This summer some cruise ships like the Wind Star or Silver Wind will visit again Ibiza and Formentera, but like every year the ` stars of the show´ will be the ships of greater size and luxury.

The biggest one anticipated is the MSC Symphony, of 251 meters of length, that will visit the island the 9 of June. A five star ship, that can lodge up to 1,566 passengers and 711 crew.

Another ship with 248 meters of length ship also with a five stars category and capacity of 1,750 people, plus a crew of 909. Although these two examples are high level boats, every day there are more cruises of average category that have a reasonable price for a great public, Until recently it was considered a luxury product. In spite of the popularity of this form of vacation, a recent report of the Govern and employer's association CAEB showed that this tourist sector continues being one of bigger money spenders per day of stay on the islands, with 79 million euros during the year 2005. Each tourist spends an average of 57 euros a day, an appreciable amount. In the report of the CAEB he emphasizes that the tourism of cruise ships "is not an ephemeral fashion but that has become a clear alternative in high season".
