Cruise From the UK - Not all South Down
Dover, Southampton and Harwich seem to be the UK ports most favored starting lines cruises. But what about you poor people who do not live anywhere near these ports? Having to fly, drive or take the bus or train to get there easily can add an extra day for holidays and not everyone has the time. To help out, I trawl the internet to find alternative UK ports of departure for 2008. Most are round, with the occasional disembarking at another UK port or flying back to the UK, all of which are observed. So take a look. You might be surprised where you can go.

According to its owners, this boat is the only vessel on the high seas in the world that still retains the title of Royal Mail Ship. Like carrying passengers also supplies goods to the island of St. Helena. If you want something a little different, there are two cruises that depart from Portland and finish in Cape Town, or you can make the trip in reverse.
