Best value per night

Every route by value

A 11-night sailing at US$11199 costs a lot more per night than a 82-night one at the same price. This table takes the cheapest date on every ship and route and ranks them by fare per night, which is the fairest way to compare trips of different lengths. The median across the whole calendar is US$182 a night.

Frequently asked questions

Which cruise lines sail from Southampton?
12 lines have sailings on this site, led by Cunard, Princess Cruises, MSC Cruises and 9 more, 718 departures in all. Cunard runs the most, with 241. P&O Cruises, Fred. Olsen, AIDA and TUI Cruises also use the port, without fares here.

Does P&O sail from Southampton?
Yes. P&O Cruises has 37 calls on the port's schedule to Wed, 31 Mar 2027, the most of any line we don't price. The agency we take fares from doesn't sell P&O from here, so our P&O page shows its ships, dates and terminals, without fares. P&O Cruises or a UK agent can quote a price.

What is the cheapest cruise out of Southampton?
Among the fares we checked on 2026-11-02, the lowest is US$129 per person for MSC Preziosa on Fri, 23 Apr 2027, a 2-night trip. That works out at US$65 a night. The cheap cruises page ranks the rest.

Why are the fares in US dollars?
Our fares come from Cruisebound, a US cruise retailer that sells in the US and Canada, in dollars. If you are booking from the UK, use them to compare one sailing with another, then get a price in pounds from the line or a UK travel agent.

What is the cheapest month to cruise from Southampton?
April 2027 has the lowest starting fare among those we checked on 2026-11-02, US$129 per person. Fares change daily, so use this as a guide rather than a promise.

Are there short or weekend cruises from Southampton?
20 sailings are 3 nights or shorter. 488 sailings leave on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday. See weekend cruises.

Do I need a passport to cruise from Southampton?
Plan on it. Nearly every sailing from Southampton calls outside the UK, and what you need depends on your nationality and where the ship goes. Our documents guide has the details, and your line's booking documents have the final word.

Which terminal will my ship use?
It depends on the sailing, not just the line. Southampton has five terminals: QEII, Ocean, City, Horizon and Mayflower. Each sailing shows its terminal from the schedule Associated British Ports publishes, which ran to Wed, 31 Mar 2027 when we last read it. Later than that, go by your cruise documents.

Are there all-inclusive cruises from Southampton?
Some fares include far more than others. Regent Seven Seas includes drinks, gratuities, Wi-Fi and shore excursions, and Silversea sells an all-inclusive fare on its Classic voyages. Fred. Olsen and MSC include gratuities, and P&O sells all-inclusive packages from £49 a person a day, checked 1 November 2026.

How far ahead is the Southampton schedule published?
Our sailing list runs to November 2028. The last few months are thinner because not every line has published that far ahead yet. The port's own schedule of every ship runs about five months ahead.
