There wont be a table left in a restaurant lol. Its there from 14:00 to 23:30 and has nearly 3000 passengers. I think we will avoid the port when a carnival Freedom is in. Transportation Minister Rob Fleming said in a statement. We are in Aruba in July and I forgot to check which days the ships were in. “Our government is excited to welcome the first cruise ship back in Canadian waters in two years to the Victoria Cruise Terminal, Canada’s busiest port of call and a strategic stop on the popular Alaskan cruise itinerary,” B.C. Work on sustainability initiatives, such as funding for shore power, has continued during the two years that cruise ships have been absent from Victoria.Ī recent survey conducted by Insights West on behalf of the harbour authority and Cruise Lines International Association showed that 79 per cent of respondents view the impact of the industry in Victoria as positive, equal to that in 2018, and 57 per cent of residents surveyed describe the economic benefit of the industry as significant, up from 51 per cent in 2018. Cruise-ship arrivals abruptly ended with COVID travel bans two years ago, scuttling a $2.7 billion industry in B.C> and further crippling the tourism sector. The harbour authority said its top priority is the long-term viability of cruise ships in Greater Victoria. Majestic Princess will be the first vessel to utilize the Pier B mooring dolphin extension that was completed in early 2020. The first ship arriving at Ogden Point will be the Caribbean Princess, at 9 a.m. In 2022, the Norwegian Encore, Majestic Princess, and Royal Caribbean’s Quantum of the Seas will make their inaugural calls to Victoria. “I look forward to being on the pier when that first ship arrives, and the first cruise passengers in two years disembark the ship to explore our beautiful city.” “We’ve worked hard and collaborated with government and industry to ensure that when ships return to Canada, and to Victoria, we will be ready to safely welcome passengers and crew,” Ian Robertson, chief executive of the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority, said in a statement. The harbour authority said it has been working with partners to ensure the safe movement of passengers upon arrival on the terminal site and in the community, to meet federal and provincial health requirements.
