"Throughout the month, 81,735 cruise passengers passed through the Port of Lisbon, 53% more than in June 2025 and far exceeding the previous record of June 2024, which was 60,922 passengers," it said in a statement.

The total number of port calls increased to 37, the highest this month and 32% higher than the same period last year, while transit port calls also set a record of 21, exceeding the 19 achieved in 2023.

This performance was driven by the 'turnaround' (embarkation and disembarkation of passengers who begin or end their cruise in Lisbon), which is "the segment that generates the greatest economic impact for the city and the region".

In the first half of the year, the Port of Lisbon recorded 302,496 passengers and 165 port calls, representing a 5% year-on-year increase in both indicators.

Turnaround passengers grew by 7%, while transit passengers increased by 4%.

For the Port of Lisbon, these indicators "demonstrate that Lisbon continues to strengthen its role as a port of origin and destination for cruise travel, a type of operation particularly valued by shipping companies and the local economy."
