The Port of Poole is a boutique cruise destination with a wealth of experience in welcoming cruise ships. In 2018, the port constructed a berth capable of accommodating vessels up to 210 metres in length.
Ideally situated near major motorways, airports, and rail connections, Poole is well-suited for both transit calls and turnarounds. Offering an intimate and scenic experience, the port boasts breathtaking views of Old Harry Rocks, Brownsea Island, and Poole Harbour.
Cruise guests have easy access to a range of excursions, including the iconic Stonehenge, just an hour’s drive away. The port also provides cruise lines with the rare opportunity to launch Zodiacs or kayaks directly from the berth, subject to consultation with the Harbour Master. For added convenience and adventure, we also accommodate helicopter landings.
Poole offers the exclusivity of being the sole cruise ship in port, ensuring a seamless and private experience. Coaches can collect guests directly from the gangway for excursions, while independent travellers can reach historic Poole Quay with a short 10-minute walk. From there, they can explore the charming Old Town, Poole Museum, independent shops, and scenic harbour walks.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Port of Poole.
