THE Port Authority of #Barcelona has welcomed an investment of more than €30 million (£21.3 million) to build and operate a second private #cruise terminal.
The cash will come from Carnival Corporation, which presently has seven of its ten cruise lines using Barcelona as both a destination and home port.
Construction of the new terminal will start in 2016, and it’s scheduled to be operating in 2018.
‘As an all-new, next-generation cruise facility, the terminal will be designed to enhance the overall cruise experience for Carnival Corporation’s guests,’ said Michel Nestour, managing director of Carnival Corporation terminal operations in Barcelona. ‘This will include making it easy and convenient for guests, whether they are arriving at the terminal to begin a cruise vacation, disembarking following the completion of a cruise or visiting Barcelona as one of the ports of call on a cruise.
Across its six existing terminals in 2014, the Port of Barcelona had 764 cruise calls and over 2.36 million passenger movements. It is Europe’s largest port, and the world’s fourth busiest.
