Falmouth Marks Its Busiest Cruise Week of the Year
Falmouth Marks Its Busiest Cruise Week of the Year
June 15, 2025 12:17
APCL A&P Falmouth experienced its busiest cruise week this year, with four consecutive port calls, including the return of Ambassador Cruise Line’s Ambition for the second turnaround of the season. Welcoming more than 3,400 passengers ashore, APCL A&P Falmouth staff and the cruise ship ambassadors greeted Silversea Cruises Silver Dawn on Wednesday, Regent’s Seven Seas Grandeur on Thursday, Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines Balmoral on Friday, and Ambition on Saturday. Having successfully disembarked passengers from Ambition after their 14-day cruise around Iceland, the port team helped Ambassador welcome more than 300 embarking guests for their next trip around the Mediterranean – including one of the founding Falmouth Cruise Ship Ambassadors, David Pollard. Day passengers on Friday and Saturday made the most of the musical festivities at the International Sea Shanty Festival, which included more than 80 groups playing at various venues throughout the town. The team at the Seafarers’ Centre were also on hand throughout the week to welcome crew members from all four ships on their well-deserved shore breaks. A passenger commented: “I have been in the cruise industry for 24 years and have sailed around the world several times. I can honestly say that the welcome, friendliness and help offered by the team in Falmouth can't be matched, let alone beaten, anywhere else in the cruising world. “The team made a huge impression on everyone that I spoke to after the call.” We look forward to welcoming Seven Seas Grandeur back to Falmouth Port on Wednesday June 25th.
