The cruise ship season ended in October, and this year the
Riga port received 62 cruise ships with a total of 70,000 passengers, up 3.4%
from last year.
In 2015, the Riga port served nearly 1.858 million
passengers or 7.3% less than in 2014.
Riga port only has regular passenger ferry traffic with the
Swedish capital Stockholm. Estonian ferry operator Tallink Grupp has confirmed that it would put a second ferry on the
Riga-Stockholm route in December this year so that ferries would be running
daily on the route instead of every other day as currently.
Riga is the largest Latvian port by the turnover of both
cargo and passengers.
