A UK cruise firm based in Oxfordshire is being dissolved less than two years after it was formed, with all planned sailings cancelled.
Set Sail Cruises Ltd, registered to an address in Bicester, was formally dissolved on March 17, 2026, after a strike-off process, meaning it no longer exists as a legal company.
The travel agency was incorporated on February 4, 2024 and listed its main activity as “travel agency activities”.

Before it was removed from the register, the firm had been shown as “active – active proposal to strike off” after failing to file key statutory documents.
No accounts were ever submitted for Set Sail Cruises.
Its first set of accounts, covering the period up to February 28, 2025, was overdue, as was its latest confirmation statement, which should have been filed by January 11, 2026.

Dissolution normally indicates that a business has stopped trading and that creditors or customers must pursue any money owed through other routes rather than through the company itself.
While public records do not state how many travellers are affected, any customers with upcoming cruises or package holidays booked via Set Sail Cruises are likely to find their trips cancelled following the company’s removal from the register.
Holidaymakers in this position are generally advised to seek redress through their credit or debit card provider, travel insurance policy or any protection scheme attached to their booking, rather than expecting a refund directly from the now‑dissolved firm.
