Discover the joys of Fly-cruise holidays

A fly-cruise is just the thing for those who love to start their holiday by soaking in the sun straight away. With a choice of regional airports to fly from, a fly-cruise means you can sit back and relax the moment you step off the plane whilst also getting to experience our exceptional on-board service. Then, once your relaxing cruise holiday is over, you’ll be transferred back to the airport for your flight home. 

This depends on your destination and whether you’re travelling on a chartered or a scheduled flight. Not sure which one applies to you? You can find out here

We like to make things as easy as possible for you, which is why we’re pleased to offer our seamless service known as ‘bonded baggage.’ On selected Caribbean chartered flights, this service means that once you’ve dropped your luggage off at the airport, you won’t see it again until it’s outside your cabin. Just make sure all your bags have the P&O Cruises luggage label attached before you check in at the airport and we’ll do the rest.

Scheduled flights are a little different but our representatives will be on hand to make sure the process is just as seamless for you. On a scheduled flight, after arriving at your destination, you’ll need to pass through immigration, collect your luggage from Baggage Reclaim then head to Arrivals. If you booked your flight through P&O Cruises and are arriving on the day of sailing (or you’ve booked a hotel through us) one of our representatives will meet you and give you instructions on joining your coach transfer to the cruise terminal.

If you’ve arranged your own flights or are planning to get to your starting destination a few days before you sail, then you’ll need to organise your own transport to the cruise terminal.

Baggage arrangements for your flight back to the UK will be confirmed during your cruise. Your baggage is collected from outside your cabin the night before you disembark. 

Yes, both flights and transfers are included in the price of your holiday. However, the airport you’re allocated varies depending on what cruise you’ve booked. If you wish to change the airport you’ll be flying from, a supplement may apply. 

With a fly-cruise, you get the best of both worlds – comfy air travel and sailing in style. Fly-cruises are a great way of exploring each exciting corner of a particular country and getting to your destination that bit quicker with less time spent at sea. But it also means you still get to experience the magic on board with exciting entertainment, delicious dining options and the opportunity for some retail therapy with our on-board shops. 

There are so many benefits to a fly-cruise, it’s hard to pick just one! But, if we were going to choose, it would have to be being able to step into the sun almost straight away. With a fly-cruise, you have the opportunity to reach far away countries and have more time to explore them too. As soon as you’re off that plane, it’s holiday o’clock with a rich itinerary awaiting you. 

Most of the time, yes. However, if for some reason your flight is unable to meet the cruise ship, we’ll let you know and overnight accommodation will be included in your holiday. We’ll take care of everything so that you don’t have to. 

Due to constant changes each year, we’re unable to specify which airlines we use. However, once your flights are confirmed, you’ll be able to see them in My P&O Cruises.
