About this site
Compiled and maintained by Andrew Budai, webmaster. Schedule last updated .
Cruises From London is an independent schedule of cruises leaving London's three cruise ports: Dover, Tilbury and Greenwich. It lists 157 sailings on 17 ships from 6 cruise lines, from March 2027 to October 2028.
We don't sell cruises. There is no booking engine, account or newsletter here. When you find a sailing you like, we send you to Cruisebound, which sells that exact sailing, or to the cruise line, to check the price and book. Cruisebound sells in the US and Canada, in US dollars, so the fares here are for buyers there.
The site earns money from those links: Cruisebound pays us a commission if you book through one, at no cost to you. It does not change which sailings we list or how we order them.
Who runs this site
Andrew Budai compiles and maintains Cruises From London. He is an experienced webmaster with more than 10 years in SEO and digital advertising, and he has been building his own websites for the past year. He wants this site to be genuinely helpful and also profitable. He is not a travel agent, and the schedule comes from the sources listed below, not from personal experience.
How the schedule is put together
Each sailing is built from up to three sources, each used for what it does best:
- Cruisebound, a cruise retailer, publishes every sailing it sells from Dover, Tilbury and Greenwich, with today's fare. Each sailing's own page gives the day-by-day itinerary, and that is where our ports of call and the departure port come from.
- CruiseTimetables publishes a list of departures from Dover and one from London, which we read once a week as a second check of which ship leaves on which day. Each names one ship a day, so it can confirm a sailing but not rule one out.
- The Port of Dover publishes its own schedule of cruise calls, with the terminal each ship uses, Cruise Terminal 1 or 2. It lists only calls still to come, and it is the only place a Dover terminal on this site comes from. When it has not reached a sailing yet, that sailing shows no terminal, and your cruise documents have the final word.
- If we can't confirm the ports of call, the sailing is left out. We would rather show fewer cruises than show one with gaps. If two sources disagree, the sailing stays on the site and is marked, so you can check it with the line.
We never work out a terminal from the cruise line. Ships move between terminals, and a wrong guess costs real time on the day.
Ships that only call at a London port partway through a voyage are not departures. Lines Cruisebound doesn't sell from London, such as Ambassador and Saga, have no confirmed ports or fares for us to publish, so they are not listed. Many lines also sell "London" cruises that leave from Southampton; this site covers Dover, Tilbury and Greenwich only.
How sure we are
As of 2026-11-09:
| Status | Sailings | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Confirmed | 148 | The ship is on the Port of Dover's schedule for that day or, where that does not reach, on CruiseTimetables' list for the port. |
| Single source | 9 | Cruisebound sells it, but neither check lists it, usually because it is too far ahead. Check these with the line. |
We record which ports a sailing visits. The order and the times in port can change, so check the line's day-by-day itinerary if that matters to you.
About the fares
A fare here is a starting price per person in US dollars, for the cheapest cabin listed, with taxes and port fees included. 157 of the 157 sailings have one. Each fare shows the date we checked it.
These are not live quotes. Cruise prices move every day, so treat a fare as a way to compare one sailing with another, then get the real price from the line. Where we have no fare, the table says "check prices" instead of guessing.
Keeping it current
Fares are re-checked on a schedule and the site is rebuilt afterwards. Sailings drop off automatically once they have left. The date of the last update is at the top of every listing and in the footer.
Download the schedule
The whole schedule is available as a file, one row per sailing, rebuilt every morning with the site: CSV for a spreadsheet, or JSON. Each row gives the departure and return dates, nights, the departure port and, for Dover, the terminal where the port's schedule shows it, ship, line, itinerary, region, ports of call, the starting fare and the date it was read, and the page that covers it. You are welcome to use and quote it, with a link back to this site. You can also put a live list of sailings on your own site with our schedule widget.

Independence
This site is not affiliated with the Port of Dover, the Port of Tilbury, the Port of London Authority or any cruise line. It does have an affiliate deal with Cruisebound, a cruise booking site, which pays us a commission when you book through our fare buttons. The affiliate disclosure explains how that works. It does not change which sailings we list or the order they appear in.
When something is wrong
Cruise lines change schedules often, and a list like this can fall behind between updates. The cruise line is always the final word on dates, ports and prices.
