Madrid, February 7, 2018, NP. The Excellence Cruise Awards ceremony will be held on February 15 in Cartagena for the third consecutive year, this being the 11th edition.
The ceremony will bring together, as every year, the main executives of cruise shipping companies, cruise tour operators, shipping agents, ports and destinations, travel agents, press, collaborators, professionals and businesspeople from Cartagena and Murcia, and other suppliers in the sector.
The Cruise Excellence Awards are the result of a large-scale survey conducted among national cruise passengers, a fact that gives special value to the results, as they represent the assessment of the passengers themselves.
More than 300 attendees will fill the Paraninfo and enjoy a unique gala evening at this eleventh celebration of awards whose previous editions were held in Barcelona, Malaga, Bilbao and Palma de Mallorca.
This edition, promoted and sponsored by the Cartagena Port Authority, the Cartagena City Council and the Murcia Region Tourism Institute, also has the sponsorship of the Association of Maritime Activities Entrepreneurs (ASEAM) of Cartagena, the Almirante tourist train, Sureste Incoming, Cruises Atlantic Islands, Blazquez Cruises Maritime Agency, and Cruise-Friendly Commerce.
The choice of the city is due, among other considerations, to the consolidation of the Port of Cartagena as one of the Spanish destinations that has experienced the greatest growth in recent years. While Cartagena debuted as a cruise port in 2016, in 2017 it inaugurated new access points to its remodeled cruise terminal. For 2018, it has scheduled more than 140 cruise ship calls with over 200,000 passengers.
The awards are given in the following categories:
- Best Spanish Port
