T&T will welcome 16 ships and more than 30,000 cruise visitors during the 2015/2016 cruise ship season which kicks off in November.
As the country continues to aggressively pursue the cruise market, the upcoming season, which ends in May 2016, represents a 56 per cent increase in cruise passenger arrivals, when compared to the same period last year.
Some of the world’s most luxurious cruise ships have added T&T to their itineraries for the upcoming season including the MSC Orchestra, with a capacity of more than 2,000 passengers and the intimate yet sumptuous World Odyssey and Voyager ships. Also making a return to T&T’s waters are the Saga Sapphire and Seven Ocean Princess.
The increasing popularity of T&T as a port-of-call comes as the Caribbean Tourism Organisation reported 104 per cent growth in cruise tourism arrivals for the twin island nation between 2014 and 2015, the largest rate of growth reported for any destination.
The Tourism Development Company (TDC) will be deploying visitor guides in and around the Port of Port-of-Spain to assist passengers.
Local tourism ambassadors, visitor guides are strategically positioned at the cruise ship terminal and in the streets of the capital city to assist passengers with maps and information on local points of interest.
