Tarragona Cruise Port, operated by Global Ports Holding (GPH), has opened a new Flemingo Duty Free store, marking a milestone in the development of the terminal’s retail offering and enhancing the passenger experience.

The store has been launched through JVFA Spain Travel Retail, a joint venture between Flemingo Duty Free and Altimex S.L. established to develop and manage retail spaces at cruise terminals across Spain.

P.K. Thimmayya, CEO MEA and Europe, said: “The opening of our first store at Tarragona Cruise Port marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Flemingo and our partnership with Global Ports Holding.”

“Tarragona is the ideal starting point for this venture, bringing together a world-class port, a rapidly growing cruise market and a shared commitment to delivering exceptional retail experiences. As we expand across the Global Ports Holding network, we look forward to creating destination-inspired stores that combine global brands, local character, and exceptional customer service,” added Thimmayya.

Alba Colet, general manager of Tarragona Cruise Port, said: “We are delighted to welcome this new retail concept to Tarragona Cruise Port and to see the result of the strong collaboration between Global Ports Holding, Flemingo Duty Free and all the teams involved in bringing this project to life.”

“It is a great example of how collaboration within the GPH network can bring new opportunities to our terminals and contribute to the continued development of Tarragona as an international cruise destination,” added Colet.

Located within the terminal, the new 130 sqm store combines internationally recognized brands with a selection of locally inspired products.

The store offers a wide range of international Travel Retail categories, including spirits, wines, tobacco, fragrances, cosmetics, confectionery, fashion accessories and souvenirs.

Passengers will also find a selection of local and regional specialties, including:

• Olive oils
• Vermouths
• Wines
• Nougat, and
• Other delicacies produced by local suppliers.

The port said in a press release that the opening of the store is part of a wider partnership between Global Ports Holding and Flemingo Duty Free to develop and operate retail spaces across selected cruise terminals within the GPH network.

Tarragona Cruise Port is the first location in Spain to welcome this new retail concept, with the partnership set to continue through the opening of additional stores at the cruise terminals of Alicante, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.

Each location will feature a retail offer tailored to the characteristics and identity of its destination.
