IT’S ALL ABOUT THE?GUESTS IN TARANTO

For the new season Taranto Cruise Port launches a larger and improved cruise terminal with the aim of enhancing hospitality and encouraging the development of cruise ship turnaround activities, thus increasing the number of embarkations and disembarkations.

The new structure allows the Company to improve the tourist experience with a better Guest Information Center, a flagship service provided by Global Ports Holding’s cruise terminals, and to introduce new stores, which will boost the promotion of the territory and of local products.

Costa Cruises will be the main cruise company for the new season and will allow a substantial increase in the number of cruise passengers visiting and departing from the city of Taranto.

Thanks to these investments and the strengthening of the relationships with the Authorities, Taranto is increasing its attractiveness to travelers from all over the world. Taranto has been selected as the Destination of the Year at Seatrade Cruise Awards and has been developing as a cruise destination through collaboration of all stakeholders, with modern facilities and a range of services for visitors. The port is located near the historic city center and is within walking distance of many popular tourist attractions, including the Taranto National Archaeological Museum, the Aragonese Castle, and the Cattedrale di San Cataldo.

EXPERIENCE THE SARDINIAN CULTURE WITH CAGLIARI??

Cagliari itself is a beautiful city with a rich history and culture. The city is on the Gulf of Angels and boasts a mix of architectural styles, including ancient Roman ruins, medieval fortifications, and Art Nouveau buildings. Visitors can explore the historic old town, which is perched on a hill overlooking the sea, and take in stunning views of the city and surrounding countryside.

For the new cruise season Cagliari Cruise Port has invested in a renewed shopping experience within its cruise terminal featuring local products to promote the territory. This choice is part of the Company's "Glocal" strategy, GLObal reach, local touch, aimed at supporting the knowledge of local activities in the international cruise line market.

Right from disembarkation, the cruise passengers will find themselves immersed in Sardinian culture, food and wine, precious handicrafts, and folklore. It is important for us to introduce the city from the very first moments, before even leaving the port, the features of a region, Sardinia, increasingly known and appreciated throughout the world.

Cagliari Cruise Port is also strengthening the relationships with the Authorities and the Municipality, instrumental to the achievement of corporate goals and to the creation of events and initiatives that engage tourists. This enhances the already positive experience of cruise passengers who, year after year, visit Cagliari during their holidays.
