A successful year of operations is being celebrated at the terminal, operated by Global Ports Holding, as it marks an important milestone for cruise tourism in Cape Verde. "These results highlight the port's growing role as a strategic gateway for cruises in the Atlantic, strengthening Cape Verde's position as an emerging destination and reflecting the strong collaboration between Global Ports Holding, Enapor (Ports of Cape Verde), local stakeholders, and the wider cruise industry," reported Mindelo Cruise Port.
