Ferry calls are common in the Latvian city of Ventspils, and cruise ship visits include two Phoenix Reisen calls this summer. Three calls are booked for 2020, according to a spokesperson for the port.

“We provide the perfect infrastructure, suitable for vessel and passengers,” the spokesperson said. “We have flexible tariffs and many new shore excursions. The city itself is a ‘country in a country.’”

Cruise vessels can expect a new modern passenger terminal, and a modern and clean berth, according to the port.
