• Mediterranean ports: transit cruise passengers 2020

The number of transit cruise passengers at Mediterranean ports declined significantly in 2020 over the previous year, as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. In 2020, Tenerife ports recorded the highest figure, with over 241 thousand passengers. However, ports in Tenerife registered roughly 857 thousand transit cruise passengers in 2019. Overall, as the number of transit cruise passengers declined sharply in 2020, so did the number of embarking and disembarking cruise passengers at Mediterranean ports.
