Technical Information

Global Ports Holding (GPH), through a dynamic public-private partnership with the Puerto Rico Ports Authority (PRPA), is elevating the iconic San Juan Cruise Port to world-class standards through an extensive $425 million redevelopment project. In the long-term, we envision the development of two distinct cruise port areas: the Old San Juan District including piers 1, 3 and 4 (mainly dedicated to transit calls and luxury ships), and the Homeport District including the Pan American piers and Piers 11-13.
