World Cruises from Southampton, 2027
Southampton, the cruise port for London, is where the British world cruises start. In 2019 this page listed Cunard's Queen Mary 2: 106 days from Southampton on 10 January 2019, with fares from US$21,994. Queen Mary 2 is due a major refit in early 2027, so Cunard's world voyage that January goes on Queen Victoria. Three lines leave Southampton in January 2027.
Cunard: Queen Victoria
Queen Victoria leaves Southampton on 10 January 2027 for a 109-night world voyage and comes back to Southampton. She sails west by way of New York, Los Angeles, Honolulu and Sydney and comes home round the Cape, with overnight stays in New York, Los Angeles, Sydney and Cape Town. In September 2026 the UK agent Iglu Cruise listed inside cabins from £12,870 a person, outside cabins from £14,695 and balconies from £18,845.
P&O Cruises: Arcadia
Arcadia leaves Southampton on 6 January 2027 for 106 nights, through the Panama Canal to San Francisco, Honolulu and Sydney, with overnight stays in San Francisco and Sydney. Iglu Cruise listed inside cabins from £12,911 a person in September 2026.
Fred. Olsen: Borealis
Fred. Olsen's Borealis leaves Southampton on 21 January 2027 for 98 nights on a voyage the line calls "Around the World with Hawaii and Japan". It crosses the Atlantic to the Caribbean, goes through the Panama Canal and spends four days in Hawaii. Then come five ports in Japan, timed for the late plum blossom, followed by Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Mauritius and South Africa, and it heads home by way of Cape Verde and Spain. Fares start at £11,499 a person.
That is the cheapest of the three, and the shortest. Per night, all three come to about £120 in an inside cabin.
Finishing in Southampton
Two world cruises from Florida end in England. Oceania's Vista leaves Miami on 6 January 2027 and arrives in London 180 days later, and the Viking World Cruise from Fort Lauderdale ends at Greenwich. Both are on our world cruises from Florida page, and if you live in Britain they mean you only need a one-way flight to start.
All the other world cruises, from Florida, California and Italy, are listed on our cruises around the world page. For help deciding, see how to choose a world cruise and world cruises from California.
