Understanding the cruise market
The majority of the world’s cruising fleet (up to 300m in length) can call in at world-class facilities at Aberdeen South Harbour. This provides a fantastic opportunity for the region to capitalise on this high spend, growth market.
With larger capacity ships calling at South Harbour, as well as smaller boutique and expedition type ships continuing to call at North Harbour, we expect significant growth in the cruise sector.
To make the most of the market opportunity, it is important to work in partnership to provide high-quality onshore visitor experiences that make Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire stand out as a ‘must see, must visit’ destination. Importantly, we need to combine this with world-class customer service once visitors arrive in port.
