Your Departure Port

Portsmouth International Port

Portsmouth International Port offers a growing programme of no-fly cruise departures, making it a practical alternative to Southampton for guests travelling from across Hampshire, Surrey, West Sussex and the Isle of Wight.

The port has invested significantly in its cruise infrastructure, with Cruise Berth 2 now able to accommodate larger vessels and shore-power connectivity supporting more sustainable operations. Programmes are more seasonal than Southampton, so the best approach is to search live sailings or ask us to check availability for your preferred dates.
