The Bristol Port Company

About

The Bristol Port Company was formed in 1991 when entrepreneurs Terence Mordaunt and David Ord purchased the Port of Bristol from Bristol City Council. Since privatisation over £600 million has been invested to create a modern, thriving business offering the full range of shipping, distribution and logistics services.

One of the Port's trades is cruise and Bristol Cruise Terminal is the maritime gateway of the South West. The location is second to none with excellent, uncongested motorway and rail access directly at the Port and unrivalled quality and variety of excursions within 90 minutes. Cruise embarkation takes place at Royal Portbury Docks with fast, easy access from the M4 and M5 Motorways, high security and on-site parking.Bristol Port also provides an exceptionally attractive Port of Call for cruise lines keen to offer passengers the opportunity to come to a port they may not have visited before with every sort of excursion nearby. Transit calls can be accommodated at Avonmouth and Royal Portbury Docks.

The range of high quality day excursions available from Bristol is exceptional; Bristol itself has a fascinating history, Bath is close by and Stratford-upon-Avon, Oxford and Stonehenge are all within easy reach. There is a fabulous selection of sporting facilities in the area including three Championship golf courses at Ryder Cup venue Celtic Manor. There are direct motorway and rail links at the Port so the opportunities for innovative day excursions to excite passengers are unlimited.
