Capital Cruising is closing its 2026 Scottish season after welcoming 155 vessels and more than 238,000 passengers to the Forth and Tay. AIDAsol is scheduled to make the final call this month at the deep-water anchorage at Newhaven. The Forth Ports cruise business expects further growth in 2027, with Dundee attracting increasing interest from cruise lines. This year’s Scottish programme included 13 inaugural calls across its ports and anchorages. “Scotland continues to be an attractive draw for cruise lines who call into our ports and anchorages each year, and more importantly, book to return,” said Craig Torrance, Asset Manager for Capital Cruising. AIDA Cruises vessels made seven calls during 2026, with six already booked for next year. Torrance said cruise visits generate economic benefits and employment locally and nationally, bringing passengers to attractions and major events beyond Edinburgh. The Scottish operation covers Leith, Rosyth and Dundee, alongside the deep-water anchorages at Newhaven and South Queensferry. Its cruise calendar traditionally extends from April through October. ## Dundee growth and a busy July expected Capital Cruising expects July 2027 to be particularly busy, with The Open golf championship in St Andrews adding to the summer cruise schedule. Dundee typically receives up to about 15 cruise ships and as many as 15,000 passengers per season. Ships mainly use King George V Wharf within the commercial port on the River Tay, generally berthing alongside rather than requiring tender transfers. A small terminal or marquee supports passenger check-in, embarkation and disembarkation. Although the port is close to central Dundee, including the V&A Dundee and RRS Discovery, access through working dock areas is restricted. Passenger transfers can involve an arranged shuttle or taxi, or an approved walking route, depending on the berth and security arrangements. ## London calls continue beyond the Scottish season Capital Cruising’s London operation serves 15 cruise lines throughout the year. Of the 101 calls scheduled for 2026, 15 remain as the Scottish programme draws to a close. The London business includes Tilbury’s Grade II-listed terminal, Britain’s oldest surviving passenger terminal built specifically for that purpose, together with moorings at Greenwich and Tower Bridge. The moorings provide access to central London. Scotland’s next season will begin earlier than the customary spring opening, with Viking Libra due at Rosyth in January 2027. The ship will arrive after embarking guests at Capital Cruising’s Greenwich facility in London. _Compare_ current British Isles cruise fares_on Cruise Lookup._

CAPITAL Cruising has concluded its Scottish season with the arrival of the final ship at the deep-water anchorage in Newhaven. The AIDAsol sailed into the Forth as part of a Scottish highlights tour, giving passengers the chance to visit Edinburgh, and was the seventh AIDA vessel to call in Scotland this year, with six more visits booked for 2027. Cruise teams and volunteers welcomed 155 vessels into the Forth and Tay during the 2026 season, bringing more than 238,000 passengers to Scotland.

Stornoway completed a record 2026 cruise season with 86 calls and just over 70,000 passengers. AIDAsol made the year’s final scheduled visit, carrying close to 2,000 passengers to the Isle of Lewis port. Passenger numbers increased by roughly 39% from the 50,500 recorded in 2025. This was the port’s third full season with its £50 million Deep Water Terminal, which can accommodate vessels up to 360 metres long. Despite poor summer weather, only four calls were cancelled because of conditions. “We've had some very good feedback from the businesses within Stornoway,” said Kirsty Hutchison, cruise and marketing manager at Stornoway Port, adding that “the impacts are wider than just the port.” Hutchison put passenger spending in 2025 at around £68 per person, excluding prepaid excursions and port charges, with approximately £3 million going directly into the town’s economy. “So, the actual economic impact is a little higher,” Hutchison said. She gave no equivalent figure for the 2026 season. One business benefiting from cruise traffic is the Island Spirit Shop, operated by husband-and-wife team Ian and Mary Faller beside the passenger drop-off point in the town centre. Its location puts it on passengers’ route both when they arrive and before they board their bus. Ian Faller explained how the shop handles day visitors: “if they don't want to carry their purchases about, we keep them in the back shop for them with their name on it.” He said customers regularly suggested that the business needed larger premises, but stressed the importance of its current location. For 2027, Stornoway has 99 cruise vessels booked to visit. Passenger numbers are expected to exceed 100,000. _Compare_ current British Isles cruise fares_on Cruise Lookup._
