History
Intercruises was founded in 2003 with a vision of ensuring cruise lines consistently received high quality ground handling and port agency support. The business started with a single cruise line client in the Port of Barcelona, but since then has grown to deliver operations to almost all major and niche cruise lines, with a global coverage encompassing every continent and over 400 sea ports worldwide.
