Encouraging travellers to get planning their next cruise, Princess Cruises is launching a British Isles cruise sale.

The cruise line is running the sale from Wednesday 29 July to Monday 10 August, and fares will be from as little as £649 per person.

Available from tomorrow, 15 voyages will feature in the sale, with a choice of duration between eight or twelve nights, departing between April and October 2021.

On-sale cruises will sail roundtrip from Southampton on the 3,080 ship, Crown Princess, which will be based in the UK between April and October next year.

Fares start at £649 for an eight-night cruise and rise to £799 for a twelve-night cruise. Passengers will be able to add a third and fourth guest from £149 per person – a great deal for families.

Itineraries available on the sale include an eight-night Ireland and Scotland cruise departing 2 May 2021, calling at Portland, Guernsey, Cork, Dublin, Glasgow and Holyhead.

With prices at £649 per person and £149 per person for a third and fourth guest, families could travel for £499 per person when sharing a balcony cabin.

The 12-night ‘British Isles with Cobh Overnight’ cruise calls at Guernsey, Cork (overnight), Dublin, Glasgow, Invergordon, Edinburgh and Le Havre. Prices start from £999 per person, at £199 per person for a third and fourth guest. This cruise departs on 19 June 2021.

All cruises take place on Princess Cruises’ Crown Princess ship, which is equipped with OceanMedallion technology.

Vice president of Princess Cruises UK and Europe, Tony Roberts, said:

“We are thrilled to offer our guests some great value deals for those seeking a fantastic holiday option a little closer to home.”

With the coronavirus pandemic still causing travel uncertainty, many cruise lines are starting to push their British Isles cruise itineraries, giving Britons the chance to get away without the trouble of travelling abroad.

Expedition cruise line Hurtigruten recently launched a series of short-break mini-cruises around the UK scheduled for September. The cruises will take place on MS Roald Amundsen, the world’s first hybrid expedition cruise ship.
