In fact, the last cruiseship to dock in Motril Port was in November 2019, disgorging 9,415 passengers whose trade brought a welcome relief to the Motril tourism trade, specifically to the the whole of western Costa Tropical in general.

We’re looking at the first cruise ships arriving at the end of this month; Bolette belonging to Fred Olsens Cruise Lines and World Navigator belonging to Mystic Cruises.

The former has a crew of 615 and a passenger capacity of 1,338. As for the latter, which is classed as a luxury cruise ship, it has a crew of 125 and accommodation for 196 passengers.

Nine other cruise ships will arrive before the 2021 season ends in November, amongst them a tall-ship like the one above.
