Situated by the mouth of River Avon, Bristol Cruise Terminal has long been the maritime doorway of the South West. The port of Bristol is the UK’s most centrally located deep-sea port, and the main cruise terminal (Avonmouth Dock) is just six miles from Bristol city centre, while the new Bristol Portbury Cruise Terminal lies across the river mouth, eight miles outside the city. The port for cruises from Bristol has excellent transport links, with motorway and rail links directly at the port.
