The Port of Corner Brook has welcomed 17 of the 25 scheduled cruise ship visits this season and three more are set to arrive this month. The “Insignia:” is due in port on September 29th, the “Crystal Serenity” will be here on the 23rd and the “Insignia” circles back on the 30th. Cruise Marketing Coordinator Patti Ricketts says August was the busiest month with two extra calls to port due to weather. She says summer business has been picking up over the last few years and vessels are larger; instead of getting an average of 800 passengers they’re seeing vessels with 1500 or more. Ricketts says so far, over 23,000 passengers have visited the city. The biggest cruise ship to visit this season will be the Queen Mary 2 carrying upwards of 4,000 passengers and crew, due to spend the day here on October 13th.
