Vessels in port

Southampton has many sea related attractions, but few can march the magnificent spectacle of the world’s greatest liners and cruise ships sailing into port, or embarking on a voyage of discovery and glamour. Their presence harks back to the golden age of liners where now legendary ships such as Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth, Mauretania and, more recently,  the Canberra, were a constant sight on the waterfront. These have now been

replaced by larger, and more exotic sounding ships, such as the Queen Mary 2, Arcadia, Legend of the Seas and soon the new Queen Victoria.

This really is the heyday for cruises, with more ships and passengers passing through the City each day, so that Southampton is firmly established as the number one cruise port in the UK.

There are superb vantage points to see these ships on the move.  These include Mayflower Park, Town Quay, Weston Shore and Hythe, across the water.

Here is a current list of recent and future movements:
