For cruises that visit or depart from England, click  .
Cruises to England frequently visit London, which is served by the port cities of Southampton and Dover to the south and Harwich to the east. City tours in the British capital visit major attractions such as Big Ben and Parliament, Westminster Abbey, the Tower of London and St. Paul's Cathedral. Cruise passengers can also spend time at the British Museum and the National Gallery or in one of the city's well-maintained parks.
Elsewhere in England, cruise ships call at Falmouth on the southwest coast of Cornwall, a region that's awash in Arthurian legend -- Tintagel Castle is said to be the birthplace of King Arthur. The Channel Islands, located between England and France, have a unique culture that combines traditions from both countries. Explore Beatles haunts while in Liverpool, or the Norman castle and medieval cathedral of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne.
England is featured on Northern Europe cruises, which sail from late May through August. Some ships sail itineraries that concentrate entirely on the British Isles. London often serves as a starting or ending point for Mediterranean cruises and trans-Atlantic crossings.
If you must fly a very long distance to reach your port of departure, we suggest that you arrive at the port city at least one or two days in advance of your England cruise. This will give you time to rest and get oriented before boarding the ship. Most cruise lines offer pre-cruise hotel packages.
