Overview
Southampton’s maritime status is a key part of the city’s identity. With over 240 cruise ships departing from its port every year, it is arguably the cruise capital of Europe. However, this city also has a lively arts scene, interesting museums and is in the process of some exciting new developments.
A new-look Southampton is set to emerge over the coming years. A central Cultural Quarter, including the Mayflower Theatre, the City Art Gallery, a proposed New Arts Complex and a Sea City Museum – which will have a climb-aboard scale model of the Titanic, which departed from the city – are to be developed, providing the city with a new heart.
