A £5 MILLION revamp of Southampton’s QEII cruise terminal will begin this winter.
The work, jointly funded by ABP Port of Southampton and Carnival UK, is being carried out over two phases in 2015/16 and will include a ship-to-shore walkway to replace the existing one, which was initially installed for Cunard’s Queen Mary 2. This will ensure a greater range of ships can use the terminal.
The upgrade will also include improvements to the existing check-in, baggage, and passenger X-ray areas, installing a 46-person lift and re-organizing the passenger drop-off area.
ABP Southampton director, Nick Ridehalgh, said: ‘The number of cruise passengers coming through Southampton’s port continues to rise, with 1.75 million expected to pass through this year. It’s therefore vital that we ensure our facilities are in the very best shape to accommodate these passengers and that they are laid out in a way that gives people a seamless and stress-free start to their holidays.’
