Cruises From Newcastle

Once the heart of northern England’s Industrial Revolution, today Newcastle is a stylish, urban hub cherished for its wealth of arts, music and sports. The friendly locals are proud of their Geordie culture, with a rich heritage of folk music and dance and their own distinct dialect.

Newcastle is also a popular base for exploring the Northumberland coast as well as Hadrian's Wall, the best-preserved frontier of the Roman Empire. A number of Roman forts, milecastles and temples are also scattered around the countryside. The Northumberland coast is a sweeping stretch of unspoilt, rugged beauty, lined with rural beaches that occasionally give rise to quaint piers of penny arcades and fish and chip shops.

The city of Newcastle was founded over two centuries ago as a Roman fort, the ruins of which still exist today at Segedunum. It boasts some of the most gorgeous Georgian architecture to be found anywhere in Europe. Grainger Town is the beautiful, historic heart of the city and a dazzling jewel of classical architecture. This former elegance is still very much a part of the city today, its streets alive with grace and culture from the excellent art galleries and magnificent concert hall to a number of fine restaurants.
