Cruise news: Cruises are avoiding Barcelona, as ships stop in Valencia instead

Thanks to the current diversions, more moorings have been reserved in the town of Valencia in anticipation that more civil unrest in Barcelona will see more ships diverted to the area.

Six spaces for large ships have been cleared for more cruises avoiding Barcelona.

According to the Port Authority, Valencia is expecting the arrival of ‘Costa Pacifica’, that was in Barcelona just yesterday. It has a length of 289 meters and a capacity of 3,780 passengers.

The Valencian Port estimates is that the city will receive 208 ships and 436,000 passengers this year, a figure similar to that recorded in the years before the economic crisis.
