Southeast Asia Cruises from Southampton

Where Do These Sailings Go?

These are long-distance, ocean voyages — the shortest runs 41 nights and the median sits at 106 nights. The vast majority sail as part of a world cruise, with a smaller number heading to South Africa. If you want to spend weeks at sea, crossing oceans and waking up to a different part of the world each morning, this is where to start. All sailings depart from Southampton, so if you live in Britain, you can board without setting foot in an airport.

Round Trips and One-Way Voyages — What’s the Difference?

These sailings are a mix of round trips and one-way voyages, so it is worth checking the itinerary shape before you book. Some voyages return to Southampton; others end in ports such as Singapore, Hong Kong, or Hamburg. On a one-way sailing, you will need a flight home — and we can arrange that for you, along with hotels either side and transfers, so the whole journey is handled in one place.

Which Cruise Lines Sail Southeast Asia from Southampton?

Three cruise lines operate these departures, each with a distinct character. Cunard leads the way, with the largest share of sailings. P&O Cruises offers another strong option for British travellers, with sailings aboard Arcadia. Fred Olsen Cruise Lines rounds out the choice for those who prefer a smaller, more intimate ship. There is also one sailing available as a Cruise1st Package, which bundles flights, hotels and transfers with your cruise.

Cunard: Queen Anne, Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth

Cunard carries more sailings here than any other line. Across the three Queens, the experience ranges from classic Art Deco grandeur to the freshest ship in the fleet. Queen Anne — launched in 2024 and Cunard’s newest vessel — brings 15 restaurants including Sir Samuel’s steakhouse and Aji Wa Japanese dining, along with the Mareel Wellness Spa, which stretches across an entire upper deck and includes a Himalayan Salt Sauna, cold therapy room, hydrotherapy pool and the glass-domed Pavilion pool venue. If you want the newest ship on a world cruise, Queen Anne’s cabins and deck plans are worth a look first.

Queen Victoria is home to the first Royal Court Theatre at sea to feature private boxes, where West End-calibre productions play nightly. Her Queens Room ballroom — the largest at sea — hosts Cunard’s famous Gala evenings with a live orchestra, and white-gloved afternoon tea is served daily. Dining runs across three tiers: Britannia, Princess Grill and Queen’s Grill. See Queen Victoria’s cabins and deck plans to compare grades.

Queen Elizabeth shares that tiered dining structure and the same Art Deco sensibility — glittering chandeliers, sweeping staircases and a grand lobby that evokes ocean travel at its most formal. Her cabin and deck plan page covers every grade in detail. For last-minute availability on any of these ships, see last-minute Cunard deals.

Cunard Fares: What’s Included?

Cunard offers two main fare types on these sailings. The standard Cunard Fare gives you the choice of your stateroom number, priority for upgrades, a low 15% deposit with flexible balance payment, the ability to amend your booking up to the balance due date, and complimentary shuttle buses at ports. Add-on bundles include options such as onboard credit with drinks, coach transfers and car parking — so you can tailor what is included to how you are getting to Southampton. The Saver fare is built for those who want the lowest possible price and are happy to take a pre-allocated stateroom and pay in full on booking.

P&O Arcadia: World Cruises with British Warmth

P&O Cruises’ Arcadia sails 3 of these itineraries — and she is a ship designed for long voyages. The Palladium is an impressive 3-tier theatre at the heart of the ship, Marco Pierre White’s Ocean Grill restaurant brings serious dining to sea, and the onboard hydro-therapy pool gives you somewhere to properly unwind mid-voyage. For a P&O world cruise, see also P&O Arcadia World Cruises. Arcadia’s cabins and deck plans are available if you want to compare grades before calling.

Cabin Grades on These Sailings

On a voyage that may last more than three months, cabin choice matters more than on a short break. The grades below cover the range available across the ships — from a compact interior to a full suite with a private butler.

Arcadia Cabins

• Inside Cabin OA — 19 m², sleeping 2. Noticeably roomier than standard inside grades — 2 m² more floor space for the same price point.
• Sea View Cabin LB — 17 m², sleeping 2. Natural daylight and an unobstructed sea view through a window — the essential step up from an inside cabin on a long voyage.
• Deluxe Balcony Cabin EA — 24 m², sleeping 2. A private balcony means your own outdoor space for fresh sea air and breakfast, without sharing public deck areas.
• Suite B1 — 56 m², sleeping 2. Dedicated butler service included — personalised attention throughout your voyage that no other cabin category receives.

Queen Anne Cabins

• Britannia Inside cabin IA — 13.7 m², sleeping 2. A dedicated cabin steward is available 24 hours, with daily turndown service included.
• Britannia Deluxe Ocean-view cabin EA — 21.9 m², sleeping 2. Around 3 m² more living space than standard ocean-view grades, with a separate seating area.
• Britannia Club Balcony cabin A1 — 21.9 m², sleeping 2. Exclusive access to the Britannia Club Restaurant with a reserved table — a more intimate dining experience than the main restaurant.
• Queens Grill Grand Suite Q1 — 133.8 m², sleeping 2. The largest suite category on board — more than twice the size of the Master Suite — with Queens Grill dining included.

Are There Any Discounts on These Sailings?

A number of these sailings carry a reduction from the price previously listed for that cabin grade — up to 6% on the best-reduced departures, though most discounted sailings are closer to 2% off. These are not sweeping sale prices, but on a voyage priced from £4,633 pp*, even a modest saving is worth taking. Prices are per person based on 2 people sharing. Prices and any discounts shown were checked on 14 October 2026.

Make It a Complete Holiday

As cruise specialists for UK travellers, we can put the entire trip on one booking. For a round-trip sailing that returns to Southampton, we can add a hotel the night before, train travel to the port, parking, tours and insurance. For a one-way voyage ending in Singapore, Hong Kong or elsewhere, we arrange the flight home and any hotels at the far end too — so nothing is left for you to sort separately. That is what a Cruise1st Package does: cruise, flights, hotels, transfers and more, bundled as one holiday or built to your specification.

If you are exploring Asia cruises more broadly — or considering a shorter departure first — you can also browse Southeast Asia cruises from the UK or look at all cruises to find the right length and itinerary. For P&O sailings specifically, P&O Cruises from Southampton covers their full programme from the port.
