A new modern terminal designed to accommodate the largest operating cruise vessels, is scheduled to open in the summer at the Limassol port. The new terminal with an internal area of 7000 square meters, will be available on a 24-hour base, under the DP World management, jut the terminals 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. DP World, almost 6 months after taking charge at the Limassol port, is already expanding its operations and, according to its General Manager Charles Meaby, the creation of new employment opportunities is among its prospects.

The prospects of the port’s development in the area of passengers’ services are also enforced by the small-distance connections to both Larnaca and Paphos international airports. The favorable weather conditions throughout the year, the cultural heritage, the excursions and events are also considered advantageous.
