CRUISES DEPARTING FROM THE UK

See the world and discover a collection of beautiful coastal destinations on an ocean cruise with Newmarket Holidays. Set sail on a voyage across the Atlantic to the Caribbean, cruise into the Baltic or embark upon a round-the-world odyssey.

Set off on journeys north to the British Isles, the Norwegian Fjords or the Baltic Cities, or south along the coasts of France, Portugal and Spain, across to North Africa or out to the sun-kissed islands of the Atlantic.
