Uruguay expects a slowing down of cruise activity this
season, probably in the range of 10% less vessel calls, particularly in
Punta del Este, because of “logistics problems with the circuits”.
However this will be partly compensated by the two Costa Cruise company
vessels that will be operating from Montevideo as the starting point and
end of South Atlantic tours.
