On 26 and 27 November, the Sète Cruise Club hosted the second edition of Sète Cruise Dating at the cruise terminal—an event that has become a key platform for showcasing our destination to the international cruise industry.
This year's edition brought together more than a dozen cruise lines and tour operators, who met with around forty local tourism providers from across our region during a day of professional speed-networking sessions.
👉 An efficient, friendly, and authentic format, true to the spirit of our destination and unanimously praised by participants. Each local provider had the opportunity to present their expertise, engage directly with tour operators and cruise lines, and highlight the richness and diversity of Sète's tourism offering and the wider Occitanie region.
🎯 The mission of the Sète Cruise Club is to coordinate all local stakeholders in order to better promote our destination and deliver an ever-higher-quality experience for cruise lines and their passengers.
📍 At every port call, around 50% of cruise passengers take excursions within a 90-minute radius of the port, making Sète the main gateway for maritime tourism in Occitanie.
🚢 2026 will mark another milestone, with more than 60,000 cruise passengers expected and nearly 80 scheduled port calls. We are committed to building on this positive momentum by further expanding our excursion offering and strengthening the appeal of our destination to cruise lines and tour operators.
A heartfelt thank you to all our partners, local providers, institutional stakeholders, and cruise companies for their trust, commitment, and enthusiasm.
Sète continues to chart its course with a responsible, authentic, low-carbon approach, firmly focused on the future. ⚓️💙
