The cruise season in the port of Santander began on April 8 with the arrival of Aida Cara, and will last until October with Thomson Spirit. This year, as a novelty, there will be a Christmas cruise that will arrive on December 26.
Santander is firmly betting on the cruise activity, and every year receives more scales of tourist ships. In 2013 there will be 14 ships that will be the city, compared to 10 in 2012, and the forecasts are that in 2014 increase the number of cruises that reach the Puerto Santander. Regarding the number of passengers, in 2013 it is planned to be more than 20,000, more than double than in 2012, when 10,000 were touched.
As positive data of this campaign, to point out that two new shipping companies that had not stopped before in Cantabria, the British Saga and Thomson will arrive. For its part, the AIDA company will bring Santander five times to its new Aida Stella ship, which has just left the shipyard.
