As reported by The News, All Leisure Holidays (ALH), which owns cruise firms calling into the city, cancelled thousands of bookings and left holiday makers in the lurch after it collapsed.
Rupert Taylor, harbour master at Portsmouth International Port said: ‘We are saddened to learn the news regarding All Leisure Holidays.
‘ALH successfully based their Northern European summer cruise season from the Port during the last six years.
‘ALH accounted for 19 of our current 47 cruise ship bookings for 2017. Whilst this is disappointing it accounts for less than one per cent of the port’s total income.
