Coronavirus in A Coruña: The arrival of cruise passengers, in the air | Radio Coruña | Today for Today A Coruña

The arrival of cruises to A Coruña it is, at least for now, more of a wish than a reality. Like so many other things, the arrival of cruise passengers to our city in the coming months is in the air, they recognize from the sector. The next arrival is scheduled for the month of August, although it is not guaranteed.

The latest blow to the sector has been the mandatory quarantine that the United Kingdom applies to all those who have been in Spanish territory, without distinction of incidence of the pandemic. 90% of cruise passengers arriving in the city come from the United Kingdom. Luis del Moral, from Rubine and sons, consignee of cruise traffic in the Port of A Coruña, calls the measure absurd: “The British tourist is going to rethink whether he gets on the ship or not, because when he returns he has to being in quarantine, maybe he won’t get on the boat and cancel the boat. It’s a complete nonsense, we should try to help tourism, which is 25% of Spanish GDP, whether we like it or not. “

He Port of A Coruña will receive for the first time next year a cruise of Disney Cruise Line, specialized in themed cruises on the disney universe.

Thanks to an agreement with the company, the city will receive in September 2021 a stopover of the ship ‘Disney Magic’ and the port will also join one of “the most special routes” of the Disney Cruise Line offer, departing in Dover .

The ‘Disney Magic’, with capacity for 2,400 passengers and 300 meters in length, is one of the four main ships of Disney Cruise Line, and combines the design of classic ocean liners with exclusive facilities and services, with recreational spaces for all ages and very focused on the little ones.
