Cruises From Newcastle 2025/2026
Cruises From Newcastle
Cruises from Newcastle are a great option if you live in the North East of England. Far less distance to travel to join the ship (unlike driving all the way down to Southampton). A smaller cruise terminal to get lost in. But it does mean options are a bit more limited for 2025 and 2026. If the options do seem a little limited, why not consider fly cruises from Newcastle, meaning you fly to your destination first, and then join the cruise ship. Although you will have to go through the hassle of an airport, it's only Newcastle which is a bit smaller than others, and it does then offer you much more choice, joining your ship in places like Palma de Mallorca, Rome and Miami.
