Cruises and cruise lines operating from Mainland UK ports

[Javert1969]

Hi - what is the easiest way to check which cruises are available from UK mainland ports across all cruise lines?

 

I guess most of them are from Southampton but is there a thread or a site that I can see all UK mainland departing cruises by date or suchlike?

Have a look at www.cruisetimetables.com   Go to the ports of departure button and then look for the UK.  Lists all ports used, not just Southampton

99% of the ships using Southampton are cruises which turn around (ie start and/or finish) there, just a tiny few are on a port-of-call visit.

And the same for Dover

Virgin, Marella, Fred Olsen and others turn around at other UK ports - places like Portsmouth, Liverpool, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Tilbury, occasionally Bristol (Avonmouth).

But many other cruise ships calling at those ports are on a port-of-call visit, ie cruises which don't start or finish there..

 

But your best bet is to visit the websites of cruise-specialist travel agents. We're not permitted to name agents on Cruise Critic, but just google "cruise specialists UK"

On most (all?) of their websites, you can narrow down available cruises by quoting things like date/s,  destinations, cruise lines ................. and "Sailing from" 🙂
