    Cruise Marketing Director Patti Ricketts says the season will start June 4th and 24 ships are expected this summer and early fall.

    The Port of Corner Brook is also looking forward to a busy cruise ship season this year. Cruise Marketing Director Patti Ricketts says the season will start June 4th and 24 ships are expected this summer and early fall. Inaugural calls are first time visitors at the port and Ricketts says this is usually marked by a plaque exchange with each captain. Some say Corner Brook is becoming the cruise capital of the province. Ricketts says other destinations are also becoming a choice, like Woody Point. On Monday past , the French ship Le Commandant Charcot arrived in port for the day, marking the first ever cruise ship to visit Corner Brook during the winter.
