Recent studies by the Balearic Islands Port Authority have revealed that cruise tourism generated annually in Balears estimated revenues of 289.66 million euros, a figure that highlights the significant contribution of the ports in the development of the island and in creating economic activity and employment.

In Mallorca the average expenditure is higher than in the rest of the islands as a third of the cruises have departure and arrival on the largest island. We must not lose sight of the fact that only in October have made stops in Palma over 90 cruises with 240,000 passengers and for the next off-season between November and March, a similar figure is expected. Cruise tourism is the biggest international tourist product that has experienced growth in recent years.

The Balearic Islands received last year more than 13,500,000 tourists of which approximately 1,500,000 were cruise passengers, which makes it the Spanish autonomous community where cruise ships have a greater intensity. The Port of Palma, head of the Balearic ports, has always been placed among the top 10 cruise ports in the Mediterranean. It shows the relevance of Mallorca as the main destinations of cruise tourism is the fact that the cruise ship Allure of the Seas  is performing a full season in the Mediterranean making weekly stopovers at the Port Palma.
