Helpful Tips for England Cruises
The England cruise itinerary you should choose depends on what ports of call you want to visit and what else you want to experience on your cruise. All of our cruises to England include additional countries, whether they’re located in the United Kingdom (England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland) or beyond.
For Liverpool, you can take a transatlantic cruise from Florida to Dublin, Ireland, that stops at Liverpool as well as the gorgeous Azores islands along the way. Most of our Ireland cruise also stop in Liverpool.
If you’re lusting after seeing the white cliffs of Dover, look for cruise itineraries that sail from Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Many of these stop in Dover before or after visiting other ports of call around the British Isles before returning to Amsterdam. Our Ireland, England, and Scotland cruise itineraries on Celebrity Reflection that sail from Dublin also usually make a port of call stop in Dover.
Depending on your England cruise itinerary you may visit only Liverpool or Dover, but if you’re looking for more English ports of call, our British Isles Cruises out of Amsterdam nearly always visit both Liverpool and Dover. On these itineraries you’ll also occasionally find an additional port of call in Portland, located in the county of Dorset on England’s southwest coast.
As for Southampton, you’ll find that port of call at the start or end of numerous types of northern Europe itineraries. We offer England cruise itineraries that sail from Southampton, which is located on the southern coast of England and is the closest cruise port to London. Embarking from Southampton and finishing your cruise there makes it convenient to do one of our city stays in London. During your City Stay, you’ll have ample time to explore London while having expert-led tours arranged for you and staying in Celebrity-approved hotels that are luxuriously appointed and conveniently situated for optimal sightseeing ease.
Since Southampton serves as either a starting or ending point for cruises, you’ll rarely find it combined with other England cruise ports. Instead, use it to give yourself more time to explore London before or after one of these exciting itineraries: Scandinavia and Russia, Norwegian Fjords, Canaries and Azores, Western Mediterranean, Transatlantic, and Northern Europe Capital Cities.
Cruises to England typically sail during the spring and summer months. Pack accordingly for a rainy climate, though you should expect some sunshine and warm weather during that time as well.
