Southampton/London (UK) Ocean
Cruise Terminal
|
|
Southampton
is the
'Cruise Capital'
of the UK and home to some
of the finest cruise lines.
The Port of
Southampton is now on
course to become the biggest cruise ship hub in Europe as more and more
cruise lines increase the number of Ex-UK, roundtrip cruises from the UK.
Southampton Ocean
Cruise Terminal
was opened on the 29th May 2009 by ABP
Ports with a £19 million price tag funded by Carnival UK who operate cruise
lines including Cunard, P&O Cruises and Princess Cruises.
The
terminal is the first purpose-built cruise facility to be built at the
port in over 40 years.
