GRIMALDI GROUP opens a new Terminal at the Port of Barcelona







GRIMALDI GROUP has been offering regular Cruise Ferries and Fast Ro/Pax ferries on weekly basis from the Port of Barcelona for some years. GRIMALDI sails from the Catalan Capital daily, during the spring/summer months to Civitavecchia, (the Port of Rome) via Ponte Torres in Sardinia, this Historic Italian operator also sails four times a week to Livorno and Tangier once a week. Until the end of June GRIMALDI was using the ACCIONA Terminal, last September I have sailed from there on IKARUS PALACE to Livorno. After an investment of around 20 million euros GRIMALDI has inaugurated their brand new terminal, the 1st of July saw the opening of this brand new facility, a building dedicated to offices, a restaurant, a shopping area and conference room, the new terminal can embark 1800 passengers and disembark the same number of passengers at the same time, it has a total surface of 63.000 square metres, it is a very fine facility indeed, I was there last Saturday to take the CRUISE ROMA, one of GRIMALDI's new Cruise Ferries to Civitavecchia, there will be new updates of that fantastic experience coming here soon.
