Casablanca: The New Cruise Terminal Welcomes Its First Ship

In a warm atmosphere enlivened by musical performances, passengers from the Island Sky, carrying around one hundred travelers, discovered an international-standard facility offering a digitalized and seamless experience, combining safety, comfort and quality service.

“It is a wonderful opportunity for us to be the very first ship to dock at the new Casablanca cruise terminal. It is rare to have the privilege of inaugurating such an infrastructure,” said George Robert Hendry, captain of the Island Sky.

“We are very pleased to see that this terminal fully meets the needs of all types of vessels,” he told the press, adding: “As a captain, it is a particular honor to return to Casablanca under these conditions. This is a very special day for me, for my crew and for our passengers.”

For their part, several Island Sky passengers expressed satisfaction with the quality of the welcome and the richness of their experience, praising the comfort and efficiency of the services offered at the new terminal.

“It is such a joy to be here on such a beautiful day. Morocco is a magnificent country and I hope to return often, especially after already having had the chance to discover Tangier,” said Robert, a British passenger.

“We had a wonderful time aboard the Island Sky, and the welcome in Casablanca was outstanding. Everything went smoothly in a very pleasant atmosphere,” noted a Scottish couple.

The new cruise terminal at the Port of Casablanca is an international-standard facility designed to strengthen the city’s tourism offering and boost cruise activity at the port.

Backed by an investment of around 720 million MAD, the project is part of the restructuring and development program for the Casablanca Port Complex, aimed at consolidating the city’s economic and tourism appeal.

With an annual capacity of 450,000 passengers, the terminal is equipped to host ships up to 350 meters long and 45 meters wide, with a depth of 9 meters.
