Taranto Cruise Port is proud to be part of the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower programme, helping us provide a more accessible and inclusive experience for all guests. The Sunflower symbol allows people with non-visible disabilities, conditions or chronic illnesses to discreetly indicate that they may need additional time, understanding or support. Our team has received dedicated training to recognise the Sunflower and assist guests throughout their port experience.

Taranto Cruise Port took part in the second edition of the global initiative organised by Global Ports Holding (GPH).
Under the slogan “From Port to Port, It’s in Our Hands”, volunteers gathered on Punta Rondinella beach to make a tangible contribution to cleaning up the coastline and to raise awareness of the importance of protecting the marine ecosystem.
The day serves as further proof of our commitment to a cleaner and more sustainable future, through concrete actions and an ever-greater focus on safeguarding the environment.
Our sincere thanks go to all the volunteers who took part with enthusiasm and dedication. Together we can make a difference, leaving a positive and lasting mark on our local area and the environment around us.

The new Taranto Cruise Port terminal, set to open in 2026, is designed to enhance efficiency and passenger experience, ensuring a smooth flow of travelers and luggage. With sustainability at the core of the project, the terminal will feature eco-friendly materials, renewable energy sources, water-saving systems, and intelligent climate control to minimize environmental impact. Its smart architectural design maximizes natural ventilation and lighting, while solar panels will contribute to energy self-sufficiency. This new facility will not only boost Taranto’s appeal as a Mediterranean cruise destination but also support local tourism growth and economic development, setting a new standard for sustainable maritime tourism.
