17.04.2024 Taranto Kicks Off the Cruise Season with Azamara Pursuit

Today marks the beginning of the cruise season in Taranto, a moment eagerly awaited with enthusiasm and pride by the city and its port. The Azamara Pursuit made its first-ever call to our port, arriving for the first time in the "City of Two Seas." An event that, in addition to celebrating the start of a new season, also represents an important milestone in Taranto's journey as a prestigious cruise destination.

To celebrate this extraordinary occasion, Taranto Cruise Port organized the traditional crest exchange between the ship and the terminal, a symbolic ritual that strengthens the ties between the port and the ship, as well as the importance of fruitful collaboration with local authorities and industry partners.

Welcomed by water fountains and the warmth of our team, the guests aboard Azamara Pursuit had the chance to appreciate the beauty and hospitality of Taranto. The city, with its unique charm and rich historical and cultural heritage, offered visitors a glimpse of the region's wonders, ready to welcome cruise passengers with a smile and hospitality, making Taranto a privileged destination in the Mediterranean.

This first visit of Azamara Pursuit to Taranto marks the start of a season that promises to bring numerous visitors to discover the beauty of this extraordinary city, confirming its growing importance as a cruise destination. Our port, increasingly attentive to the needs of passengers and the improvement of services, is ready to welcome more ships in the coming months, with the goal of solidifying its position in the international cruise market.

A new chapter is opening for Taranto, and we are excited to experience this season's beginning together with our guests, with the hope that Azamara Pursuit will return to visit our city in the coming years.
