PLYMOUTH GETTING READY FOR ANNUAL CRUISE SEASON

Plymouth is getting ready for the start of the cruise season schedule next month.

The highly anticipated Cruise Liner time table will see some regulars and new ship operators between March and September 2025.

Marking the beginning of the cruise season, the MS Ambition, operated by Ambassador Cruise Line, sets the stage for another thriving year for Plymouth’s cruise sector.

Cruise tourism was estimated to contribute £1.5 million to the local economy in 2024, and looking to be equalled or surpassed this year, with passengers expected to come from across the globe.

One of the highlights of the schedule is the return of the majestic cruise ship the Hebridean Princess that was chartered by the late Queen Elizabeth twice.

Saga Cruises’ Spirit of Discovery, and Oceania Cruises’ Vista and Sirena, Silver Dawn from Silversea Cruises, and others will be anchoring in the Sound, berth at Millbay Docks (ABP), and tender boats taking passengers to the Barbican Landing Stage.

Cruise Plymouth Partnership is a great city collaboration that includes; Destination Plymouth, Cattewater Harbour Commissioners, Millbay Docks (ABP), the Plymouth Waterfront BID Company, Plymouth City Council, and the Cruise Ship Volunteers that meet and greet the visitors to the city.
