How to Plan a Budget Cruise from the UK

Cruising doesn’t have to cost a fortune — especially if you sail from UK ports. Here’s how to save big:

1. Book Off-Season

• Travel in shoulder months like April or October

2. Use UK-Based Departure Ports

• Southampton, Dover, and Liverpool = no flights needed

3. Watch for Last-Minute Deals

• Many cruise sites offer slashed fares 2–4 weeks before departure

4. Bring Your Own Extras

• Avoid drink packages; bring refillable bottles

Cruise Tip: Try mini cruises (2–5 days) before committing to a long haul!
