The Port of A Coruña, in the NW corner of the Iberian Peninsula, has developed a steady strategy for a sustainable cruise tourism. In 2024 more than 400,000 passengers in 168 cruise calls visited our city and the schedule for 2025 will bring 180 calls and around 450,000 passengers.

With two dedicated Cruise Berths in the heart of the city, our port facilities and terminal offer quality services that satisfy cruise lines’ demands, as they trust the port of A Coruña when calling in their Atlantic itineraries. By 2027 the OPS connection will be available at both cruise berths, in line with the cruise industry sustainability strategy and EU net-zero goals.

Cruise guests have just a short walk distance from the terminal and are a stone throw away from main tourist venues. On the shores of A Coruña, a city that faces out onto the Atlantic, landed Celts, Phoenicians and Romans. In the second century AD, the Romans built the Tower of Hercules, the only remaining Roman lighthouse still in operation in the world, declared a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO in June 2009, and the city’s pride and joy. The historical city of Santiago de Compostela and the legendary Pilgrim's Way is one of the most demanded and enjoyable shore-excursions.

Each cruise call not only represents the arrival of thousands of visitors to A Coruña but also an economic impact that benefits the city and its local community. This activity contributes to creating the "A Coruña brand" internationally and reinforces its image as an attractive and cruise friendly destination. At the same time, it promotes the revitalization of the tourism and commercial sectors, generating new opportunities for the hospitality, retail, and local services industries, with a direct impact on economic and social development.
