Calling all Islanders! Sail into May the right way on one of these cruises from Southampton (and passing the Isle of Wight on their way out the Solent) this month.

As we look forward to jetting off to sunnier places for summer, we need a relaxing break to tide us over (sorry!).

If you're looking to recharge this month, the only way to do it is by booking yourself a cruise. 

Here are all the cruise lines sailing from Southampton this month, including all your favourites P&O, Fred Olsen, MSC and Cunard Cruises to name a few.
