Spurred by luxury cruise market growth
Cowes Harbour Commission is working proactively with the Island’s tourism organisation Visit Isle of Wight and other local stakeholders to promote Cowes as a cruise port-of-call, encouraged by the growth in the Northern European luxury cruise market.
Cruise ships under 150mtr visiting Cowes anchor in Cowes Roads at the C1 Anchorage with a five minute tender to shore, whilst ships over 150mtr anchor in the ABP Anchorage that has a 15 minute tender to Cowes.
All passengers disembark at the Trinity Landing pontoons off The Parade, in the heart of Cowes and right next to the Royal Yacht Squadron and Royal LondonYacht Club.
