Good to know
That's the idea. We focus on no-fly cruises that sail round-trip from UK ports such as Southampton and Dover — so you can step aboard without ever going near an airport.
We check accessibility properly — step-free routes, accessible cabins, lifts and gentle shore excursions — and explain it in plain English so you know exactly what to expect before you book.
Solo travellers are very welcome. We actively seek out cruises with low or no single supplements, and we'll always flag the solo-friendly options for you.
Gentle and unhurried — itineraries with more sea days, longer stays in port and no dawn starts. The kind of pace where you can read a book on deck and never feel rushed.
Nothing. GentleSeas is free to use. You book directly with the cruise line at their normal price, and they pay us a small commission — it never costs you more.
Very soon. Join the waitlist and you'll be among the first to know the day we launch.
