Southampton has always been connected with the sea, and the harbour has been a major source of employment for the city. It was especially important port for pleasure cruise ships, which had their peak during the first half of the twentieth century, and particularly in the interwar years, it collected almost half the passenger traffic of the UK.

It continues to be home to several luxury liners, as well as the largest freight port on the coast of the Channel, with several container terminals.

Unlike many other British ports such as Liverpool, London and Bristol, where industry and port activities have left urban centers leaving room for redevelopment, Southampton retains within the town much of its industrial activity. Part of the port has been reused, however, to build the leisure center «Ocean Village».
