Port of Tyne Cruise Terminal - tyresmoke - 14 Jun 2015
Newcastle is fast becoming a popular destination for cruise ships to visit, both to start/finish cruise voyages and also visiting in the middle of cruises from other destinations, indeed 2015 will see a visit from Dutch and German cruise ships. 2016 will see lots more one day visits, including Disney Cruise Line!
For us bus/coach enthusiasts - it also offers the opportunity to see fleets of coaches in use on transfers from/to the cruises and of course the day excursions on the one day visits. I know I went to Newcastle last year when MSC Cruises visited and no less than 50 coaches were in use that day.
See below for a list of 2015 visits... I'll try and add more detail in further posts if I hear of additions to the list.
Turnaround = finish of one cruise, and start of another (ie based at Newcastle)
Day Visit = visiting in the middle of a voyage from another port
