Spain confirms pilot project to relaunch the country’s cruise
AFTER months of uncertainty, the Spanish government has announced that a pilot project will be conducted at the port of Barcelona, in conjunction with Costa Cruises and MSC to evaluate the reintroduction of cruises in the country this summer. The president of the port confirmed that the first cruise passengers will arrive in Barcelona in June, although they will not be permitted to visit restaurants, bars or shops.
The first liners will disembark at only 10 per cent capacity – that’s a maximum of 600 people per cruise on ships that can carry 5,500 passengers, and Costa will carry out Covid tests on all travellers; they’ll also be offered a PCR test before returning home after the trip.
