Palermo expanding capacity with new terminal and walkway project
Palermo opened its second cruise terminal (Cruise Terminal Sammuzzo) in May, covering 1,300 square metres, and announced plans for a 100-metre walkway to the city centre scheduled to open by end of 2026. The Sicilian port expects 270 calls and nearly one million passengers in 2026, with 340 calls planned for 2027. Both facilities are managed by West Sicily Gate, a venture between MSC Cruises and Costa Cruises, targeting 1.2 million cruise passengers.
