Bodrum Cruise Port, operated by Global Ports Holding, the world’s largest cruise port operator, has been shortlisted for the prestigious “Sustainability Initiative of the Year” at the Seatrade Cruise Awards 2025. The One Day. One Ship. One Future social responsibility project, launched in collaboration with cruise lines such as Marella Cruises, aims to inspire future generations by igniting their maritime dreams.

Launched at the start of the 2025 cruise season, One Day. One Ship. One Future has become a benchmark for social responsibility projects for ports around the world. The project connects young people with the maritime and cruise industries while promoting environmental awareness.

This recognition, which is supported by the cruise industry, reflects Bodrum Cruise Port’s ongoing commitment to sustainability.

The international recognition of our One Day. One Ship. One Future project demonstrates that our sustainability efforts are moving in the right direction. This success is not just Bodrum Cruise Port's, but also a reflection of the value our region places on cruise tourism and the future of younger generations.”

He continued: "We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Marella Cruises, especially the Marella Discovery 2, for their invaluable support. Their collaboration has been vital in bringing this meaningful project to life, and we are truly grateful for their commitment to sustainability and youth engagement."
