BERGÉ, through its port operations and ship agency services division, has positioned itself as one of Spain's leading cruise companies and boasts an extensive international network of sub-agents. Currently, BERGÉ handles 16% of cruise ships and 10% of cruise passenger traffic arriving in Spain (4,400 ships and 10,178,000 people according to State Ports), representing approximately 700 cruise ships and 1 million passengers.
In this sense, BERGÉ operates in the cruise terminals of the Spanish ports with the highest traffic in Europe, such as Barcelona (first European destination), Malaga and Cadiz, as well as Portimao in Portugal.
According to the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), 2018 saw 28.2 million cruise passengers worldwide, and estimates project 30 million passengers for the current year.
During the week of April 8-11, BERGÉ will attend the most important international event in this business sector, the Seatrade Global Cruises trade show. This event, which takes place annually at the Miami Beach Convention Center in Florida, attracts approximately 11,000 professionals. The importance of cruise traffic from North America to Europe, with its consistently growing passenger numbers, is particularly noteworthy.
BERGÉ, with over 25 years of experience in the cruise industry, will present its extensive portfolio of services at this trade fair. This offering encompasses logistics and stowage services for shipowners and major cruise lines, including provisioning, agency and auxiliary services (customs management, as well as passenger and crew support in terms of mobility, accommodations, and baggage handling), and provisioning. This comprehensive service coverage makes BERGÉ the only company in Spain capable of providing all types of services to the cruise sector in a fully integrated manner. In addition, BERGÉ also offers excursions and other services for specialized vessels such as yachts and megayachts.
