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).

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.

Keelung in the north serves as a gateway for cruises to Japan and South Korea, while Kaohsiung in the south provides a base for itineraries to Hong Kong, the Philippines and Vietnam.

Additional ports in the country include Hualien, Suao, Taichung, Anping and Peng
