Port of Milford Haven and Pembroke Port

With capacity to accommodate a wide range of cruise vessels, our twin sites at Milford Haven (anchorage) and Pembroke Port (alongside) are a reassuring port of call. We are known for being efficient and welcoming and will help you to deliver the right experience for your passengers.

Pembrokeshire is a world-class landscape. We can help create tours that explore some of the obvious treasures such as the majestic St David’s Cathedral (located in the UK smallest city), the stunning heritage at Pembroke Castle which is the birthplace of Henry VII, and the exceptionally pretty seaside town of Tenby. And, depending on your call duration, we can even explore the home of Welsh poet, Dylan Thomas, in Laugharne or the National Botanic Gardens. And we can uncover more besides.

We’ll help you find tours that meet your passenger profile and reveal some of Pembrokeshire’s undiscovered gems. Highlights could include dedicated wildlife boat tours, walking experiences on the incredible Pembrokeshire Coast Path, a trip to one of the world’s most beautiful beaches, a movie tour, foodie experiences or even a local craft session. Or, if your passengers love life on the active side then you really couldn’t want for a better location – we can find you expert guides in kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, coasteering, sailing, kite surfing, surfing, biking, fishing and diving to name a few. Pembrokeshire really is exceptional and we are confident your passengers will think so too.

On a more practical note, we can accommodate 24/7 arrival and departure, have capacity for stores delivery, and, if needed, have extensive maritime and engineering services available locally. Both venues are close to facilities for your crew and there are strong public transportation links for visitors and crew arriving on route.

We’ll do what we can to help your cruise call run smoothly and efficiently.
