Cruise tourism

Successful business visits to American cruise companies Crystal and Princess

Cruise tourism on the Costa Brava has shown remarkable growth and managers from Ports of Catalonia and Costa Brava Cruise Ports visited cruise companies Crystal and Princess in Los Angeles on 10 and 11 February 2016 following the success of last season. Various meetings with the executives from these two companies served to increase customer loyalty and gave the visitors an opportunity to present the new developments that Costa Brava Cruise Ports has designed for the 2017/2018 season in order to maintain and increase the number of cruise ports in the southern Mediterranean. A range of tourist activities and experiences related to the Costa Brava and Girona were showcased in an effort to promote the destination, including the can’t-miss El Celler de Can Roca, Dali Triangle, and Game of Thrones filming locations. The region’s attraction as a whole was crucial when creating itineraries with stops in the towns of Roses and Palamós.
