Season starts April 3 when Norwegian Bliss pulls in to Ogden Point to mark the first of 315 visits from ships mainly plying the popular Alaska route.
Despite fewer scheduled trips, Greater Victoria is anticipating another strong cruise ship season starting April 3 when Norwegian Bliss pulls into Ogden Point to mark the first of 315 visits from ships that mainly ply the popular Alaska route.
The final day of this year’s season is Oct. 27 when Norwegian Sun pulls in. By then, Lewis-Manning figures ships will have brought about 950,000 visitors into the capital region. “I think the difference from last year is that so many of the local businesses are really engaged in trying to find ways to make it work even with the later and shorter stays.” he said.
That sees them arriving in evenings for short stays. Ideally, the local business community would like ships to stay for a full day becuase that brings larger economic benefits. He anticipates that the number of families travelling will see this season’s ships sailing above capacity, similar to last year. Families stay in cabins with pull-out bunks.He has heard anecdotally through the cruise lines that passenger demographics are getting younger.
