Cruise traffic at ports in the United Kingdom bounced back in 2022, after falling sharply with the onset of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Overall, Southampton was the leading port for cruise travel in the UK. In 2022, the number of cruise passengers embarking and disembarking at that location reached nearly 1.8 million, remaining slightly below pre-pandemic levels. Dover - the leading UK port based on ferry passenger movements - reported the second-highest cruise traffic at ports in the United Kingdom that year.
