‘This year's cruise ship schedule clearly indicates a positive recovery of the cruise industry,’ says Board of the Freeport of Riga's Viesturs Zeps
The Port of Riga anticipates a 30% increase this year on its average number of cruise calls.

‘This year's cruise ship schedule clearly indicates a positive recovery of the cruise industry,’ remarked Viesturs Zeps, chairman, Board of the Freeport of Riga. ‘At the same time, it is the result of relentless work of the Freeport of Riga Authority and its partners, who have been working systematically with international industry associations, cruise companies and ship agents throughout the pandemic with the aim to highlight Riga's benefits and excellence on the cruise route map.’

The port follows the ‘Management Plan to Mitigate Covid-19 Virus Spreading Risk’ developed by the Freeport of Riga Authority in cooperation with government institutions and based on ‘COVID-19: EU Guidance for Cruise Ship Operations’ guidelines. 

Riga has three terminals for cruise ships.
