Portsmouth Takes You There
Portsmouth’s rich heritage is built on centuries of maritime history, and that will be more than evident to each and every cruise passenger as they sail in and out of the Waterfront City.
The iconic Emirates Spinnaker Tower stands proudly at the entrance to the harbour. Cruise liners sail past the Historic Dockyard and famous warships, including Nelson’s HMS Victory, as they make their way into Portsmouth International Port. There’s nothing old fashioned about the facilities for ships and passengers though. Millions of pounds of recent investment has delivered an award winning passenger terminal, with dedicated cruise facilities. New berthing arrangements bring the highest levels of flexibility and safety for ships up to 240 metres in length.
The cruise team at Portsmouth International Port takes huge pride in delivering a bespoke experience for each and every ship that visits. The Port has developed a reputation for handling small to medium sized luxury vessels, and has become a favourite destination for explorer cruises. With world-class attractions and landmarks on its doorstep, it’s no surprise that Portsmouth International Port is such a popular port of call. Passengers can experience life on board King Henry VIII’s Mary Rose and stand on the fortified walls where the monarch watched his beloved ship sink in 1545. They can walk in the footsteps of Admiral Lord Nelson, or visit the birthplace of Charles Dickens.
Situated directly on the UK motorway network, Britain’s Best Connected Port offers easy access to other world famous destinations. Stonehenge, Salisbury Cathedral, Historic Winchester and all of the sights of London can be reached in a day’s visit. And with high class shopping, restaurants and entertainment on the doorstep in Portsmouth, passengers will most definitely be asking to visit again!
We look forward to seeing you soon at Portsmouth International Port.
