“Italy's cruise industry has risen and is now in line with the international trend, showing a constant growth. Projections for 2018 indicate an increase of 7.3% in terms of passenger traffic in the Italian ports: a positive result due mostly to the new units of the MSC Cruise fleet”
Sergio Senesi, president of Cemar Agency Network (Genoa)
After a drop in 2017, projections show now a recovery in terms of passenger traffic for 2018 in all Italian ports: 10,859,000 unità (+7.30% compared to 10,120,279 pax in 2017), despite a small drop in ships down to 4,564 units (-0.54% compared to 4,589).
In addition, there will be 141 (comapred to 138 in 2017) ships from 46 different companies navigating Italian waters. The first estimates for 2019 are also very good with a further and significant growth in the cruise industry in Italy with 11,400,000 passengers (+5.5%).
