From a standing start in 2010 our cruise related business has increased year by year and we now expect to handle over 80% of the cruise vessels calling in Southampton in 2017.

It is estimated that our dedicated cruise team will provide assistance to over 1.7 million passengers joining and leaving ships, throughout 2017, along with over two and a quarter million pieces of baggage plus substantial amounts of ships stores.
