Cruises from Leith

Cruises from Leith Port, which for centuries has acted as the port of Edinburgh and remains one of Scotland's larger ports. The modern harbour is located in South Leith which is only 3 miles from Edinburgh city centre. See all our cruises from Leith below and give one of our Cruise Experts a call on 0800 197 8050 today to begin your dream holiday.

Cruises from Edinburgh Leith

As one of Scotland’s main local cruise terminals, the Port of Leith is easily accessible by train, tram and bus from central Edinburgh. Alternatively, there is ample car parking at the port which can usually be added on or included as part of your package. Blue Car Park, Ocean Drive, has 1,600 car parking spaces available right by the Royal Yacht Britannia.

Due to the port’s size, Cruise Lines leaving Edinburgh-Leith are often smaller, luxury cruise ships such as Regent, Azamara, Oceania and Silversea - which are also typically all-inclusive as standard. However, other cruise lines such as Fred. Olsen and Ambassador do stop by as a port of call, as do larger cruise lines such as Royal Caribbean and Marella on occasion, although usually from further along the waterfront at nearby Newhaven Harbour.

Cruise holidays from Leith typically sail to Northern Europe, such as Norway, Iceland and Faroes, plus shorter cruises to the rest of Scotland and wider the British Isles. Due to cruise ships departing leith being smaller, they can typically dock where other larger vessels can’t, opening up a wider selection of ports of call to visit such as Oban, Kirkwall, Lerwick, Husavik and even docking further up river in central London and Dublin, meaning no long transfers into the city!

    Best Cruise Agency to use

    Always very helpful no matter what you ask even if it's something silly, always there for you - get the best deals for you. Elise has helped us get some good deals. My husband needs a mobilty scooter when we cruise it's not always easy to get accessible cabin for him but our agent Elise went through the whole year to find us a cabin. Which is greatly appreciated everyone we have spoken to with cruise Kings have been so kind and helpful nothing a problem we shall always book with them.
