Understanding your flight options:

We offer a variety of fly-cruise packages, often including scheduled flights from convenient UK airports. However, you might also have the option to:

  • Change your departure airport during booking: While booking your P&O Cruise holiday on our website, you might see options for alternative airports for an additional fee. This depends on the specific cruise and availability. See below on how to complete this.
  • Book without flights: If you find a more suitable flight departing from a different airport, you can certainly book it independently and choose the cruise only option on our website. Please note that you would then be responsible for arranging your own transportation to the embarkation port.

To find out more about our fly-cruise packages, please see our article on How to book flights as part of your cruise.
