UK ports attract cruise visitors
More passengers are cruising into UK ports as figures show a 6% increase in the number of ships visiting.
The CruiseBritain show revealed that 648,000 passengers arrived at UK ports in 2011 which was an increase of 15% on the previous year.
2011 also saw 878,000 passengers join their cruise at a UK port, a five per cent increase on 2010, with 86 per cent of passengers being British.
Kate O’Hara, chair of CruiseBritain, said: "The growth in both cruise ship visits and passenger numbers is a testament to Britain’s value as a cruise destination.
"Over the last seven years, we have seen the number of visiting passengers double."
