Cruise Services in Cornwall

Shore Excursions

‍

With our vast network of local Cornish expertise, we can design and deliver authentic Cornish shore excursions from the ports of Falmouth and Fowey for your cruise guests. Within our programmes we offer an opportunity for our mutual guests to delve deeper into the local culture hence gaining a greater understanding of the destination whilst connecting with the local community.

Cornwall has so much to offer as a county and we can offer excursions to capture a variety of interests including history and heritage, arts and culture, nature, wellness, Cornish food and drink and all of the great gardens.

Cornwall Discovered can design bespoke arrangements for individuals aboard your ship and can quote based on transport only, a programme escorted by a local Cornish representative or a programme guided by an official Blue Badge guide.

Which ports?

‍

Fowey

Nestled into a stunning stretch of Cornwall’s south coastline, Fowey boasts a deep natural harbour that has paved the way for its important trading history (in particular the China Clay industry) – and nowadays allows cruise ships to drop anchor very close to the town’s Albert Quay, resulting in one of the shortest tender rides a cruiser can encounter. Once ashore, and walking through the narrow streets which are bustling full of quirky pubs and restaurants, boutique shops and galleries, and the occasional palm tree, you could easily mistake it for the Mediterranean –of course, the weather may not be guaranteed though!

‍

Falmouth

Characterised by its deep natural harbour, the deepest natural harbour in Western Europe, Falmouth has been an important shipping port throughout the years and now in more recent years, it has become somewhat of a cruising hub for Cornwall. Well located to many of the highlights of West Cornwall, it is an ideal base. Famous for its maritime history and boasting an incredibly impressive marina right opposite to where the cruise ships dock, Falmouth has become a fashionable destination and one that is very easy to explore on foot.

‍

Plymouth

Although not located in Cornwall, but in our friendly neighbouring county of Devon, the port of Plymouth acts as a major gateway to the South West and has an impressive history. Famous for its maritime heritage and in particular the departure of the Mayflower in 1620, Britain’s Ocean City has lots to offer the modern-day explorer. With the port situated less than 1km from the city centre, it is also well located for hopping over the Tamar Bridge and discovering Cornwall.
