Princess Cruises from Southampton

Why Choose Princess Cruises from Southampton?

Every sailing departs from Southampton, which means most of the UK can reach the port by road or rail — no airport queues, no early-morning flights. Board in the afternoon and you’re already at sea. Itineraries range from 7 to 46 nights, with a median of 14, so whether you want a fortnight in the fjords or a longer transatlantic crossing, there’s a sailing that fits. Some itineraries are round trips returning to Southampton; others are one-way, ending in ports such as Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades), New York, Buenos Aires or Santiago de Chile — on those, you’ll need a flight home, and we can book that alongside hotels and transfers so everything sits on one booking.

Prices start from £570 pp* and, on reduced sailings, discounts reach up to 44% off the price previously listed for that cabin grade — though that maximum applies to a single departure; most reduced sailings are closer to 5% off. All cruises from Southampton are available to compare, but if it’s Princess you’re after, you’re in the right place.

Where Do Princess Cruises from Southampton Go?

The range is wider than many passengers expect. Transatlantic crossings make up the largest share of departures, covering ocean passages that end in the Americas. Closer to home, British Isles and England sailings let you explore the coastline without leaving the country. Norway and the Western Mediterranean fill out the European offer. Here’s how the routes break down:

Round Britain and No-Fly Sailings

If you’d rather stay close to home, Princess offers a strong programme of British Isles cruises that circle Britain and Ireland without crossing open ocean. These are ideal for a first cruise or for guests who simply want the ease of no flying at all — outbound or return. Sailings in the United Kingdom region take a similar approach, keeping the itinerary within familiar waters.

Southern Europe and the Mediterranean

Princess sailings reach the Western Mediterranean, with routes that combine sun, history and striking coastlines. If a week suits your schedule, our 7-day Mediterranean cruises page is a good starting point. The Canary Islands are also on the menu — a popular autumn and winter choice for guests wanting guaranteed warmth without a long haul.

Norway and the Fjords

Princess runs sailings into Norway from Southampton, giving you deep fjords and dramatic coastline without the cost of a flight to Scandinavia. Our Norway cruises from the UK page covers the full picture if Norway is your priority.

Transatlantic Crossings

The biggest group of sailings heads across the Atlantic, with one-way itineraries ending in Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades), New York, Boston, Buenos Aires and Santiago de Chile. Worth knowing: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) and Miami are about half an hour apart, so a Florida trip can sail from either — it’s worth checking both. These are genuine ocean crossings, typically longer than European sailings, and they suit guests who want to arrive somewhere new and explore from there. We can arrange the return flight and any hotels you need as part of the same booking.

Are There Princess Mini Cruises from Southampton?

Short sailings are a common search, and it’s worth being clear: the sailings start from 7 nights. If you’re looking for a shorter taster — 2 to 5 nights — our Princess mini cruises from Southampton page is the right place to look. For a broader selection of short breaks leaving from Southampton, the 3-day mini cruise from Southampton page covers multiple lines. And if Christmas is your target, our Christmas mini cruise from Southampton page has seasonal options worth exploring.

Which Ships Sail Princess Cruises from Southampton?

Four Princess ships currently sail from Southampton. Each has its own character, and choosing the right one makes a real difference to how your holiday feels.

Majestic Princess

Refurbished in 2025 and the most active ship on this programme, Majestic Princess is the one to pick if you want the widest range of onboard experiences. The SeaWalk — a glass-floor walkway cantilevered out over the ocean — is one of the more talked-about features at sea. Dining spans 16 venues, from Crown Grill and Sabatini’s to Chef’s Table Lumiere and O’Malley’s Irish Pub. MedallionClass wristband technology means food and drinks can be delivered to you anywhere on board, while The Sanctuary gives adults a quiet top-deck retreat away from the main pool areas. See the full range of Majestic Princess cabins and deck plans.

Majestic Princess Cabin Grades

• Inside cabin IA (15.4 m², sleeps 4): A compact and well-priced option with 24-hour room service included — meals and snacks delivered to your cabin at any hour.
• Sea-view cabin O6 (20.0 m², sleeps 3): Natural daylight through exterior windows, giving you a sea view without the premium of a private balcony.
• Deluxe Balcony cabin DA (23.4 m², sleeps 4): More spacious than a standard balcony, with a sofa bed for extra sleeping flexibility — good for families or those wanting room to spread out.
• Owner’s Suite S2 (81.7 m², sleeps 4): The largest suite on board at 81.7 m² — nearly twice the size of the next grade down — with all the space and privacy that implies.

Sky Princess

Sky Princess is the ship for guests who want their own private balcony: 81% of cabins feature one, one of the highest ratios across the Princess fleet. The Sanctuary adults-only retreat offers private cabanas, spa treatments and light meals on a dedicated sun deck, and the dining line-up includes Crown Grill, Sabatini’s Italian Trattoria and Chef’s Table Lumiere with a galley tour. Movies Under the Stars rounds out the evening options. Check the Sky Princess cabins and deck plans to see which deck works best for you.

Sky Princess Cabin Grades

• Inside cabin IA (15.4 m², sleeps 4): Mid-to-upper deck positions reduce ship motion, with central lift access making it easy to reach every part of the vessel.
• Premium Ocean-view cabin O5 (16.0 m², sleeps 2): Floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows bring constant sea views and natural light directly into the cabin.
• Deluxe Balcony cabin DA (23.4 m², sleeps 4): Larger than a standard balcony cabin, with more outdoor space and wider views — worth the step up if you plan to spend time outside.
• Sky Suite S0 (160.4 m², sleeps 5): 2 completely separate bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom — a layout no other suite aboard offers.

Caribbean Princess

Caribbean Princess is a modified Grand-class ship carrying nearly 900 balcony staterooms, with MedallionClass wristband technology delivering on-demand drinks anywhere on board. The Princess Theater hosts Broadway-style productions; Crown Grill and Sabatini’s Italian Trattoria cover the headline dining; and The Sanctuary adults-only retreat sits at the top of the ship for guests who want peace away from the bustle. Full details are on the Caribbean Princess cabins and deck plans page.

Caribbean Princess Cabin Grades

• Inside cabin IA (15.1 m², sleeps 4): Decks 10–12 positions offer calmer motion, with central lift access throughout.
• Sea-view cabin OC (16.6 m², sleeps 4): An unobstructed window view gives you natural light and a connection to the sea that no inside cabin provides.
• Premium Balcony cabin B1 (25.2 m², sleeps 4): Your own private balcony means fresh sea air and open views without stepping onto a public deck.
• Grand Suite S1 (118.6 m², sleeps 4): At 118.6 m², the most spacious suite on board — more than twice the size of the Owner’s Suite grade — with space to match a generous shoreside apartment.

Regal Princess

Regal Princess is a Royal-class ship built for 4,250 guests across 19 decks, with a multi-level atrium at its heart. The Salty Dog Gastropub and International Café cover casual dining around the clock, while Crown Grill handles the more formal evenings. MedallionClass OceanNow delivery, Movies Under the Stars and The Sanctuary complete the picture. See the Regal Princess cabins and deck plans for the full deck-by-deck breakdown.
