When you arrive in St. Peter Port cruise port, you’ll be taken by the English charm and French sophistication of this quaint town. St. Peter Port is the capital of Guernsey and is home to less than 20,000 people. On Ireland cruises, a stop in Guernsey provides an entirely different feel from the mainland, showcasing steep, beautiful cliffsides and views of Normandy and Jersey from the island.
As you pull into port, you’ll be greeted by rows of colorful fishermen’s houses stacked against one another. Explore Old Town on foot, taking your time strolling the cobblestone streets. See the ancient fortifications of Castle Cornet up close, or learn the history of the island at the museum there. Visit the home of author Victor Hugo, who lived in Guernsey during the 19th century. You’ll be charmed by Guernsey’s local dairy and cheese production and its quintessentially English beaches. Foodies will enjoy the area’s abundance of fresh seafood to sample.
