EUROMAR joins River Cruise Europe

EUROMAR has officially become a regular member of River Cruise Europe, a platform that connects stakeholders from across the inland cruising sector, including cruise lines, ports, destinations, and service providers – EUROMAR acting as a reliable partner for ships registering in Madeira.

 

This step reflects Portugal's ongoing commitment to the inland waterways and river cruise segment, where several vessels on the Rhine, Danube, and Douro already operate under the home port Madeira and with the Portuguese flag. By joining River Cruise Europe, we aim to strengthen our network, participate in key industry events, and to further expand our presence in this growing market.

 

The membership also gives EUROMAR access to joint activities and trade fairs, offering new ways to connect with operators and promote the benefits of the Portuguese registry. EUROMAR can contribute with its expertise and knowledge about the Madeira registry and the Portuguese flag.

 

The Madeira International Business Centre (IBC) and the Madeira registry offered a solid platform, combining safety, compliance, and efficiency. Notably, with strong local support, SunStone successfully transferred ten vessels to the Portuguese flag and established growing operations on the island.

 

SunStone is a prime example of the benefits available to shipowners who choose Madeira. Under the Portuguese flag and supported by Madeira’s maritime investment conditions, plans are in place to further enhance the framework to support international shipowners seeking stability, flexibility, and long-term growth.
