ThePassenger Port of St. Petersburg (Russian:Пассажирский порт Санкт-Петербург) is a passengerport inSaint Petersburg,Russia. It was completed on 27 May 2011 and was officially handed over to thecity government.[2] It is located on reclaimed alluvial territories of theMarine Facade of Vasilevsky island fronting theGulf of Finland on theBaltic Sea.
The necessity for new passenger terminal was caused by the inability of the existing Marine Terminal to allow cruise ships longer than 200 meters. As a consequence, large passenger ships arrived in the commercial port of St. Petersburg. In 2002, theSt. Petersburg administration proposed to build a modern complex for the reception of cruise ships.

By July 28, 2007, the educational sailing vessel namedYoung Baltiets was moored at berth number seven.[3]
In 2008, two moorings, building the cruise terminal and coastal constructions necessary for work, were constructed and transferred in the summer.[1]
On September 10, 2008 the port accepted the firstpassenger cruise liner, a 16-deck Italian vessel namedCosta Mediterranea.[1] In August 2009, ahydrofoil line toPeterhof and theWinter Palace was started.[4]
In 2011, work on the passenger port was completed and the newly completed Marine Facade sea passenger port was officially handed over to the city government.[5]
