MY HUSBAND AND I WOULD LIKE TO CRUISE TO BRITAIN IN 2017. WE WOULD ALSO LIKE TO RETURN BY SEA. WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND ANY WAY TO DO THIS WITHOUT A FLIGHT. IDEALLY, WE WOULD LIKE TO SPEND SIX TO EIGHT WEEKS IN BRITAIN, PREFERABLY IN LATE SPRING OR SUMMER.
J. WOOD, BUFF POINT
There are several cruise lines that can make this happen. For example, Princess Cruises have a World Cruise Liner – Sydney to Britain, departing in May 2017. This is a 51-day cruise with stops at Perth and Colombo, at several ports in the Middle East and the Mediterranean, Ireland and finally Dover. This would get you into Britain in early July. Spending six to eight weeks in Britain would give you a departure date of early to mid-September. Most cruise operators have not yet released their schedules for the second half of 2017 but it should not be difficult to find a cruise that would suit your needs.
Presumably you'd want to travel in a westerly direction via the Panama Canal rather than backtracking on your return voyage to Australia, and again, this is not asking too much. You might get in touch with Cruise Express and Cruising.com.au and see what best fits your plans.
