This year saw the opening of new terminals in Alicante, Fuerteventura, and Lanzarote, Prime locations in the Canary Islands. The company has initiated extensive construction efforts in multiple destinations, including The Bahamas, Antigua & Barbuda, St. Lucia, Spain, and Puerto Rico, channeling an estimated US$250 million into these developments.
The newly launched terminals in Lanzarote feature two main facilities: the Naos terminal, which spans approximately 1,106 m² and supports both transit and homeport operations, and the Los Mármoles terminal at around 556 m², which can accommodate three cruise ships simultaneously.
