Southampton is the biggest trading and container port on the south coast of England as well as being a lively city. It has passenger ferries to the Isle of Wight and the Continent, and a large cruise ship terminal. Southampton's history stretches right back to the Roman occupation of Britain 1500 years ago. It has been a Royal city for well over 1000 years - from Alfred the Great's father, King Ethelwulf in 840AD, right up to our present Queen Elizabeth. Southampton Castle was built in the 12th century and by the 13th century Southampton had already become a leading port. The Mayflower, the Titanic and the Allied Invasion all left from the quays here. Consequently there is an excellent Maritime Museum here.

Southampton offers modern shopping complexes, many ancient buildings and its remaining stretches of medieval walls and fortifications, encircling the old town. At the heart of the city are the historic Central parks. Local landmarks and places of interest include King John's House (12th century), the 14th-century gates of the Norman town walls, Southampton Art Gallery, which specialises in 20th-century British art and the Southampton Hall of Aviation which depicts the history of aviation in the Solent area. The Roman settlement of Clausentum and the later Saxon town of Hamwih were located on the site of the city and The Museum of Archaeology illustrates important periods in local history. Southampton became a fashionable resort in the 18th century but during World War II the port was heavily damaged. Now it is a modern city and a premier liner port.

If you have time to spend in Southampton, then the Southampton Tourist Guides Association offer guided tours (some free) of this historic city and will bring the past alive for you.

Southampton has benefited from a significant level of investment and has four dedicated cruise terminals. A cruise from Southampton means no busy airports, no restrictions on hand baggage and as much cabin baggage as you need to enable you to start your holiday as soon as you arrive at the port.
