Enjoy a luxury cruise from the UK in 2014
The demand for no-fly voyages has soared in recent years so it’s no surprise that our ultra-luxury cruise lines would have some tempting ex-UK itineraries on offer too!
In our recently released Luxury Cruise Collection we featured 5 specific no-fly luxury cruises departing in 2014 that we felt were likely to be popular and today we wanted to share them with you, our blog readers.
We have three voyages departing from Southampton and two from London, Tower Bridge. Both ports of call easily accessed by us all regardless of where in the UK we live. The itineraries on offer range from the best of what the British Isles has to offer, like Dublin, all the way through to the picturesque vineyards in Bordeaux and the mystery and intrigue of St Petersburg, Russia.
If the idea of avoiding an airport wasn’t enough to temp you then how about a FREE door-to-door chauffeur service? If you live within 75-miles of the embarkation port for your selected voyage then we will transfer you to and from the port, privately and free of charge!
We do expect these itineraries to be incredibly popular, after all what better way to explore than via an ultra-luxury cruise ship and from the convenience of a UK port.

Another rather tempting British Isles voyage, this time aboard Silver Cloud and sailing from London.
