What is a sea port? Sea port is a maritime commercial facility which may comprise one or more wharves where ships may dock to load and discharge passengers and cargo. Although usually situated on a sea coast or on estuary of rivers. There are many kinds of ports. We will talk about cruise ports.

Cruise ports are special ports (facilities with infrastructure), which take mainly cruise liners and also transport-oriented ocean liners.

A cruise ship or cruise liner is a passenger ship used for pleasure voyages, where the voyage itself and the ship's amenities are a part of the experience, as well as the different destinations along the way, i.e., ports of call ( cruise ports). Transportation is not the only purpose of cruising, particularly on cruises that return passengers to their originating port (also known as a closed-loop cruise), with the ports of call usually in a specified region of a continent.
