We had the good fortune to do our British Isles cruise on the former Ocean Princess. Such a sweet experience sailing on a ship whose listed capacity was IIRC 670. COVID completely changed our outlook (not being able to cruise for 2+ years). When we saw the British Isles cruises on the Regal for summer 2024, we went ahead and booked. I have been buried in planning for it the past couple of weeks and I think that we have come up with an amazing touring itinerary for pre-cruise, each port, and post-cruise.
Fun Facts about Royal Princess:
You’ll find that cruise ships journeying the British Isles are offering something a little bit different. For example, Ambassador Cruises is running a special Jubilee Cruise in honor of the Queen’s Jubilee this year. This gives you the chance to experience something you’ll never again get the chance to experience, making it completely unique.

Most of the rest of the time you will be far enough out to sea to not see a lot. Not sure if this happened to you, but almost all of the sailings on the Princess Crown were canceled, as they are redeploying that ship to the Caribbean and replacing her with the Sky. There were 20 sailings moved to the Sky and 2 sailings to the Regal. Please check the attached photo, listing all off the pertinent information.
Cruises from Southampton
Until it was popularized by the 1992 Olympics, Barcelona was a hidden gem amidst Europe’s diverse landscapes. Now it’s widely recognized for its architectural masterpieces and spirited customs. Our departure ports are as iconic as the destinations on each itinerary. Arrive a few days early to your Transatlantic cruise or spend time upon arrival exploring the wonders that lie within these cities.

If you already live here, it’s the perfect way to see your own country through an entirely new lens. Here’s my take on the pros and cons of cruising around the British Isles. Let Princess pick you up from the airport and take you directly to your ship or hotel when you arrive, even if you didn't book your airfare through us. To the OP @devolve I highly recommend for your stop in Liverpool, do a Lakes District tour. Our cruise went to the Orkney Islands as, from memory, they exchanged that stop with Glasgow. We did a ship tour to Paris from Le Havre and thought it was a waste of time as the drive to Paris was about 2 hours and we only had time to the see the sights from a wet bus window.

Dock in Invergordon, the gateway to Inverness and legendary Loch Ness, or become acquainted with the lesser-known islands like the Isle of Man, Isles of Scilly, and Shetland and Channel Islands. The British Isles are a tapestry of cultures and history, each with its unique charm. Admire the Neoclassical architecture of this charming port city as you stroll past historic gems like the Tudor House or Saint Michael’s Church. Shop at the ultra-modern Westquay, home to an assortment of shops and restaurants.
In the post below you can see photos of a ship docked in Greenock starboard side to the dock. Not much to see from the ship in Cobh, just a rail station and cliff. In Greenock we experienced a bag pipe welcome both times we were there and had a view of the working docks. One side will give you a view of the dock, the other a view across the channel to the Titanic dock and some city skyline.

It was closely followed by Cork, where we hired a very entertaining private guide. (He recommended that we skip the Blarney Stone because we would fight crowds of tourists, and we didn't feel deprived.). Overall, I had a truly wonderful experience on our British Isles cruise onboard Royal Princess. The ship uses a lot of very sophisticated radar technology to make sure the optimum safety and precision of everything onboard.
On a cruise from Southampton, find your passion amidst the canals of Italy or on the sun-drenched shores of Greece. Or walk in the footsteps of gladiators past at the Colosseum, and explore the archeological ruins of Pompeii — a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

On an British Isles cruise with Princess, indulge in a British Pub lunch with delicacies like Bangers & Mash and Shepherd’s Pie.
Everyone is looking forward to some great shore excursions when the cruise ship docks at a new port. It is one of the main activities when you go cruising unless you are a DIY person who prefers to do everything at your own pace and arrange it yourself. Travel through time as you sail to Canada and New England on a cruise from Southampton.
