Plymouth, Britain’s Ocean City, welcomes you to the South West’s premier port of call. A true gem nestled away in the South of Devon surrounded by spectacularly breath-taking natural backdrops on the border of Cornwall and a stone's throw from the wildness of Dartmoor National Park. Plymouth has sailing in its blood as the Pilgrims left Plymouth aboard the Mayflower to discover the new world of America on 6^th September 1620. The city and surrounding areas are steeped with history, culture and leisure.

You’ll find quaint cobbled streets with funky independent shops, galleries and award-winning restaurants along The Barbican, a unique events calendar packed with world-class events, and plenty to keep you busy on a rainy day such as The Box, the UKs largest aquarium, the Immersive Dome with technology the first of its kind in Europe, or a tour of the oldest gin distillery in the UK Plymouth Gin.  

Once you step foot in Plymouth, you will be greeted by our cruise ambassadors who will help you navigate your time in our beautiful city. Any questions, fire away!
