54 cruise ships booked to visit Island in 2025

Douglas, Peel and Calf of Man all due to host visiting vessels

There's been a small rise in the number of cruise ships booked to visit Manx ports this summer.

A total of 54 vessels are expected this summer.

The first of the visiting ships is expected on 26 April, when Silver Endeavor is due to stop at the Calf of Man.

It'll be one of six vessels stopping at the Calf this year.

Douglas welcomes its first cruise passengers of the year on 2 May when Renaissance - an 1,100 capacity ship - will anchor in the bay.

The Manx capital will host the majority of vessels booked to visit this year, with 43 ships expected in the port.

Nieuw Statendam returns to the Island for a third straight year, and with a capacity of 2,666 will be the largest vessel visiting the Island in 2025.

It's first of four visits is scheduled for 12 May.

Peel will see five visits, including three from Hebridean Princess, which with a capacity of just 50 passengers is the smallest ship booked this year.

The cruise season will draw to a close on 21 September with two visits in Douglas from World Voyager and Hamburg.

The 54 vessels have a total capacity of just over 30,500 passengers - a small rise on 2024 when 52 ships carrying up to 27,000 were scheduled.
