Swansea - Port Information

A great place for cruise excursions, day trips, and shore days.

Swansea is a major city with a population of 225,000. The dock area of Swansea is heavily industrialised and much of the surrounding area was at the centre of Britain's industrial revolution with its coal mines, iron works and copper smelting. However the centre and waterfront of Swansea town itself has been transformed in recent years and had much to recommend it. With the city area are the ruins of the castle, the marina, an art gallery and museum, the Dylan Thomas centre and the largest covered market in Wales. The city is a major shopping centre and boasts a major maritime museum.

Visitors arriving on cruise ships who want to see more than the city centre have the opportunity to visit the nearby Gower Peninsula which has award winning bays and beaches and a captivating countryside. They will also want to visit the picturesque village of Mumbles which has a famous medieval castle, ice cream parlours, boutiques and galleries together with a fascinating Victorian pier. Castles and celebrated gardens abound in this area together with the natural wonders of Aberdulais falls and the National Showcaves Centre for Wales.
