A Man called Hoss Posted October 18, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Hello all, Most of our cruises have been with P&O from Southampton. Only fly cruise was with Thompson's, also came back from South Africa with Union Castle. 1st P&O was 10 years ago....most recent was Oriana in May this year. We now fancy a change, not that we are unhappy but it does seem that the experience isn't what it was. Not done any research yet but wondering what lines operate No-Fly cruises from the UK. Now retired so we prefer getting away in the Winter. Advice please. Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They call them different things Princess , Carnival and Holland America call it EzAir. Azamara , Royal and Celebrity call it ChoiceAir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveH2508 Posted October 18, 2016 #3 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Not much no-fly cruising from UK in the winter (with the exception of P&O). Summer will see Princess do some itineraries (and your P&O loyalty points count towards Princess loyalty). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the uk in winter months you would be looking at fred olsen, cruise and maritime, and P and O, oh and Cunard I would guess. Bear in mind that Jan-April pando and fred and cunard would have their world cruises going on. As has been posted the American lines tend to be like migrating birds and come here in the summer.

tartanexile81 Posted October 18, 2016 #5 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Most cruises from Southampton in January - March tend to be longer ones involving a sea crossing e.g. to the Caribbean. P&O definitely has the best selection of Winter cruises. Cruise and Maritime / Fred Olsen offer even longer trips and if you think standards are slipping at P&O you wouldn't want to try either of them IMO. Cunard does World cruises. The other option would be a leg of a world cruise but it may be like me you will not fly at all so that may not be an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsrdsrdsr Posted October 18, 2016 #6 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Fred Olsen and Cruises & Maritime both sail from various ports around the country, including Newcastle. Fred do a popular line in Northern Lights cruises to the fjords and points north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could consider taking a ferry over to the continent and drive to or take the train to a European port. spend a few days before and after your cruise to extend your holiday. Hope this helps. Happy cruising. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy cruising. :) OP Train to Kings Cross, cross the road, Eurostar to Paris or Brussels then opens up Europe destinations by train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Eglesbrech Posted October 19, 2016 #10 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Hebridean cruises from Greenock or Oban start from March. Not too far to drive or get a train from your area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
