Two cruise ships will coincide in the terminal of the port of Bilbao in Getxo this Thursday, 30 September

This week the cruise liner terminal of the port of Bilbao in Getxo will welcome five cruise ships of between 223 and 239 metres in length. This is undoubtedly excellent news after the suspension of this traffic due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

On Thursday, two cruise ships will be arriving at more or less the same time with a number of passengers still to be confirmed: Marina, also owned by Oceania, which will arrive at 10.00h, and Borealis, from the Fred Olsen company, which will dock at 11.00h. Friday will see the arrival of Seaventure, of Viva Cruises, and on Sunday the Regal Princess, of the Princess Shipping Company, will dock. These cruise ships are represented by Incargo, A, Pérez y Cía and Transcoma.
