks available at any time.
• Sea-view cabin O6: 20.0 m², sleeps up to 3. Natural daylight through exterior windows with a sea view — a clear step up from a windowless inside cabin.
• Deluxe Balcony cabin DA: 23.4 m², sleeps up to 4, with a sofa bed. Considerably more spacious than a standard balcony cabin.
• Owner’s Suite S2: 81.7 m², sleeps up to 4. The largest suite on board — nearly twice the living space of a Penthouse Suite.

Sky Princess

Sky Princess carries one of the highest balcony ratios in the Princess fleet: 81% of cabins feature a private balcony, which means the majority of guests have their own outdoor space regardless of grade. That makes it a particularly good choice on Norway itineraries, where the scenery unfolds alongside the ship and you want somewhere to stand and watch it without heading to a shared deck.

The Sanctuary adults-only retreat on Sky Princess offers private cabanas, spa treatments and light meals on a dedicated sun deck — a proper quiet zone rather than simply a roped-off area. Crown Grill, Sabatini’s Italian Trattoria, Chef’s Table Lumiere with galley tour, and Movies Under the Stars are among the dining and entertainment options on board.

Sky Princess Cabin Grades

Full layouts and deck positions are on the Sky Princess cabins and deck plans page. Grades available:

• Inside cabin IA: 15.4 m², sleeps up to 4. Middle to upper deck positions offer reduced ship motion, with central lift access.
• Premium Ocean-view cabin O5: 16.0 m², sleeps 2. Floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows bring continuous natural light and unobstructed sea views directly into the cabin.
• Deluxe Balcony cabin DA: 23.4 m², sleeps up to 4. More spacious than a standard balcony cabin, with a larger outdoor area and wider views.
• Sky Suite S0: 160.4 m², sleeps up to 5. Two completely separate bedrooms each with an ensuite bathroom — a layout no other suite aboard matches.

Caribbean Princess

Caribbean Princess is a modified Grand-class ship with nearly 900 balcony staterooms, making private outdoor space accessible across a wide range of cabin budgets. MedallionClass wristband technology delivers on-demand drinks anywhere on board, just as it does on Majestic Princess. Crown Grill steakhouse and Sabatini’s Italian Trattoria are the headline speciality dining venues; Movies Under the Stars runs on the open deck.

The Princess Theater hosts lavish Broadway-style productions on sea days and evenings. The Sanctuary adults-only retreat tops the ship and provides a calm alternative to the main pool deck when you want peace and quiet during the crossing.

Caribbean Princess Cabin Grades

Layouts and positions are detailed on the Caribbean Princess cabins and deck plans page. The grades run as follows:

• Inside cabin IA: 15.1 m², sleeps up to 4. Middle deck positions on decks 10–12 offer calmer motion than higher decks, with central lift access.
• Sea-view cabin OC: 16.6 m², sleeps up to 4. A window with an unobstructed sea view — the key comfort an inside cabin cannot offer.
• Premium Balcony cabin B1: 25.2 m², sleeps up to 4. Your own private balcony gives direct access to fresh air and views without using the shared decks.
• Grand Suite S1: 118.6 m², sleeps up to 4. More than twice the floor space of the Owner’s Suite — the most spacious suite on this ship.

Are There Any Price Reductions on These Sailings?

Some sailings carry a reduced fare compared to the price previously listed for that cabin grade on that sailing. The maximum reduction reaches up to 26% on a single departure, though that is the headline figure on one sailing; most reduced sailings are closer to 5% off that cabin’s previous price. Our expert advisers can tell you which departures currently carry a reduction and whether the saving is meaningful for the cabin grade you have in mind — a quick call before you book can make a real difference to what you pay.

Sailing from Southampton in 2028

All 2028 Princess Cruises sailings depart from Southampton. That is genuinely useful: Southampton is reachable from most of Britain by road or rail without an early start, and the terminal is well served by parking, taxis and train connections. For passengers heading south on a transatlantic crossing, Southampton is the point from which the ship sets out, and you board here regardless of where the voyage ends.

If you want to see the full range of departures from Southampton across all lines and years, the Cruises from Southampton hub covers everything we have. For 2028 sailings from Southampton specifically — including Princess Cruises — see our Princess Cruises 2028 from Southampton page, which narrows the results to that port alone.

If you are thinking about 2027 instead, the 2027 cruises from Southampton page shows what is available in the year prior, and the Princess Cruises 2027 from the UK page covers the equivalent Princess programme for that year.

Make the Most of Your Princess Cruise in 2028

A Princess Cruises holiday from the UK is straightforward to arrange, but the details — the cabin grade, the fare type, the pre-cruise night, the transfers — make a noticeable difference to how the trip feels. As one of the UK’s leading cruise specialists, Cruise1st’s team has hands-on knowledge of this fleet and can walk you through the options before you commit.

Fare types on Princess Cruises can include options such as standard and saver fares, as well as promotional offers that change throughout the year — our advisers can explain what each one covers and what it leaves out. On a one-way transatlantic sailing, we can also arrange the flight home, any hotels either side, transfers from the disembarkation port and travel insurance, all on one booking through our Cruise1st Packages service.

If you are planning a no-fly sailing — whether round Britain, to Norway, or a round-trip itinerary — we can add a hotel the night before in Southampton, car parking at the port, or a train transfer to the terminal, whichever suits you best. The goal is a single joined-up booking rather than a collection of separate arrangements to keep track of.

Cruise1st is rated 4.5 out of 5 on Trustpilot from over 7,000 reviews, and we are ABTA and ATOL protected, so your money is covered from the moment you book.

What Can You Do Ashore on a Princess Cruise from the UK?

Shore time is a significant part of what makes any cruise worthwhile, and Princess Cruises builds itineraries that give you meaningful time in each port. On British Isles and UK coastal itineraries, port calls often include historic harbours, coastal towns and island stops that are difficult to reach any other way — the ship takes you there and gives you the afternoon. On Norway sailings, time ashore lets you explore on foot, by local transport or on an organised excursion into the surrounding landscape. On a transatlantic voyage, disembarkation at Boston, Fort Lauderdale or Buenos Aires is a natural starting point for a few extra days in the destination before you fly home — something our team can arrange as part of your package.

If you would like to extend the trip on either end, we can build in city stays, excursion packages and any onward transfers you need, all on the same booking.

Also Worth Considering

If you are open to neighbouring years or similar routes, a few pages are worth a look alongside these 2028 sailings.

The Princess Cruises 2028 sailings worldwide page covers the full Princess fleet for 2028, including itineraries that do not depart from the UK — useful if you are considering joining a sailing at a foreign port. The Princess Japan and Southeast Asia 2027–2028 sailings page is worth a look if longer-haul Princess voyages are on your radar.

For 2028 cruises from the UK more broadly — including other lines sailing the same routes — our 2028 cruises hub shows the full range across all cruise lines we carry. If P&O Cruises is on your shortlist alongside Princess, the P&O Cruises 2028 sailings page gives you a direct comparison with the other major UK-departure line for the year.

Norwegian fjords enthusiasts comparing routes should also look at our Norway cruises from the UK hub, which covers sailings across all lines and years, and the British Isles cruise deals page for those keeping a close eye on cost around UK waters.

For no-fly sailing options in 2028, our no-fly cruises from the UK in 2028 page gathers everything departing without a flight requirement, and the all-inclusive cruises from the UK in 2028 page is worth checking if you want drinks and extras included from the outset. The British Isles cruises from the UK hub and the broader cheap British Isles cruises page both cover round-Britain options across all lines and price points.

If the Canary Islands appeal as a warm-weather alternative, see our Canary Islands 2028 cruises page or the Canary Islands October 2028 page for autumn-specific sailings.

Equally, if you are considering the Western Mediterranean and want to compare across lines, the Mediterranean cruises in 2028 page is the right place to start.

Finally, if you are thinking about sailings from Southampton more broadly — not just Princess — our Cruises from Southampton page is one of the most comprehensive starting points we have, with hundreds of departures across all lines and years. All of these cruises can be booked with expert advice from Cruise1st.
