Cruise call

The Department of Tourism (DOT) celebrates the arrival of Carnival Cruise Line’s Carnival Panorama, the 61st luxury liner cruise ship to make a port of call in the Philippines this year, as part of the Department’s ongoing efforts to position the country as a cruise hub in Asia. The 1,055-foot-long vessel docked at the Eva Macapagal Super Terminal, South Harbor, Manila, on Oct. 18, 2024, ahead of the most anticipated country’s hosting of Seatrade Cruise Asia 2024, marking Carnival Cruise Line’s inaugural voyage to the Philippines.
