Oceania Cruises’ Marina is to open the Port of Corner Brook’s cruise season for the third consecutive year.
Marina, which made her inaugural visit at the Canadian port on 3 June 2013 and called again on 30 May to start the 2014 season, will arrive at 8am on 23 May and spend a full day in the city.
The 1,250-passenger ship will call as part of her 16-day ‘River Routes & Channel Crossings’ itinerary, which departed Montreal in Canada on 18 May and conclude in London, England on 3 June. Guests will be able to visit a number of Canadian and Irish ports before arriving in England.
Corner Brook Port is scheduled to handle 11 cruise calls this season, an increase from nine vessels in 2014.
Fred. Olsen Cruise Line’s Black Watch will visit on 11 June, while Oceania Cruises Insignia will make her maiden call on 27 July and Holland America Line’s Veendam will visit on 28 July. Cruise & Maritime Voyages’ Marco Polo will overnight from 20-21 August and Black Watch will return on 23 August.
