2012 Classic Cruises from the UK

If you prefer a smaller more intimate ship, we offer over 40 ex-UK no-fly classic cruises from 7 different ports on the 22,000 ton Marco Polo or 17,000 ton Ocean Countess. Designed for UK passengers these more traditional cruises offer great value and personal service with only around 800 passengers on board, a wide range of public facilities and stylish entertainment.

Marco Polo is a child-free ship exclusively for adult passengers with home port the London Cruise Terminal in Tilbury, Essex. The newly refurbished Ocean Countess (originally the popular Cunard Countess) will operate from ports including Hull, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Leith, Greenock, Liverpool, and Plymouth.

Marco Polo and Ocean Countess cruises from the UK include spectacular Land of the Northern Lights and Midnight Sun voyages, cruises to the Norwegian Fjords and Spitsbergen, visits to the Baltic and Russia, to Iceland and the Northern Isles, or to the Mediterranean and Canary Islands, plus popular Round Britain and Ireland cruises.
