Dover

Dover is the premier hub port for cruise lines in the South East of England; one of the busiest cruise ports in Britain and Northern Europe welcoming 250,000 discerning cruise passengers every year. Located just 76 miles east of London, Dover is England’s gateway to Europe. Driven by massive investment, Dover is one of the most modern and progressive cruise ports in the county, with highly trained personnel and award-winning customer service. Which is why it is the port of choice for over 25 individual cruise lines. With two impressive state-of-the-art terminals, Dover has the capacity to accommodate three ships at once and with the on-going development there is also the creation of a new multi-use berth raising Dover’s cruise capacity to 4 berths. It is also perfectly positioned for turnaround or port of call visits for Northern Europe, the Baltic, Eastern Mediterranean and USA, enabling you to offer a wide variety of itineraries, with excellent accommodation and historic attractions.

Hamburg

Hamburg is one of Europe´s leading cruise capitals – with 785.000 passengers & 278 calls in 2022, as well as numerous cruise-themed events all year round. With its Hamburg Cruise Days or Port Anniversary, Hamburg is the most eventful city port in the world & welcomes cruise ships like no other. Hamburg´s attractiveness for cruise lines is intimately related to the state of the art infrastructure of its three urban cruise terminals. Currently, a new cruise terminal is being built at HafenCity - integrated into a shopping, hotel & entertainment complex, and set to open in 2024. With direct access to the city center, passengers & cruise lines alike will highly benefit from the unique possibilites of the new terminal concept. Hamburg continues to play a pioneering role in sustainability: From 2025, all Hamburg Cruise Terminals will be equipped with shore power which will make Hamburg the first port in Europe to offer alternative energy supply for ships at berth at all its cruise terminals.
