Cruise tourism in the Balearic Islands is soaring, with nearly 500 ship calls expected by August 2025. Passenger arrivals between January and July reached 1.4 million, up 9.4% from 2024, while Palma and Alcudia continue to attract major liners such as Brilliance of the Seas. Authorities credit modern ports, natural beauty, and cultural appeal for the growth, which is strengthening the islands’ economy and solidifying their role as a Mediterranean cruise hub.
