Harwich Cruise Guide
The town is small, but it's well placed for visits to centres like Colchester, Ipswich and the delightful rural countryside of south Suffolk and north Essex, as depicted by painter John Constable.
Harwich provides a perfect opportunity to experience the quieter countryside of England. Welcoming pubs and pretty countryside await those who choose to explore.
But if the big city appeals, London is just 90 minutes away by direct train from the cruise terminal.
