<span style='color:#780948'>ARCHIVED</span> - Malaga cruises into January with eight luxury liner stopovers

The port of Malaga will play host to four different cruise ships making a total of eight berths in the month of January, a modest start to the year but an increase on the five stops made by liners last year.

Although the summer season is still a long way off, the Port Authority likes to keep some cruise traffic moving through the Andalucia municipality during the winter months.

What’s different this year is that two of the ships due in Malaga in January will actually dock in the port on several other occasions throughout the year.

The first two stopovers of the year occurred on January 3 with the arrival of the Norwegian Sun and the AidaStella. The 258-metre Sun was the last tourist liner to visit Malaga in 2022 and with its 2,323 passengers, was the first to arrive this year.

Calling at the ports of Cádiz, Lisbon, Funchal, Tenerife, Las Palmas, Lanzarote, Agadir, Casablanca and Gibraltar, the Norwegian Cruise Line ship, which will make its third stop on January 24, will maintain this same 11-day itinerary until on March 31, by which time it will have made 12 stops in Malaga.

This Sunday January 15 and Wednesday 25 the impressive 275-metre MSC Lirica will mark her maiden arrival of the year. From the Costa del Sol port, the ship carrying 2,548 passengers will make stops in Alicante, Genoa, Marseille, Barcelona, Tangier, Casablanca and Ceuta and continue to visit Malaga regularly until March 15.

Looking ahead to February, the Port Authority is expecting a total of seven cruise ship dockings.
