Cruise Visits

Cruise ships are always welcomed at Cowes Harbour, with the coastal town of Cowes and the rest of the Island beyond, providing truly memorable experiences for visiting cruise guests.

• A number of cruise visits to Cowes have sadly had to be cancelled this year due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic. However, Cowes Harbour Commission will be ready to welcome cruise ships back to the Isle of Wight when it is safe to do so, when the time is right, and in line with all UK Government guidance. Thank you.
