Record year in store for cruise trade at Harwich
Harwich has, for many years, had a great reputation as one of the UK’s top ports for handling cruise turnrounds – that’s when the cruise starts and finishes at the port. And more recently it’s been developing a strong position as a port of call, too – that’s when Harwich is included on the cruise itinerary, with the ship dropping in for a day so the passengers can take shore excursions.
This year promises to be an excellent cruise year for Harwich, with a season that’s starting earlier and ending later and a record ten transit calls by a range of different cruise operators.
