Three new luxury-premium ships will visit the port for the first time in the coming days. One of the most awaited seasons for cruise tourism in Malaga has begun. The port expects to receive 117 calls until the month of November, thus maintaining the figures of the previous year.

The positive evolution of the flow of passengers from the end of 2022 to the present day, which is moving with total normality after the pandemic period, reveals that there may be a significant increase in cruise passengers in relation to the same season of the previous year, and may reach around 200,000 passengers between the months of September and November.
