Bremerhaven Cruise Port Kicks Off 2025 Season Under GPH

Bremerhaven Cruise Port, managed by Global Ports Holding (GPH), officially launched its 2025 cruise season.

In a press release, the port highlighted the successful start, with the inaugural week featuring visits from TUI Cruises’ Mein Schiff 3 and Phoenix Reisen’s Amera. Over 5,900 passengers were welcomed during the week, with two homeporting operations completed seamlessly.

The smooth operations were attributed to the collaborative efforts of the GPH regional operations team and the port staff.

Timo Schön, general manager of Bremerhaven Cruise Port, expressed enthusiasm for the season's start, saying, “We are thrilled to host both ships during our opening week and to begin this exciting chapter under Global Ports Holding. Together with our dedicated team, our focus is on delivering exceptional service, showcasing the unique charm of Bremerhaven, and positioning the port as a key homeport within the region.”

Looking ahead, Bremerhaven Cruise Port expects over 90 ship calls and 300,000 passengers for the 2025 season. Its strategic location serves as a vital gateway for Scandinavian and Baltic Sea cruise itineraries, reinforcing its importance within the global cruise network.

Global Ports Holding assumed control of Bremerhaven Cruise Port in 2023, officially beginning operations in January 2025, according to the press release.
