Strategically located where the Rivers Stour and Orwell meet, Harwich International Port is well placed on the East Coast of England, just under 70 miles from London. The A120 and A12 trunk roads ensure easy access and fast journey times from all London airports, and the added benefit of a railway station inside the port offers a real alternative for travellers who prefer rail.
The dedicated and friendly cruise team at Harwich International Port take great pride in the purpose-built cruise terminal building and strive to provide a first class service to passengers and cruise lines alike.
Around 100,000 cruise passengers pass through the port each year and every effort is made to ensure all aspects of their experience is hassle free; whether its relaxing in the Café, transferring on the car park shuttle or waiting to check-in.
The port has established itself as a major UK cruise port for turnaround calls and now serves a number of markets, including North Cape, Baltic, Scandinavia, around Britain and the Mediterranean. In conjunction with the Haven Cruise project www.havencruise.com, the port is seeking to attract more port-of-call business, and to promote the many overlooked local tourist attractions including Cambridge, Colchester, "Constable Country", and Duxford Imperial War Museum, which will continue to delight visitors in future years. Harwich itself is a quaint and historic seafaring town with several well-renovated buildings and interesting museums as well as a good range of friendly bars and restaurants.
