Cruise holidays are returning to UK shores with a series of voyages in home waters intended to be “a highlight of British summer time”.
P&O Cruises, Princess, Cunard, Viking and Fred Olsen have scrapped planned overseas itineraries and are replacing them with short-break and week-long cruises around Britain.
P&O Cruises president Paul Ludlow said: “We cannot wait to give our guests a much-deserved holiday. Our staycations will provide the ultimate escape and we hope they will be a highlight of British summer time.”
