This was my thoughts. I will board outside the Schengen and only transit Europe. An interesting read here https://www.theolivepress.es/spain-news/2024/02/01/will-a-cruise-holiday-in-europe-count-towards-my-90-day-schengen-limit-how-some-brits-are-avoiding-the-post-brexit-travel-rule-amid-utter-confusion-among-eu-and-uk-authorities/#:~:text=“As a general rule%2C calls,be registered by the authorities.”

Let me clarify my question. I want to do a three day trip Southampton to Amsterdam return. Nothing to do with my world cruise. I have spent 90 days in the Schengen. Can I go? The legislation on entering the Schengen from Third Countries purely as transit is different than entering and staying in the Schengen. References to views would be appreciated

Do you have references for this? There is conflicting views on sea days and ports. Also the legislation states that as you transit the EU on a cruise ship there are different rules.

I know. But if you have done 90 days in the last 180 you have to consider the rules.

From reading posts here I am trying to clarify the Schengen Rules. 1. We are leaving the UK (EU defined Third Country) and sailing around the world calling at Madiera. My understanding is as a Non EU citizen departing a Third Country we are not subject to Schengen days. 2. So If we fly to Malta and take a 7 day cruise we start and end in the EU therefore subject to Schengen rules 3. What if we sail from the UK to Europe and return to the UK? My thinking is the same as 1
