Klaipeda port companies are pleased that 64 cruise ships will be coming in this summer. Cruise season in the port city was launched on 8 May with the sailing of 290-metre-long sea giant Costa Pacifica.
The last ship, Aston, will visit Klaipeda this season on October 3. Specialists say cruise shipping this year is almost record high. So many ships sailed to Klaipeda only in 2007, prior to the financial crisis.
For example, in 2013 only 40 cruise liners visited the seaport. On 17 June the city should be visited by a cruise liner of previously unseen size, 317-metre-long Celebrity Eclipse which is sailing under the flag of Malta.
