The best no-fly cruises

There are so many reasons to book a no-fly cruise. If you're trying to reduce your carbon footprint, or simply wish to avoid the hassle of air travel, then no-fly cruises are a great option.

There are so many advantages to taking a no-fly cruise from the UK. Firstly, you don't have to deal with the hassle of air travel, and the baggage limits and restrictions. Most cruise lines allow you to take far more luggage than you'd be able to take on a flight, and some have no weight restrictions at all.

Secondly, travelling by ship also allows you to wake up in a new destination every day, and to absorb the wonderful scenery passing by as you sail. And if you choose a cruise departing from the UK, you can enjoy a wonderfully relaxing start to your holiday by spending a night in a charming hotel near the port.

Thirdly, and one of our favourite things about a cruise is that you can visit multiple bucket-list destinations in one holiday and discover new treasures on your way. The best cruises let you explore places which are difficult to reach on foot.
