Bournemouth to Barbados Fly-Cruise Returns

Holidaymakers in Dorset can once again swap Bournemouth for Barbados, as the popular fly-cruise route returns with new sailings for 2027 and 2028.

Hosted by Hays Travel in partnership with P&O Cruises, the package allows passengers to fly direct from Bournemouth Airport to Barbados before transferring straight to the cruise ship Britannia for a 14-night Caribbean voyage.

The journey begins in Bridgetown, Barbados, with guests then sailing to a range of stunning destinations including Curaçao, Aruba, Jamaica, Turks and Caicos, Saint Kitts and Nevis and Saint Lucia, offering a relaxed mix of island hopping, sunshine and sea views.

Designed as a seamless travel experience, the package includes direct flights, airport-to-ship transfers, baggage handling from flight to cabin and a full-board cruise. Guests can also enjoy complimentary shuttle buses in port, flexible dining onboard and priority cabin upgrades where available. A Hays hospitality desk and onboard representatives will also be available throughout the trip.

A spokesperson for Hays Travel said they were delighted to offer customers the chance to fly direct from Bournemouth for a Caribbean cruise, adding that regional airports provide greater choice and convenience for travellers.

Confirmed departure dates currently include 8 January 2027, 23 January 2027 and 12 November 2027. For travellers looking for a stress-free way to escape to the Caribbean, the Bournemouth to Barbados fly-cruise is proving to be an exciting option once again.
