Port Bristol UK cruise ship schedule shows timetable calendars of all arrival and departure dates by month. The port's schedule lists all ships (in links) with cruises going to or leaving from Bristol UK, Avonmouth, England. To see the full itineraries (ports of call dates and arrival / departure times) and their lowest rates – just follow the corresponding ship-link.
Port Avonmouth serves Bristol City, as well as the Unitary Authority (UK local authority) region South West England. Bristol City has population around 460,000 (metro over 1 million), ranking it England's 6th and UK's 8th largest. This is also the most populous city in southern England - after London . The seaport has a namesake in the USA - Bristol RI (Rhode Island) .
Port Avonmouth is also one of Bristol's suburbs. The seaport faces two rivers - Avon and Severn (river's estuary). The seaport is of great importance for region's shipping-based economy as it can handle large-sized cargo ships and provides plenty of berths and warehouse storage space. In 2019, the cruise port handled 21 ship calls (10% increase over 2018).
The city borders with South Gloucestershire, North Somerset, and also the historic cities Gloucester and Bath (to the northeast and southeast, respectively). Iron Age hill forts and Roman villas were created near the confluence of the rivers Avon and Frome. In early-11th-century was founded the settlement (then named Brycgstow, meaning in Old English "the place at the bridge"). Bristol received city rights in 1155 and until 1373 belonged to Gloucestershire, after which became a county. In the period 13th-18th-centuries, Bristol was among the top 3 English cities after London (York and Norwich) in tax receipts. During the Industrial Revolution period (mid-18th-early-19th-centuries) Bristol was surpassed by Liverpool , Birmingham and Manchester.
Avonmouth (port of Bristol) was a starting point for exploration voyages to the New World. In 1497, out of Bristol left the expedition led by John Cabot (Giovanni Caboto, 1450-1500, Venetian navigator and explorer). The expedition was commissioned by King Henry VII of England (1457-1509). The explorer became the first European (since the Vikings) to land on mainland North America. In 1499, the Bristol merchant William Weston (1445-1505) was the first Englishman to lead an exploration to North America. Since then, Port Bristol has moved from Bristol Harbour (in downtown) to Severn Estuary at Avonmouth and Royal Portbury Dock.
In 2018, Port Bristol had a scheduled homeporting season for its ever-largest cruise ship - CMV Magellan . The ship has max passenger capacity 1452 and offered Bristol roundtrip itineraries to ports in the Mediterranean and Baltic (Norwegian Fjords, Scandinavia and Russia / St Petersburg ).
In June 2019 was completed the GBP 9 million container terminal upgrade designed to further increase port's capacity and productivity due to growing container shipping traffic and related services offered at port's two container terminals/docks - Avonmouth and Portbury. Portbury Dock handles larger boxships , while Avonmouth Dock serves smaller-sized TEU carriers. The largest companies serving Port Bristol are MSC (Mediterranean Shipping Company SA) , DFDS Suardiaz Line Ltd (subsidiary of Suardiaz Group) and Containerships plc (both with weekly crossings to/from Bilbao Spain ), Grimaldi Lines (weekly connections with Sweden, Denmark, Mediterranean) and Cronus Logistics (3 weekly Irish Sea crossings to Northern Ireland).
Bristol UK cruise terminal
Cruise ships to Bristol UK dock at Port Avonmouth - port and city suburb located at the River Avon's mouth (Severn Estuary). As cruise port, Bristol can handle ships with max LOA length 310 m (1017 ft) and max-width 41 m (135 ft) due to port's lock restrictions.

Sightseeing:
Located on the northern side of the mouth of the River Avon where the river joins the Severn estuary,
Today Bristol is a flourishing city with much to attract the visitor, including Brunel’s SS Great Britain , the famous Clifton Suspension Bridge , the cathedral , Bristol Museum and Art Gallery and one of the UK’s finest zoos .
The floating harbour is the jewel in Bristol's crown, and many of its attractions are on or close to the harbour.
Tours Excursions Transportation:
Bristol is a large city with various areas in its center; a map is helpful to get to know the layout. The free map given away at the Tourist Information center at the Harbourside is excellent for this.
Most locations in central Bristol (the Harbourside and Old City areas) are reasonable easily walkable, and there are plenty of attractive walking routes along the quaysides and in the pedestrianised central streets.
Hop on/off buses .
At Bristol's core is the Floating Harbour - a stretch of water that snakes along the city-center which looks like a river in places but which is actually a dock. For centuries the Floating Harbour was where ships docked, bringing trade and prosperity to the city. It was created by diverting the River Avon in the early 19th century to the New Cut to the south, and by using various locks to create a non-tidal dock. Today, the industrial shipping has mostly gone and the Floating Harbour is a home for leisure, pleasure craft, upmarket waterfront apartments, and the occasional visiting sailing ship.
The Bristol Packet offers city docks tours with commentaries daily during school holidays and at weekends throughout the year.
It pays to compare your cruise line tours here .
Nearby Places:
Weston-super-Mare , probably the nearest sea-side resort with a sandy beach and plenty of entertainment suitable for young families. An adult day return from Bristol Temple Meads is £6.30. If possible, take the train to Weston-super-mare as an adult day return from the bus station will cost upwards of £8.
Shopping and Food
Cabot Circus , A large and architecturally impressive shopping centre in central Bristol, opened in 2008.

Royal Portbury Dock Rd, Bristol BS20 7XJ
The Cruise facility is approximately 8 miles from Bristol city centre. Access is via the main port entrance at Royal Portbury Docks.

Today the tradition has been rejuvenated for the 21st century with cruise lines being welcomed to Bristol Port for both turnaround and transit cruises.
- Opened: 1977
- Size: 290m in length
Car Parking
The Bristol Cruise Terminal is able to offer secure car parking facilities close to the Cruise Terminal. Places must be reserved through your booking agent or tour operator and paid for in advance. Passengers should enter the dock area by the West Town Police Gate and then follow the signs to the Drop Off/Car Park area. Please ensure that the Car Park Permit issued is clearly displayed on the windscreen of the vehicle upon arrival at the Terminal. On arrival at the Port please make your way to the Cruise Terminal where you will be met by the baggage handlers. Once your baggage has been passed to the handlers, please make your way to the car park which is a short walk to the terminal.
Bristol Temple Meads is 8 miles from the Cruise Terminal and Bristol Parkway is 10 miles away. Both are well connected, and we recommend you take a taxi from the station asking for the Cruise Terminal off the A4 Portway, Avonmouth Docks. There is a branch line service to Avonmouth station, but it is 3 miles from the Terminal and walking inside the dock estate is not permitted. There is no taxi rank at Avonmouth station so you must pre-book a taxi if you wish to use this route.
Arrival by Air
The Bristol Cruise Terminal is approximately 13 miles (25 minutes) drive by taxi from Bristol Airport, which is well connected both domestically and internationally.
Arrival by Taxi
On returning from your cruise, there is a taxi rank to the right as you exit the Cruise Terminal.
For Pickups and drop offs
Pass through the police gate and take the 3rd exit off the roundabout immediately ahead. Take the first right 20ft past the roundabout. Then take the 2nd left, immediately after the large shed. You will then see the ship on your right. Drop off/pick up will be by the Marquee Terminal in front of you.
Leaving your car
Pass through the police gate and take the 4th exit off the roundabout. The ship will now be to your left-hand side. Drive straight ahead, over the small roundabout and then take the 2nd exit on the right and drive up a hill. The exact drop-off location will be signposted and at the top of the hill.
