The 2021 domestic season successfully brought cruising back to UK shores with vessels from 14 cruise lines taking passengers to over 50 ports across Britain.
Robust, carefully planned protocols and extensive industry collaboration gave all concerned the confidence to proceed and the success of the season was testament to their hard work and cooperation.
Looking forward, many UK ports report strong booking figures and are confident of a return to a more normal season in 2022. This would include welcoming ships carrying Europeans and Americans as these represent a significant part of the season for many UK cruise ports and were conspicuous by their absence in 2021.
