A new terminal designed to accommodate the largest operating cruise vessels, is scheduled to open in the summer at DP World Limassol port.
The new terminal consists of seven pods with an internal area of 7,000 m2. Along with 24-hour availability the terminal offers integrated ser[ds_preview]vices including Home Call and Day Call handling capability, ensuring an improved customer experience.
DP world Limassol has a draft of up to 11 m (tide free) and three 400 m berths that can accommodate cruise vessels. It is the third addition to the cruise terminal portfolio that DP World operates globally, after cruise terminal operations in Mina Rashid, Dubai and Quinquela Martin, Argentina.
Limassol is one of the major destinations in the Mediterranean for the cruise industry with the opportunity to be the first port of call for cruise lines after transiting the Suez Canal. The terminal offers fast turnaround times for connections to both Larnaca and Paphos international airports.
DP World Group Chairman & CEO Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, said: »Cyprus is a centre for tourism and trade across the Mediterranean Sea and beyond and we are delighted to help develop its cruise capability. The terminal is another example of how partnerships with Government on infrastructure projects help boost economies, creating jobs and prosperity for the country and its people.«
