We’ve worked with GPH for many years…and at many ports that we call on already in the Americas and in Europe.  By working with the leading cruise port operator in the world, it helps to create synergy between us the ports where we do business worldwide. Having a partner like GPH helps to strategically position us for growth as we plan our future deployment. We’re excited about supporting a company that has proven that they can get the job done time and time again.

Our vessels regularly call at ports around the world operated by GPH. We find GPH to be a reliable, professional partner that strives to provide an excellent experience to our vessels and our guests. We also note the commitment that GPH has exhibited to the local communities and their careful stewardship of the environment. We also note that their open port philosophy provides access to all cruise brands, maximizing the use of available berths. Having one entity with such a large network of destinations makes our deployment planning easier, knowing that we will experience consistent, high levels of customer service around the world. Virgin Voyages looks forward to experiencing the same, high-quality operation at The Port of Los Angeles.

GPH’s proven track record, innovative approach, commitment to sustainability, and strong community integration make them an ideal partner for any port authority. The Port Authority of Puerto Rico is proud of our successful partnership and looks forward to continuing this collaboration for many years to come.

We tasked GPH with transforming Nassau Cruise Port into a world-class facility—one that embodies the authenticity we want for downtown Nassau, drives economic growth for the country, delivers benefits to all stakeholders, and enhances the surrounding environment.  GPH has demonstrated the ability to navigate this challenge, blending innovation and creativity to achieve desired outcomes. Our guests consistently provide positive feedback, and the retail, restaurant, and vendor operators have expressed satisfaction with the environment GPH has created. Most importantly, the people of The Bahamas take great pride in the transformed Nassau Cruise Port.

We are extremely pleased with the growth of cruise tourism in The Bahamas. In 2023, the Nassau Cruise Port welcomed 4.3 million visitors, with steady growth expected in the years ahead. This success is not only due to the physical scale and presence of the new facilities but also the efficient management of traffic flows, cruise calls, retail, restaurants, and the overall visitor experience. GPH has successfully integrated all these elements to support the port’s ongoing growth and the country’s economic objectives.

The Ministry of Tourism continues to work closely with GPH management, and we are committed to maintaining and strengthening our productive, forward-thinking relationship with their team.
