The cruise industry is undeniably flourishing and it is predicted that over 27 million passengers will take to the seas throughout 2018. While this growth will provide an abundance of new opportunities and profits, it could also create issues with overcrowding and sustainability. 
The Port of Lisbon Authority (APL) has begun the count-down to Seatrade Cruise Med 2018 – the world’s largest cruise industry event focussed on the Mediterranean and adjoining seas – and this year, an integral element of the recently announced Portugal Shipping Week. 
The cruise industry came together during a special event held as part of Seatrade Cruise Global, celebrating the fact that MedCruise member port of Lisbon will be the one to host Seatrade Cruise Med event on 19-20 September 2018. 
The port of Lisbon expects 320 cruise calls and about 535,000 passengers in 2017, representing an increase of 2% compared to 2016 figures.
