Forget the clear blue waters of the Mediterranean.

If you’re thinking of taking a luxury cruise there’s a new destination you mustn’t miss...Chatham.

In September, the 11,000-ton cruise ship Black Prince will be visiting Chatham as part of a 10-day cruise around the UK.

The 412 passengers are looked after by a crew of 250. It is thought to be the first time any cruise liner has berthed in the town.

The ship will arrive early morning on Monday, September 14, and berth at Chatham Docks, when many of the 400-plus passengers will be taking sightseeing excursions to Canterbury and elsewhere. The ship will depart late the same evening.

It will be the final cruise by Black Prince, operated by Fred Olsen Lines, before the vessel is retired in October after 43 years’ service.
