Global Ports Holding Showcases Major Investments at San Juan Cruise Port

More than $200 million in infrastructure improvements, plans for a new cruise terminal, and continued government collaboration underscore long-term commitment to Puerto Rico's cruise industry.

Global Ports Holding (GPH), the world’s largest cruise port operator, highlighted significant progress in the modernization of San Juan Cruise Port and outlined its vision for the next phase of development during a special presentation and facilities tour held in conjunction with the Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association (FCCA) Annual Conference & Trade Show in Puerto Rico.

The gathering brought together cruise line executives, industry leaders, government representatives, and regional GPH executives to showcase the transformation underway at one of the Caribbean's most important cruise destinations and homeports.

Since assuming operations of San Juan Cruise Port in February 2024 under a 30-year Public-Private Partnership (P3) Agreement with the Government of Puerto Rico and the Puerto Rico Ports Authority, GPH has worked alongside its government partners to advance a comprehensive infrastructure modernization program. The initial program, expected to exceed US$200 million, includes structural rehabilitation, berthing infrastructure improvements, terminal upgrades, and operational enhancements across the port's facilities, with anticipated completion in the fourth quarter of 2026.
