When to sail from London

Every departure we hold, grouped by the month it leaves rather than by the year, so two years of calendar answer the question once. June carries the most departures at 26. October has the lowest median fare per night, at $187. These are medians of the starting fares we checked on 2026-11-09, not a forecast.

Best value per night

Every route by value

A 14-night sailing at $18098 costs a lot more per night than a 28-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 $400 a night.

Ranked on starting fares checked 2026-11-09, divided by the number of nights. This shows how far the money goes, not how good the ship is, and we don't hold ratings or reviews. The port count is there so you can weigh a cheap trip with lots of sea days against a busier one. Fares change, so check the current price with the cruise line.

Before you sail

Three things catch people out here: "London" can mean a port in Kent, well outside the city, most sailings from Greenwich and Tilbury end somewhere else, and US and Canadian visitors need a UK travel authorisation before they fly.

Frequently asked questions

Which cruise lines sail from London?
6 lines have sailings on this site, 157 departures in all, led by Holland America Line, Viking, Seabourn and 3 more. Holland America Line runs the most, with 63. Other lines, among them Ambassador from Tilbury and Saga from Dover, sail from London too, but the agency we take fares from does not sell them, so they are not listed.

Which port does my cruise leave from: Dover, Tilbury or Greenwich?
It depends on the line and the sailing, and every row on this site says which. Dover has 95 sailings (Holland America Line, Seabourn, Carnival and 2 more), Tilbury has 22 sailings (Viking and Azamara), and Greenwich has 40 sailings (Viking and Seabourn). Our guide to London's cruise ports compares the three, and each has its own page: Dover, Tilbury, and Greenwich.

When do cruises from London sail?
The schedule we track runs from Wed, Mar 31, 2027 to Fri, Oct 27, 2028, and nothing on sale leaves London before then. Most sailings leave between spring and fall; June has the most. Our season guide goes month by month.

What is the cheapest cruise from London?
Among the fares we checked on 2026-11-09, the lowest is $783 per person for Carnival Sunshine from Dover on Sun, May 30, 2027, a 10-night trip. That works out at $78 a night. The cheap cruises page ranks the rest.

Are cruises from London round trips?
74 of the 157 are round trips, all of them from Dover. The other 83 are one-way, which includes every Viking sailing from Greenwich and Tilbury: they end in places such as Bergen, Belfast, Barcelona or Stockholm, so you fly home from there. Our guide to flying in for a cruise covers the flights.

Do I need a passport and an ETA to cruise from London?
You need a passport, and US and Canadian citizens also need a UK Electronic Travel Authorisation to enter the UK. What else you need depends on where the ship goes. Our documents guide has the details from gov.uk and the lines, and your line's booking documents have the final word.

How do I get from Heathrow to the cruise port?
For Dover, by train through central London, or by car or your line's transfer, and it is a long trip. Greenwich and Tilbury are closer. Our Heathrow to Dover guide compares the options, and the port pages link each port's own guide.
