Record number of cruise ship tourists calling at the Port of Leixões

The Port of Leixões registered in 2022 a new maximum in calls of cruise ships


The two dedicated terminals received 112 calls from cruise ships, surpassing the 101 calls recorded in 2018 and 2019, and which brought 108,626 passengers to the Port and North of Portugal through this port, in Matosinhos.

The total passenger movement in Leixões was higher than the total of 2019 (22.5% more than that registered in 2019, pre pandemic) and only lower than the maximum recorded in 2018 (only -7%), thus becoming the 2nd best year ever for the activity.

Remember that 2022 was the year of resumption of activity after almost two years stopped by the pandemic. At the beginning of the year, the ships were sailing at only one third of their capacity, for safety reasons.
