The Port Authority of Ceuta announces the arrival this Monday, November 26, 2018, of the cruise ship “Saga Pearl II,” which, handled by Global Agency Ceuta, will be docked between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. at the Muelle España (east side). The cruise ship will arrive in Ceuta from the port of Málaga and will depart for the port of Portsmouth.
This ship, 164 meters long and with a draft of 6.3 meters, has already called at our port in previous years, and belongs to the prestigious British shipping company Saga Cruises Ltd., which, by choosing the Port of Ceuta with this new call, confirms the shipping company's interest in including the port of Ceuta in its cruise itineraries.
Approximately 900 people on board, including passengers and crew
The “Saga Pearl II” ship carries approximately 400 passengers, mostly British, and around 300 crew members of various nationalities, who will have the opportunity to enjoy the usual tourist excursions in Ceuta and do some shopping during their stay in the city. To this end, the Ceuta Autonomous City Tourist Services will assist in welcoming the tourists, setting up a tourist information point near the ship's dock and providing buses to facilitate their transfer to the city center.
This cruise follows a 17-day tourist itinerary through Lisbon, Tangier, Melilla, Algiers, Mahon, Motril, Malaga, Ceuta and return to the British port of departure, Portsmouth.
The arrival of this new cruise ship confirms the positive results of the commercial efforts that the Port Authority has been carrying out in recent years, with its presence in international contracting forums and participation in associations for the promotion of this traffic, as well as the investments made in the Muelle España to accommodate these ships and receive their tourists, who during their stay will pass through our city to the benefit of its tourism and economic sector.
