Port of Lisbon Achieves Record June for Cruise Passengers and Ship Calls

The port also saw a record 37 port calls, a 32% increase from the previous year. This growth was driven by a significant rise in turnaround operations, where passengers begin or end their cruise in Lisbon, contributing greatly to the local economy.
