English term or phrase: marquis ports
"Our well-planned Mediterranean cruise itineraries balance the marquis ports with smaller bays and harbours where big ships cannot go".

porti principali / più rinomati
Explanation:
Secondo me si tratta di un errore per "marquee" (vista la somiglianza).

"Since cruises are touristic operations, the attractiveness of a destination plays an important role. A marquee port is a "must see" venue that plays a key role in attracting customers for a cruise. A "discovery port" is a location that is less renowned but offer amenities that will be of appeal to cruisers." - http://bit.ly/VJ10KN

Un paio di altri rif.

"Royal Caribbean's Asia program calls at the Orient's marquee ports" - http://bit.ly/1pTEZoC

"So while cruise traffic from the biggest ships gets concentrated in the marquee ports, a counter-trend has emerged: private docking facilities." - http://bit.ly/VM874R

"When planning itineraries, ports of call are placed into two categories, "Marquee" ports and "Collector" ports. Marquee ports are those destinations that can sell a cruise just by being included, these tend to be capital cities and world renowed tourist attractions. [...]" - http://bit.ly/1l3I7hw

"This is a distinct possibility due to congestion problems at certain marquee ports across Europe. Barcelona was one congested port cited and it is another reason why cruise lines are looking to create new itineraries to uncrowded ports." - http://bit.ly/1q7qNXK

  -> Grazie. Esatto, quella è la definizione di "marquee" su cui ho basato la mia risposta, e incidentalmente l'origine di "marquee" è "late 17th century: from marquise, taken as plural and assimilated to -ee" - http://bit.ly/1p36nBt

marquis [marquee] ports
porti in voga


Explanation:
sono d'accordo con Mirko, la parola esatta è 'marquee' anche perché ho trovato altro contesto simile, esplicativo

http://cruise-international.com/seatrade-news-longer-cruises...

"Fancy leaving for your cruise on a weekday rather than a weekend? This is a distinct possibility due to congestion problems at certain **marquee ports** across Europe. Barcelona was one congested port cited and it is another reason why cruise lines are looking to create new itineraries to uncrowded ports"


see webster 'marquee 2' = most popular, well known
