By departing directly from the UK, guests can enjoy a seamless start to their holiday, with the journey beginning the moment they step onboard.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Over the past 12 months, Paramount Cruises has seen strong growth in demand for no-fly cruise itineraries operated by cruise lines such as <strong>Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines<\/strong>, <strong>Ambassador Cruise Line<\/strong> and <strong>Cunard<\/strong>. These cruise lines are well known for their focus on UK departures and itineraries designed around the preferences of British travellers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to the company, <strong>Norwegian Fjords cruises sailing from the UK <\/strong>remain its top-selling itineraries, driven by continued interest in scenic cruising, immersive destinations and the ability to explore Northern Europe without flying. Departures from ports such as <strong>Southampton<\/strong> and <strong>Dover<\/strong> continue to attract strong demand from both first-time and repeat cruisers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In addition to shorter European sailings, interest is also growing in longer <strong>no-fly Caribbean cruises from the UK<\/strong>, particularly among travellers with more time to spend at sea. These extended itineraries offer a compelling alternative to flying, combining a transatlantic crossing with multiple Caribbean destinations and a wide range of onboard dining, entertainment and enrichment experiences.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&ldquo;As capacity continues to increase from regional UK ports, more travellers are realising that flying is no longer essential to enjoy an exceptional cruise holiday,&rdquo; said <strong>Patrick Hill, Head of Paramount Cruises<\/strong>. &ldquo;From the Norwegian Fjords to the Caribbean, no-fly cruises offer a relaxed, rewarding and increasingly popular way to travel.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Paramount Cruises has expanded its range of <strong>no-fly cruises from the UK<\/strong>, offering sailings from ports across England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Popular regional departure options include cruises from <strong>Liverpool<\/strong>, <strong>Belfast<\/strong>, <strong>Bristol<\/strong>, <strong>Portsmouth<\/strong>, <strong>Tilbury<\/strong> and <strong>Dundee<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Full details of UK departure cruises and regional port options are available at: <a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"decorated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/destinations\/british-isles\/united-kingdom\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_new\">https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/destinations\/british-isles\/united-kingdom<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style='font-size:18px !important;'>Media Contact<\/span><br \/><strong>Company Name:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/companyname\/paramountcruises.com_167113.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">Paramount Cruises<\/a><br \/><strong>Contact Person:<\/strong> Jessica Hartley<br \/><strong>Email:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/email_contact_us.php?pr=paramount-cruises-sees-rising-demand-for-nofly-cruises-from-uk-ports-as-flightfree-travel-continues-to-grow\" rel=\"nofollow\">Send Email<\/a><br \/><strong>Phone:<\/strong> 02079470270<br \/><strong>Address:<\/strong>12 Stephen Mews  <br \/><strong>City:<\/strong> London<br \/><strong>Country:<\/strong> United Kingdom<br \/><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.paramountcruises.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/press_stat.php?pr=paramount-cruises-sees-rising-demand-for-nofly-cruises-from-uk-ports-as-flightfree-travel-continues-to-grow\" alt=\"\" width=\"1px\" height=\"1px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paramount Cruises reports growing demand for no-fly cruises from UK ports, as British travellers increasingly choose flight-free holidays departing directly from their local port.
