PLYMOUTH is set to welcome 14 cruise ships bringing more than 10,000 passengers this year. Plymouth's Cruise Plymouth Partnership said bookings have leapt by 40% from last year cementing the city's reputation as a "must-see cruise destination" Among the 14 vessels already confirmed for 2024 are several making their first call to Britain's Ocean City, plus several expedition vessels. They include the first visit by Ambassador Cruise Line with its ships Ambition and Ambience, and expedition vessels such as Seabourn Venture, Exploris One, Star Legend, and Le Dumont D'urville.
The port will also welcome luxury cruise liners including Silver Dawn, Silver Spirit, Sirena and Seabourn Sojourn along with visits by German operator Phoenix Reisen with Artania, Amadea, and Amera. The first liner arrives in April and bookings continue monthly until October with cruise lines from the USA, Germany and France represented along with UK ships.
Even more visits are in the pipeline for 2024 and inquiries are coming in for next year and 2026.
The burgeoning cruise line business adds up to a significant boost to the city economy and additional employment opportunities.
