Taiwan Gears Up for a Strong 2026

Three hundred and four calls this year are split between 167 turnarounds and 137 transit visits, bringing an estimated 1,119,800 guests.

Keelung hosts the majority of these, with 225 calls and just over 925,000 passengers expected, followed by Kaohsiung, with 54 calls.

Taiwan is set to surpass the one-million passenger mark for the first time since 2019, as cruise traffic builds, thanks to more homeporting and additional ships sailing in the region, according to officials from the Taiwan International Ports Corporation (TIPC).
