Seabourn cruise guests can now pick from an even larger range of no-fly cruises from the UK for 2023. Notorious for classy and sophisticated cruises around the world, sailing aboard MV Seabourn Ovation cruise ship, without the need to fly, has never been more exciting.

Best of all, Seabourn’s Ovation is perfect for a small ship, no-fly holiday as it can navigate through to smaller ports but still provide plenty of room onboard – all whilst you kick back and relax without worrying about flight schedules.

Aboard this all-inclusive no-fly cruise ship, there’s the opportunity to join her for an ultra-luxury experience onboard, sailing around Northern Europe in 2023. Be sure to get your bags packed and jump onboard this all-veranda suite ship for a choice of three 12 and 14-night sumptuous leisurely itineraries. With a choice from each, you can spend 14 nights on a luxury no-fly cruise from Dover this September 2022.

Discover ‘Western Europe’s Historic & Cultural Icons’ on a 12-night voyage departing 23 April 2023 and visiting the highlights of Northern France, Spain and Belgium.
