Travel Trends

Why it’s trending: No-fly cruises from UK ports like Southampton, Dover, and Tilbury are on the rise as travellers seek convenience and sustainability. Skipping the airport cuts hassle for families, makes travel easier for cruisers, and reduces the carbon footprint - all while offering the same world-class cruise experience right from the UK.

Why it’s trending: British travellers love value, and cruise lines are stepping up with all-inclusive pricing. Drinks, Wi-Fi, tips, and even excursions are bundled in, taking the guesswork out of budgets and making holidays smoother and more enjoyable.

Why it’s trending: Expedition cruising is booming as UK travellers seek adventure with a touch of luxury. Small ships and expert guides open up remote destinations like the Arctic and Galápagos, offering intimate, once-in-a-lifetime experiences far from the usual tourist trail.

Why it’s trending: Travellers want more than just a getaway – they’re seeking meaning, connection, and stories to share. With wellness retreats, culinary voyages, and themed sailings, cruises are evolving into richer, more experiential journeys.

Why it’s trending: Younger travellers are reshaping cruising, seeking wellness, flexibility, and authentic experiences over tradition. Boutique, luxury, and river cruises stand out with immersive itineraries and a personalised touch.
