Vigo Cruises: Discover the Magic of the Sea
If you've ever dreamed of a cinematic sea adventure, on your next holiday try Vigo cruises — an unmatched experience. This Atlantic city is one of the ideal provinces to leave dry land and drift on the waves toward a world of fun.
Vigo cruises: all welcome aboard
In 2023, Vigo is expected to become a strategic stop for hundreds of cruise ships and sport boats. Themed ships for families and adults-only boats. Many options to choose from — boats with slides, cinema and water sports. This year the coast even welcomes a Guinness World Record-winning ship for its viewpoint, the Ovation of the Seas.
The port has incomparable natural beauty and the city is cradled by green protective mountains. The view from any ship's deck is photo-worthy and will push you to come ashore and explore.
Sea tourism: how Vigo cruises work
The main way to reach Vigo is by ship. The city can be the destination itself or part of the journey.
The Cruise Terminal
Vigo's port is the largest in any Spanish ría. Because of its huge tourist appeal, it has become a Cruise Terminal — notable for its Trasatlántico Pier.
The former Maritime Station, now the Cruise Terminal, offers all the services of a terminal — comfortable waiting hall, free internet, travel agency info, customer service and more.
Here begins the magic of Vigo cruises: you can start the cruise of your choice. The alternative is to disembark and enjoy the various activities programmed for tourists.
Tours for cruise passengers
Cruises spend many hours at sea, but there's room in the itinerary for on-land fun. The city has services and routes for cruise passengers. Stroll the A Laxe shopping centre — clothes, gifts, toys and electronics. Plus great bars and restaurants and a small museum.
Start a cruise across the Atlantic
If you plan to depart on a Vigo cruise, consider a transatlantic. You'll travel and see different European coasts with all the comforts a ship can offer. Vigo's location makes it a major tourist crossroads — a meeting point between Galicia and Northern Portugal, so you can easily enjoy both regions.
Gastronomy: dishes you won't find at "Seven Seas"
Vigo's tourism, fishing and trade are not new, nor is its cuisine. All ingredients from the sea served in fine dishes. The city safeguards seafood and fish preparations rarely found elsewhere — both the recipe heritage and the quality of the raw materials are unique to this region.
Entertainment, attractions, history and food make Vigo cruises memorable. The best way to enjoy this trip is via a tourism agency that helps you choose the best package.
