No Return

If say taking a cruise ship from Singapore to the UK would they allow that as your destination and not have the return flight back to Singapore or any other port you sailed from. Basically I mean a one way cruise

A lot of cruises are one-way, so I'm not exactly sure what the fuss is all about

Are you concerned whether you can enter UK upon the end of the one-way cruise? Would UK deny entry of its own citizens?

No that has nothing to do with it two separate trips, most cruises include airfares back to the original departure point question is do they allow the cruise without the return fare, spoke to one company who said no.

We've done it on a Med cruise itinerary.

It's called "downlining".

Contact the cruise line for their procedures/forms.

BTW you don't get a refund for the unused portion of your prepaid fare + taxes.

I'm seeing lots of Singapore-UK cruises offered at www.vacationstogo.com that do not appear to include airfare in the prices quoted. What cruise line(s) are you looking at, and have you tried pricing the cruise through a travel agency rather than through the cruise line itself?
