The next 2023-2024 cruise season in the city has confirmed 44 calls so far, however, Chubut’s cruise ambassador, Germán Manterola, is in Europe to generate the arrival of more ships that will begin next October.
Diego Pérez, head of the local Port Administration, said that on the issue of cruises “we need to do basic work, create conditions, have a commercial policy at the national level that helps us support the cruise activity that is so important for tourism throughout the country, and obviously in Puerto Madryn, and Chubut.”
The national secretary of Tourism, Daniel Sicioli, accompanied the Argentine delegation to the American city of Miami in the month of April, where the world cruise fair is held, where the issue of the waterway is on its agenda, so The administrator of the Appm will meet with him, and the Minister of Tourism of Chubut, Diego Lappena.
“We are working on a patch for next season, but the main cruise ports are committed to working in the long term that allows shipping companies to plan their calls with more peace of mind. We are on that path,” said Pérez.
This season the Royal Caribean shipping company will not come to any national port, “due to the great conflict we have over the value of the waterway, which is being worked on. I speak almost day to day with the authorities of the General Port Administrator. The Province, the Secretary of Tourism of the Nation, Daniel Scioli, who will be accompanying us this week, is committed to this, and for the 2024-2025 season Royal has recovered.”
