Participants had the opportunity to outline their favourite cruise line, ship, and port experiences during the past year, along with the reason behind their choices.

The voting process consisted of a transparent methodology that enabled travellers to have the last word based on their personal experiences.

It also relied on an elaborate automated system that determined the final award-winning categories.

To ensure total objectivity and cleanliness of the results, the entire process was independently supervised by consulting firm We-iN which participated as the methodological and technological partner for the voting, selection of the finalists, and proclamation of the winners.

“In 2022 Valletta Cruise Port welcomed over 529,000 passenger movements with 35,000 passenger movements coming specifically from Spain not to mention other Spanish-speaking guests hailing from other countries,” Stephen Xuereb, COO of Global Ports Holding and CEO of Valletta Cruise Port said.

“It is indeed a pleasure to see our guests recognising Valletta Cruise Port’s efforts together with those of other key stakeholders in making their visit to our city a memorable experience.”

“As part of the Global Ports Holding network our trajectory is not only one of growth, but one of ensuring operational excellence.”
