Cruises which set sail from the United Kingdom are becoming more and more popular with UK travellers.  It is estimated that four out of every ten cruises booked by a Briton this year will set sail from a UK port.  The Mediterranean remains the most popular cruise destination for ships that depart from UK ports, while cruises to Northern European destinations have now overtaken Caribbean cruises in popularity, and account for the second largest number of cruises booked in the UK.
 
Southampton is the largest and most established cruise ship port in the UK.  Most Mediterranean cruises depart from Southampton, as do most transatlantic voyages.  Dover is the next most popular port for cruise ships, and has grown in popularity over the last couple of years.
 
Sea travellers can be sure of comfortable and spacious accommodation, excellent dining choices, nonstop onboard activities, fantastic nightly entertainment, and adventurous and fun programmes at each port of call when they book a cruise with any of the established cruise lines.  With many lines offering all-inclusive packages, cruises are one of the fastest growing and most cost effective holiday options in the travel industry today.
 
Cruises offer exceptional levels of personalized service, and the highly trained staff will do their utmost to ensure that each passenger has a memorable cruise experience.  Many cruise lines also offer individuals the opportunity to tailor their onboard experience so as to create a dream holiday. 

Arrangements can also be made for the cruise ship to host special events such as a milestone, anniversary, birthday, reunion, honeymoon, or wedding and in most cases the staff will be able to accommodate just about any special requests that the event coordinator might have.
