The Barcelona harbour has reached a new record of cruises passengers in 2008 when 2.014.141 people came to Barcelona to take a Mediterranean cruise.
This increase in the traffic of passengers, confirm Barcelona as the leading European harbour and fifth in the world, behind the four Caribean harbours of Miami, Port Canaveral, Everglades and Cozumel.

On 2007 this harbour reached a total of 1.698.028 passengers, so the evolution in 2008 has been clearly positive with a 18.62 % of net increase. Besides this, the number of cruises that have come to Barcelona has also grown in a 9,1%, which means a total of 863 ships. One of the reasons of this great success apart of the importance of Barceloa in the Mediterranean sea and its great touristic and historic offer, is the change in the seasonality of this industry that has extended itself to autumn and winter. This is the case of companies like MSC, Costa, Norwegian Cruise and Royal Caribbean with whom LiveBarcelona works through indirect alliances.
