There will be three cruise ships making a port-of-call in Nanaimo this season.
The first arrives April 9th.
Passengers from those ships benefit the entire region as they fan out for excursions into the Cowichan Valley, Port Alberni and Parksville Qualicum.
David Mailloux, speaking for the Nanaimo Port Authority says the Port is aiming to attract some of the smaller cruise ships rather than being dependent on the big ones……
This season, the Explorer of the Seas, with 3500 passengers will stop in the Harbour City twice and the Star Princess, with 2500 passengers will make one stop.
