Ilfracombe the Cruise port... its Devonly exciting

WOW!! Holland America ships are now set to make Ilfracombe in Devon one of their ports, the BBC has reported that MV Rotterdam & MV Prinsendam will be visiting the south coast. Ilfracombes economy will be boosted massively by the new sector to the tourism industry which is paramount for many of the locals there.

The last ship to dock in Ilfracombe was back in 2006 and according to the BBC the harbour master said ‘Its fantastic news and they were all looking forward to it’
I’m a firm believer that the smaller ship should be visiting smaller ports – like the ideas floating around for Cardiff bay to be a luxury liner port. I for one certainly look forward to seeing the Itineraries that will incorporate Ilfracombe!!
