Project Details

Architect: The Manser Practice

Location: Southampton

Main contractor: Dean & Dyball Ltd

Sub contractor: T A Colbourne

The £19m Ocean Cruise terminal has been completed to marine standards and helps to meet the need of Southampton’s cruise business - which has seen unprecedented growth in recent years.

With 289 cruise calls and well over 900,000 passengers during 2008, including such high-profile calls as those for the naming of P&O’s Ventura and Royal Caribbean’s Independence of the Seas.

The terminal built adjacent to the Ocean Dock is capable of handling ships with a capacity of 4,000 passengers - and will therefore comfortably accommodate the largest cruise vessels afloat.

With Southampton being recognised as the cruise capital of Northern Europe, the terminal helps the port maintain this position.
