Overview

  • Severe storms in the Rías Baixas have forced multiple cruise ships, including Aidabella and Silver Endeavour, to seek shelter at the Port of Vigo.
  • The Port Authority arranged emergency berths for the vessels, with Silver Endeavour arriving without passengers after completing its Antarctic season.
  • Aidabella and Silver Endeavour are expected to depart on Sunday, April 20, pending calmer seas, while AidaDiva is scheduled for an unscheduled stop the same day.
  • Over 4,000 passengers and 1,300 crew aboard Aidabella and AidaDiva are contributing to Vigo's local economy during these unplanned stays.
  • Four additional cruise ships, including Le Bellot and Britannia, are scheduled to call at Vigo in the coming week as weather conditions improve.
