Pearl Sea Cruises' Pearl Mist is to open the 2016 cruise season in Baie-Comeau, Canada on 25 May.
Marking the first time Baie-Comeau's season has started in May, Pearl Mist's call will enable guests to visit attractions such as Franquelin Lumberjack Village, the Church of St Amelia and the Manor of Baie-Comeau. The ship, which last visited on 1 June 2015, will then return to the port a further three times this year.
Baie-Comeau also expects to host an additional seven cruise calls and a total of 8,800 passengers and crew members this year, a 13% increase from 2015. Most of these visits will take place in autumn.
Also for the first time in its history, the Canadian port will host two ships in one day - Pearl Mist and Seabourn Cruise Line's Seabourn Quest on 15 September. A total of 1,046 passengers and crew are expected to arrive on the vessels.
