Royal Caribbean International will base the
Liberty of the Seas in Barcelona in 2011. “In such a pessimistic economic environment, we are proud to continue our commitment to the Spanish market and to keep investing in it. As well as bringing in new ships, we have also significantly increased our staff in Spain -- in these particularly tough times -- so that we can achieve a growth of 60 percent, allowing us to offer almost 100,000 berths,” said Belén Wangüemert, managing director of Royal Caribbean Cruises Espana. “We believe that this is the moment to continue our investments in the Spanish market, and this commitment will not end in 2010, as the arrival of the Liberty of the Seas in 2011 will consolidate our position as one of the top brands in the market.”
The line said the cruise ship sector in Spain
continues to grow at an annual rate of between 8 and 10 percent, despite the
fall in tourism. Royal Caribbean predicts a 60 percent growth in guest volume in
2010, compared with a growth of 30 percent in 2009. |
