Ten cruise ships are expected to visit Dartmouth in 2018 but only two ships will stay overnight.

Saga Pearl ll starts the programme in early April. This is the first of two visits during this, her farewell season. At the other end of its life, is the brand new, prestigious Seabourn Ovation, which will visit in June, after a May launch in Venice. Ex polar explorer, Hebridean Sky is scheduled to visit in mid September.

Also at the luxury end of the cruising market, Silversea’s Silver Wind and Hebridean Cruises’ Hebridean Princess will be repeating visits to the town and should be moored mid-river in July and September, weather permitting.

To complete this year’s line up, the port will welcome back Sea Cloud ll, Aegean Odyssey and Serenissima, all of whom have become regular sights on the Dart.

Dates and specific details can be found on the DHNA website as well as Discover Dartmouth, the official visitor information website.
