The city of Hull on Britain's east coast is planning a dedicated cruise terminal after it had started to receive interest from the industry a few years ago.
The city council says on its website that the terminal is part of its development plan for the next few years. Located on the north side of the River Humber, Hull is a port city and P&O Ferries operate four passenger carrying vessels from there on overnight crossings to the Continent. Immingham on the south side of the river is a major roro freight facility.
Cruise & Maritime Voyages, the British destinational cruise shipping company, has operated turn around calls from Hull in recent years. At the moment, there is no port with dedicated cruise facilities on Britain's east coast between Harwich in the south and Newcastle in the north east.
