Between January and October, DP World Limassol accommodated 128 cruise ships and 154,000 passengers, while it expects an additional 35 vessels end of the year. This will bring the total to 163 expected arrivals, a considerable increase compared with 2021.

Passengers had the opportunity to tour Limassol and join organised excursions to other places of interest around the island, making a significant contribution to the local economy.

Nawaf Abdulla, CEO, DP World Limassol, expressed satisfaction over the port’s performance this year. “As a result of our ongoing, targeted efforts in coordination with the government, stakeholders, and local partners, Limassol port now attracts some of the world’s leading cruise lines. Cyprus’ cruise sector has demonstrated resilience despite the difficult circumstances of the past two years, recording its best performance in years.”

DP World Limassol expects to welcome over 210 cruise ships in 2023, with the company’s cruise business poised to sustain its strong performance over the next few years.
