Aberdeen had a banner cruise season, handling a record 43,000 guests in 2025, which is up a huge 79% on last year.
It marks Aberdeen as one of the fastest growing cruise destinations.
The Port of Aberdeen handled a record 65 cruise calls, which has increasingly seen larger vessels docking at South Harbour.
The official cruise season ended a month ago in late September.
Aberdeen also hosted Cruise Britain’s annual summer event.
“Our investment in Aberdeen South Harbour has been a game-changer, unlocking substantial new opportunities for the cruise sector,” said Port of Aberdeen CEO, Bob Sanguinetti.
“This expansion is one of the key reasons behind the significant increase in cruise calls.”
