Princess Cruises from the UK

Why Sail with Princess Cruises from the UK?

Every Princess sailing departs from Southampton, which means most of Britain can reach the terminal by road or rail — no airport queues, no check-in anxiety, no flight to bolt on. You board in England and you are at sea the same afternoon. For a good number of these itineraries that remains true at the other end too, with the ship returning to Southampton so you can be home by evening. For the one-way sailings — particularly the transatlantic crossings that end in the United States or South America — a flight home is part of the trip, and our team can book that alongside hotels, transfers and tours so the whole thing lands on one invoice.

Prices for Princess Cruises from the UK start at £570 pp*, and sailings run from a compact 7-night break through to extended voyages of up to 46 nights, with a median around 14 nights — enough time to settle properly into life at sea. Whether you want a quick taste of the British coast or a long transatlantic adventure, there is a sailing here that fits.

Where Does Princess Cruise from the UK?

The itineraries divide naturally into four directions, and the mix is genuinely wide. Here is where these sailings go, with the busiest groups getting the most space.

Transatlantic Crossings

The single largest group of sailings heads across the Atlantic. These are proper ocean voyages — long stretches of open water, sea days that give you time to use the ship fully, and landfall at ports including Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades), New York, Boston, Buenos Aires and Santiago de Chile. Most of these are one-way sailings, so factor in a return flight — and let us book it, along with any hotels or transfers you need at either end.

Fort Lauderdale and Miami are roughly half an hour apart, so if you are flying home from Florida it is worth checking both — either airport may suit your onward plans equally well.

British Isles and Around the UK Coast

The next biggest group stays closer to home. Sailings around the British Isles and the wider United Kingdom coastline leave from Southampton and generally return there — a genuinely no-fly holiday. These are well suited to first-time cruisers and anyone who prefers not to fly, and they give you a different perspective on the coast and ports of England and beyond. If you enjoy exploring British Isles itineraries further, there is a wide selection across the fleet. Durations vary, so there are options whether you want a long weekend away or a full fortnight’s circumnavigation.

Norway and the Fjords

A handful of sailings head north into Norway, sailing from Southampton to the fjords and back. These round-trip itineraries give you Norway without a flight in either direction — board in Southampton and sail straight into some of the most dramatic coastal scenery in Northern Europe. If you are curious about shorter Norwegian departures, it is also worth looking at mini cruises to Norway from Newcastle for a different embarkation option.

Southern Europe and the Mediterranean

Princess also sails to the Western Mediterranean from Southampton, as well as to the Mediterranean more broadly and the Canary Islands. Mediterranean sailings from the UK tend to be longer voyages — the transit through the Bay of Biscay is part of the journey — and they suit anyone who wants a true door-to-door holiday without the faff of an airport. If you are planning ahead, our Mediterranean cruises 2027 from the UK page and the Mediterranean Cruises 2027 hub both have options worth exploring.

Which Ships Sail Princess Cruises from the UK?

Four Princess ships currently sail from Southampton. Here is what each one offers.

Majestic Princess

Majestic Princess is the busiest ship, and following a 2025 refurbishment she is looking sharp. The centrepiece on deck is the SeaWalk — a glass-floor walkway cantilevered out over the ocean, so you can look straight down at the sea beneath your feet while standing mid-air above the waterline. The Hollywood Pool Club sits under a glass dome, sheltering the pool from the British weather while you are still in the Channel.

Dining runs to 16 venues, including the Crown Grill steakhouse, Sabatini’s Italian restaurant, O’Malley’s Irish Pub and the intimate Chef’s Table Lumiere experience. MedallionClass technology means food and drinks can be delivered anywhere on the ship — poolside, on your balcony, wherever you happen to be. The Sanctuary is an adults-only retreat on the top deck for anyone who wants calm away from the busier areas.

Cabin grades on Majestic Princess — full details and deck plans are here:

• Inside cabin IA — 15.4 m², sleeps up to 4, with 24-hour room service included
• Sea-view cabin O6 — 20.0 m², sleeps up to 3, natural daylight and sea views through exterior windows
• Deluxe Balcony cabin DA — 23.4 m², sleeps up to 4, more spacious than a standard balcony with a sofa bed option
• Owner’s Suite S2 — 81.7 m², sleeps up to 4, the largest suite on board and approximately twice the space of a Penthouse Suite

Sky Princess

Sky Princess stands out in the Princess fleet for the sheer proportion of balcony cabins: 81% of staterooms have a private balcony, which is one of the highest ratios across the fleet. That means most guests wake up to their own outdoor space, regardless of which cabin grade they book. The Sanctuary adults-only retreat offers private cabanas, spa treatments and light meals on a dedicated sun deck — a proper escape when you want it.

Dining includes Crown Grill, Sabatini’s Italian Trattoria and the exclusive Chef’s Table Lumiere with a galley tour included. Movies Under the Stars, the outdoor screen on the top deck, makes for good evenings at sea. See Sky Princess cabin grades and deck plans for the full layout, or browse Sky Princess sailings from Southampton directly.

• Inside cabin IA — 15.4 m², sleeps up to 4, mid-to-upper deck positions for reduced motion and lift access
• Premium Ocean-view cabin O5 — 16.0 m², sleeps 2, floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows with unobstructed sea views
• Deluxe Balcony cabin DA — 23.4 m², sleeps up to 4, larger outdoor area and wider views than a standard balcony
• Sky Suite S0 — 160.4 m², sleeps up to 5, two completely separate bedrooms each with an ensuite bathroom

Caribbean Princess

Caribbean Princess is a modified Grand-class ship carrying nearly 900 balcony staterooms — so most guests have direct access to sea air from their cabin. MedallionClass wristband technology delivers on-demand drinks and services anywhere on board, and the Movies Under the Stars screen gives the outdoor deck a different character after dark.

The Princess Theater on board hosts lavish production shows. Crown Grill and Sabatini’s Italian Trattoria cover the headline dining options, and The Sanctuary adults-only retreat is up top for quieter moments. Check Caribbean Princess cabin grades and deck plans for sizes and positions.

• Inside cabin IA — 15.1 m², sleeps up to 4, decks 10–12 positions offer calmer motion and central lift access
• Sea-view cabin OC — 16.6 m², sleeps up to 4, unobstructed sea view window
• Premium Balcony cabin B1 — 25.2 m², sleeps up to 4, private balcony with direct access to fresh air and open views
• Grand Suite S1 — 118.6 m², sleeps up to 4, the most spacious suite on board at more than twice the size of the Owner’s Suite

Regal Princess

Regal Princess is a Royal-class ship built for 4,250 guests across 19 decks, with a multi-level atrium at its centre that gives the interior a very different feel from smaller ships. The Princess Theater, Vista Lounge and Salty Dog Gastropub are among the key spaces, alongside the Crown Grill steakhouse and an International Café open around the clock. MedallionClass OceanNow delivery, Movies Under the Stars and The Sanctuary adults-only retreat round out the experience. See Regal Princess cabin grades and deck plans for the full breakdown.

Can I Get a Deal on Princess Cruises from the UK?

Discounts on these sailings range up to 44% off the price previously listed for that cabin grade on that sailing — though that maximum applies to a single departure. Most reduced sailings carry a discount of around 5%, so the headline figure is the ceiling rather than the norm. Fare types such as early-saver fares, last-minute offers and promotional bundles appear throughout the year, and our team can tell you which are live when you call. Prices start at £570 pp* for these sailings.

If you are watching the budget, it is also worth looking at all-inclusive no-fly Southampton 2027 cruises and the broader all-inclusive no-fly Southampton 2026 cruises page — both cover options where drinks, dining and gratuities may be bundled in from the start, which makes the overall cost easier to plan around. For a wider browse, cruises under £599 pp* covers the broader market if you are open to other lines too.

Sailing from Southampton: What You Need to Know

All Princess Cruises from the UK depart from Southampton. The port is served by direct trains from London Waterloo and is straightforward to reach by road from most of England — there is a reason it has been Britain’s main cruise terminal for decades. If you are coming from further afield, or want a hotel the night before to make the embarkation morning easier, we can add that in as part of a Cruise1st Package. Parking at the terminal is also available if you prefer to drive and leave your car for the duration.

For the full range of sailings leaving from this port — not just Princess — the cruises from Southampton page covers every line we sell from there. If you fancy a shorter break rather than a full voyage, 3-day mini cruises from Southampton are worth a look for a quick taste of cruising without a long commitment.

One-way sailings that end abroad — the transatlantic crossings finishing in the US or South America — do require a flight home. We can book that flight alongside any hotels you need at the far end, transfers between the port and airport, and tours if you want to spend a day or two exploring before you fly. Nothing is left hanging.

Make It a Holiday

We are cruise specialists — every offer here is a cruise or a cruise-inclusive package, not a general travel product. That specialism matters when you are choosing between cabin grades, weighing up fare inclusions, or trying to work out whether a solo balcony or a suite with a second bedroom makes more sense for your trip. Our experts have sailed these ships and know the fleet, so a phone call before you book is genuinely useful rather than just a sales call.

Beyond the cruise itself, our team can add flights, hotels, tours, transfers, train travel and insurance around your sailing — bundled as a Cruise1st Package or built to a custom plan. Everything goes on one booking, one invoice and one point of contact if anything changes. We are ABTA-bonded and ATOL-protected, and rated 4.5 out of 5 on Trustpilot across more than 7,000 reviews.

Other No-Fly Cruise Options to Consider

Princess is one of several lines sailing meaningful itineraries from UK ports, and if you are keeping your options open it is worth knowing what else is available. No-fly cruises from the UK in 2026 covers the market broadly, and mini cruises in 2027 from the UK is useful if you want something shorter. For Caribbean sailings specifically, Caribbean cruises from the UK covers the options, and if Iceland appeals, Iceland cruises from the UK is worth a look alongside the Norway sailings. No-fly Canada 2027 cruises from Southampton is another option if North America is the direction you are heading.
