Palamós lies right in the heart of the Costa Brava, within one of the deepest bays in the Western Mediterranean. This port boasts the facilities, services and accesses to welcome large cruise ships sailing around the Mediterranean. Passengers arriving at Palamós can soak up an authentic maritime atmosphere, watch fishermen bringing catches in for auction or sunbathe on the town’s beaches, because the port is fully integrated into the urban landscape. Ports de la Generalitat helps promote Palamós as a port of call for cruise ships by taking part in national and international industry conferences, congresses and forums such as Seatrade and Seatrade Med. The port of Palamós has also been represented of MedCruise, the Association of Mediterranean Cruise Ports.
Costa Brava Cruise Ports is a group of public-sector entities which was formally constituted in February 2012 through a partnership agreement. The agreement, signed by Ports de la Generalitat, the Costa Brava Tourism Board, the town councils of Palamós and Roses, and the Chambers of Commerce of Girona and Palamós, sets out to develop and carry out promotional activities to boost the presence and growth of the Costa Brava ports, Palamós and Roses, within the Mediterranean cruise industry.
