London - When you sail from a UK port, your holiday begins the moment you check in.
Instead of hanging around in a crowded airport lounge, you could be exploring your ship before enjoying a glass of champagne at a sail away party.
Long gone are the days when no-fly opportunities were confined to a handful of British ships. Nowadays there’s a big choice of international cruise lines in the market.
About 600 cruises departed from the UK last year, accounting for almost half of all cruise holidays taken by Britons.
A huge array of destinations is on offer - and voyages begin from no fewer than nine different home ports.
To make sure you choose the best options for you, visit The London Cruise Show at Olympia on March 22 and 23. It’ll be the perfect placed to explore all the alternatives on offer. - Mail on Sunday
