The aims are to increase the number of cruise ships that call at South West Ports, to enhance the passenger experience and increase the contribution from the cruise industry to the economy of the South West of England. The partnership is funded by contributions from all the partners. The partners, listed below, include ports, local government authorities, tourist attractions, and other organisations with an interest in the cruise industry. This website is designed to give Cruise Lines and their preferred tour operators suggestions of ports and places to visit.
