Port Saint John in New Brunswick, Canada, has revealed that its 2022 cruise schedule will begin on 4 May and end in November.
The schedule includes calls from 69 cruise ships owned by 13 operators including Royal Caribbean International, Princess Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line and P&O Cruises. In total, 85 per cent of the calls will take place between September and October.
“As we emerge from the pandemic, we are seeing the careful and steady resumption of global travel and tourism, including cruise tourism,” said Craig Bell Estabrooks, CEO at Port Saint John. “The cruise industry has developed some of the most stringent safety and operational protocols, which have been successfully demonstrated since global cruise resumption began in July 2020. For these reasons, we are encouraged and pleased to share with our community that our cruise sector is scheduled to return in 2022.“
Port Saint John has worked alongside federal and provincial authorities to develop a strategy to safely resume cruising in Canadian port cities.
“After two years without cruise, we’re looking forward to safely welcoming visitors back to Saint John and the Bay of Fundy region,” said Natalie Allaby, cruise development manager at Port Saint John. “We have appealing local and regional attractions including two new waterfront additions in 2022: Place Fort LaTour and the AREA506 Container Village. These will be great enhancements to our overall visitor experience.”
