This year, 90 ships will call into Portsmouth including Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian Star, which will become the largest vessel to enter the harbour.


Andrew Williamson, head of cruise and ferry at Portsmouth International Port, said there would be “a number” of maiden calls including from Regent Seven Seas Cruises. 

  
He said: “We have been working hard over the last few years to boost our offering to cruise lines and attract new customers to the port and city, which has paid off, with the next year looking to be our busiest yet.”
