For cruises to Northern Europe, click

Cruises from Harwich depart in the summer.

This busy port town in southeast England boasts the prettiest beach in Essex and many historic attractions. The Maritime Museum and National Wireless and Television Museum are located in disused lighthouses. Also open to the public is the Harwich Redoubt Fort, an impressive circular fort built in 1808 to protect the city from Napoleonic invasion. Stop by the charming Ha'penny Pier Visitor Center -- the "official" starting point for a walking tour of Harwich -- to see seasonal exhibitions.
