The cruise comes from Cádiz and, after Ceuta, it will travel to Alicante. Approximately 3,000 people travel on board, of which 2,200 are tourists of different nationalities, mainly Europeans and North Americans.
For the Ceuta Port Authority, it is fantastic that a company such as MSC Cruises, one of the most important in the sector, is trusting on Ceuta with more than 10 calls this year 2023. The company has also shown its satisfaction with the port infrastructures and services provided by the Ceuta Port Authority. It will not be until the beginning of next year when the MSC cruise calls will be repeated again. Tourist Services of Ceuta is preparing different excursions for those who decide to visit the city, either on foot – as the port of Ceuta is eminently urban, – or by bus transfers to the most far sights of the city such as the the famous viewpoints. Apart from that, the Confederation of Entrepreneurs and the Chamber of Commerce will have information points in our pier to make visitors aware of the different tourist possibilities in Ceuta that will make the call more attractive as well as the specific offer that Ceuta companies have prepared for tourists.
