Cruise business has been growing progressively over the years, thanks to investments which help the port handle larger ships and more passengers. A modern terminal extension opened last year, creating a premium experience for customers, and there continues to be opportunity to capitalise on the city’s unique waterfront location to entice more cruise lines.

Underpinning this successful growth is an ambition and commitment to become one of the UK’s leaders in port sustainability and achieve carbon neutral status by 2030, through industry-leading initiatives such as Sea Change, our shore power project which will go live in 2025.
