The port of Piraeus opened the 2026 cruise season with strong momentum, marking another year of strong presence on the map of the Eastern Mediterranean.
According to PPA S.A., whose Chairman is Han Chao, the first cruise ships to sail were the Viking Vesta and the MSC Lirica, officially inaugurating the new arrivals period.
The start of this year’s season comes in the wake of a particularly successful 2025, during which 863 cruise ship arrivals and a record 1.85 million passengers were recorded.
These figures confirm the pivotal role of Piraeus as a home port but also as a leading transit station for international cruise companies. With modern infrastructure, upgraded services and a strategic geographical location, the port continues to enhance its competitiveness.
