Indonesia’s Cruise Tourism Soars as Bali Breaks Records & Expands Ports for 2025
Indonesia’s cruise tourism soars as Bali welcomes record visitors, expands ports, and prepares for a bigger 2025 with more ships and enhanced infrastructure.
Bali continues to be a magnet for international travelers, drawing an impressive 6.3 million visitors in the past year—an increase of 20.10% from 2023.
Cruising remains a dominant force in the global tourism sector, enticing millions of vacationers each year. Industry experts report that 37.5 million travelers opted for cruise vacations last year alone.
With demand surging, cruise lines have already placed orders for 56 new vessels, scheduled for delivery by 2028. While several European destinations are implementing measures to curb cruise traffic due to overtourism concerns, other regions are actively expanding their cruise tourism sector. One such location eager to capture a greater share of this market is Bali, Indonesia.
