The new passenger terminal coming to Ferrol is expected to be operational by spring next year.
The announcement was made during a joint presentation by the port authority and Global Ports Holding at Seatrade Cruise Med 2026.
Ferrol-San Cibrao Port Authority awarded GPH a 30-year concession to build and operate the cruise terminal at the Port of Ferrol.
José Antonio Álvarez Vidal, president of the Ferrol-San Cibrao Port Authority, said the cruise facility will help boost passenger traffic, showcase the region's tourism appeal and strengthen the connection between the port and the city.
GPH regional director, West Med, Francesc Grau stated: "Ferrol represents an important addition to our West Mediterranean and Atlantic portfolio, strengthening our presence in Spain and expanding our reach across the region. We look forward to supporting the new cruise terminal project as it continues to develop and to the opportunities it will create for both the port and the destination.
"Our aim is to support Ferrol's long-term growth as a cruise destination while ensuring it benefits from the experience, standards and connectivity of GPH's wider regional network."
Construction is expected to begin this year.
Ferrol joins GPH's network of 35 ports worldwide, serving more than 22 million passengers.
