TIRANA, April 23 – The Port of Durrës received two cruise ships carrying foreign tourists as Albania continued to attract growing interest in Mediterranean cruise tourism. Around 150 passengers arrived aboard the vessels “Monet” and “La Belle de l’Adriatique”.

Prime Minister Edi Rama shared images of the arrivals, describing the port as an important entry point for international visitors. He said the development reflects rising visibility for Albania on the Mediterranean tourism map.
