The Vigo Maritime Station is the city's main cruise terminal and the most recognisable port landmark. Originally built in 1951 by the engineer Manuel Espárrago Fernández to handle transatlantic traffic, it boasts regionalist architecture with classical elements, as well as an interior featuring a skylight and a compass rose.

It belongs to the Port Authority of Vigo and serves as the arrival terminal for large international cruise ships, while housing official institutions such as the Harbour Master's Office and the Foreign Health Office. Occasionally, this site also hosts exhibition events and acts as a multipurpose space for trade fairs, exhibitions, concerts and galas.
