In all, 61 ships, ten more than last year, have berthed, which works out at an average of just over more than one per week.<\/p>\n<p>Still pending final passenger figures, which will exceed 80,000, this has been, without any doubt, a very positive year for cruise tourism in the Basque Country.<\/p>\n<p>Of the total number of calls, ten were first-time, six overnight, and on two occasions three vessels coincided on the same day. Today, Hapag Lloyd\u2019s Europa (RCCL Group) and P&amp;O\u2019s Aurora, (Carnival Group) have closed the season. The Europa berthed at 7.00 a.m. and will depart at 8.00 p.m., while the Aurora arrived at 7.45 a.m. and sails at 5.00 p.m. The Europa brought 279 passengers on board of whom 266 disembarked and the Aurora arrived with 1,912. Today, nearly 2,500 tourists passed through the Getxo Cruise Passenger Terminal.<\/p>\n<p><\/div><div class=\"one_half column-last bbcol\"><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_23081\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23081\" style=\"width: 535px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a class=\"thickbox\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bilbaoport.eus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Aurora-yEuropa-25-oct-172-2.jpeg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-23081\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-23081 size-medium\" title=\"Cruise ships AURORA and EUROPA\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bilbaoport.eus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Aurora-yEuropa-25-oct-172-2-535x346.jpeg\" alt=\"Cruise ships AURORA and EUROPA\" width=\"535\" height=\"346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bilbaoport.eus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Aurora-yEuropa-25-oct-172-2-535x346.jpeg 535w, https:\/\/www.bilbaoport.eus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Aurora-yEuropa-25-oct-172-2-150x97.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.bilbaoport.eus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Aurora-yEuropa-25-oct-172-2.jpeg 1064w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 535px) 100vw, 535px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-23081\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cruise ships AURORA and EUROPA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Port Authority of Bilbao is satisfied with this increase, which has been influenced by intense commercial work and the new passenger terminal.<\/p>\n<p>In March at the Miami \/ Fort Lauderdale Fair \u2013 the most important on the international circuit \u2013 the plans for 2018 will be made known.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/p>\n <div class=\"hide-for-small page-options-container hide-for-print\"> <hr class=\"page-options\"\/> <ul class=\"inline right page-options\"><li><a class=\"bmprint\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Print this article\"><i class=\"icon-print\"><\/i><\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"bmsend2friend\" href=\"mailto:?subject=Article of interest: Port of Bilbao closes record cruise ship season today -
