Jet set cruise. Take off on a fly-cruise with Princess Cruises from across the UK

Flying to join your cruise is an ideal way to expand your holiday, cutting out the travel time from the UK to the heart of Europe from two or three days to just a few hours.

To help you get away quicker, Princess Cruises has partnered with Jet2.com to offer a solid range of regional flights from Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle, and Glasgow, in addition to London with fares from £350pp roundtrip including luggage. So, no matter where you live, you’ll be able to jet off in a jiffy.

Why people love flying to join a cruise ship
Apart from the fact that there’s something different about shopping for perfume when it’s on the other side of airport security, there are many great reasons to hop on a plane the next time you want to set sail.

Flying has shrunk the world unlike any other mode of transport, and while they haven’t yet designed planes with theatres, spas, and swimming pools, a short haul flight from your local airport could get you to the gangway quicker than driving to Southampton, depending on where you live.

It also means your holiday starts right away; as soon as you step off the plane, when that whoosh of warm, holiday air washes over you. Many people actually choose to fly out a few days early to take some extra moments enjoying the home port city.

Princess Cruises makes flying to join your cruise so simple
With the launch of its new partnership with regional flight specialist Jet2.com, Princess Cruises is making your cruise onboard Majestic Princess even easier than ever.

All of the luggage arrangements are taken care of for you, so you’ll be flying with a generous 22kg allowance in the hold, plus a further 10kg hand luggage included in the price – everything’s included in the fly-cruise package, so you know the price upfront.

And, of course, your package holiday – a cruise and flight combo becomes a package – will benefit from full ABTA and ATOL protection, should you need it.

Where can a fly-cruise take you?
Flying from Jet2.com's wide range of regional airports, you’ll zip right to the heart of Europe in less time than it took Frodo Baggins to destroy a family heirloom.

That means that the gems of Barcelona, southern France, and western Italy are all waiting for you, with fascinating excursions that challenge you to embrace your adventurous side, or indulge you with food and culture.

Further to the east, the Mediterranean seamlessly morphs into the gorgeous Adriatic Sea, with ports in Italy, Croatia, and Malta all high on many bucket lists.

Further yet, the Adriatic transforms into the turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea, where you’ll be island hopping around Greece and Turkey, just a few hours from Manchester – glistening holiday sunshine has never been so conveniently close to home.

The Princess Cruises experience awaits
Of course, your journey to join your cruise makes a big impact, but the magic really happens once you’ve stepped onboard. Making the most of her residence in Europe, Majestic Princess – with Princess Cruises’ famed MedallionClass® experience – brings together the comfort and elegance of cruising with next-generation technology for a seamless experience, and easy-contact with home.

Enjoy live music in the Piazza-style atrium, or relax and swim in the Hollywood Pool Club – an indoor pool reserved just for the adults.

In addition to Princess Cruises’ signature restaurants, Majestic Princess boasts two speciality restaurants with exquisitely designed menus by Michelin-star chefs. If you’re a fan of Chinese food, you are going to love the dedicated Harmony restaurant. Delicious.
