Long left on the margins of the major tourist routes of Central America, El Salvador<\/mark><\/a><\/strong> is now beginning to appear on Pacific cruise itineraries. The port of Acajutla <\/strong>now welcomes international ships that offer passengers a first introduction to the country through day excursions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This momentum comes amid strong tourism growth. According to official data, the country recorded a 92% increase in international arrivals compared with 2019 levels <\/strong>and surpassed 4.1 million visitors in 2025<\/strong>, one of the fastest growth rates in the sector worldwide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An expanding cruise season<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The 2025\u20132026<\/strong> cruise season, which runs from October until the middle of the following year, is expected to become the most significant in the country\u2019s history. According to industry estimates, between 14 and 18 international <\/strong>ships are expected to dock during the season, bringing more than 24,000 visitors<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the ships that have already called at the port of Acajutla<\/strong> are the Eurodam<\/strong>, the Viking Sky<\/strong>, the Amadea and the Zuiderdam<\/strong>, operating international itineraries that mainly carry passengers from Europe and the United States<\/strong>. At each stop, travelers can discover different regions of the country through excursions organized from the port toward the western and central parts of the territory, or through shorter tours along the coast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
