Did you know that the Port of Southampton handles more 1.5 million cruise passengers every year?   And I bet you didn’t know that the port (as well as being one of the most important in Europe) dates back to the Roman occupation, some 2,000 years ago!

And for these (and more) fascinating facts from the infographic below, we have our friends at www.cruise1st.co.uk to thank!
