Lisbon is the port-city to welcome the major biennial cruise event focused on the world’s second largest cruise destination – the Mediterranean and its adjoining seas: Seatrade Cruise Med 2018.
Port of Lisbon Authority will host more than 4.000 participants during the days of the exhibition and conference where exhibitors from all around the world come together, showcase their products, demonstrate exciting new innovations on the exhibition floor, discuss on the latest trends and topics affecting the region, complemented by an exciting social programme.
Lídia Sequeira, President of the Port of Lisbon Authority (APL), says “This is a recognition of the work we have been doing in the cruise sector for many years. The expectation is that this event will contribute to give an important boost to the local and national economy of this sector, now that Lisbon is equipped with the state-of-the-art conditions to welcome all the cruise ships and their guests.”
Ana Lourenco director of the Cruise Department and member of the MedCruise BoD, responsible on the relations with other associations, adds “For me it is a real pleasure to have the opportunity to welcome all the cruise family in Lisbon and to show the best our destination has to offer. For many years we have been investing in the business and today, with the new Cruise terminal together with the modern and vibrant city, Lisbon has all the conditions to become a must-see cruise destination! We are looking forward to welcome you all in September 2018!”
