Spanning a 1.2km coastline along the Bosphorus, Galataport İstanbul, which features the world’s first underground cruise ship terminal and revitalizes one of the most prominent historical districts of the city, added another award to its roster of accolades. Galataport İstanbul won “Port of the Year” category at the 2022 Seatrade Cruise Awards, held during Seatrade Cruise Med, the premier cruise trade event on September 14 – 15 in Málaga, Spain. Galataport İstanbul’s innovative approach and innovations applied to operational processes, globally regarded as exemplary, were some of the factors that brought home the prestigious award for which many ports, including major US and UK competed.
