Dover has long been one of the world’s premier seaports, with centuries of maritime heritage. But today you’ll find the experience at Dover a singularly modern one. Driven by massive investment, state of the art facilities, excellent modern transport links and award winning customer service, the port is very much a 21st century operation.
Dover’s cruise product is second to none. Just minutes from the channel shipping lanes and less than two hours drive from London, Dover is perfect for both turnarounds and port of calls. It’s also ideal for access to and from Heathrow, Gatwick, Manston and the other major London airports.
Add to this the comprehensive marketing and public relations support of our dedicated cruise team and it’s easy to see why Dover is perfect for your cruise itinerary. So perfect in fact, we already welcome over 200,000 cruise passengers a year from companies as diverse as Costa, Crystal, Fred Olsen, HAL, Hebridean International Cruises, MSC, Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania, Princess Cruises, Saga and Swan Hellenic amongst others.
Dover has two dedicated cruise terminals allowing two large cruise ships to be handled simultaneously. Terminal 1 is a characterful conversion of a stylish Victorian railway station, whilst Terminal 2 is a sleek, modern building that offers state of the art facilities. Either can be configured to provide your passengers with maximum convenience and can be branded to suit corporate requirements. In addition to our two terminals, we also have a third berth available for port of call visits. That gives us the capacity to handle up to four cruise ships at any one time.
Dover and Kent have much to offer cruise passengers on stopover, pre and post excursions. What makes Dover special is its impressive location. With the famous white cliffs dominated by the Norman castle, the approach by sea is a unique experience. Dover has long been called the gateway to England and provides a wealth of places to visit. Within an hour from Dover by road your passengers will find a choice of impressive castles, fabulous country houses and two of the world’s oldest cathedrals. We look forward to the opportunity of welcoming you to Dover soon.
