Barcelona, one of Europe’s most popular cruise ports, is set to introduce a new cruise passenger tax in 2024, aimed at managing the influx of tourists and addressing environmental concerns. This new levy will be applied to all cruise passengers docking in the city, with funds directed toward improving infrastructure and supporting environmental projects.
For travelers frequently cruising the Mediterranean, this change will impact itineraries stopping in Barcelona, though the additional fee is expected to be modest. While cruise lines have expressed concerns over rising costs, the city believes this move is essential for managing tourism’s impact on local resources.
Barcelona remains a top destination for holidaymakers, and this new tax will likely push cruise operators to emphasise the positive environmental impacts of the funds.
