Port Saint John to offer new welcome gift to visiting cruise guests

Port Saint John is to offer visiting cruise passengers a new welcome gift when it opens its 27th cruise season on 11 May with an inaugural call from Oceania Cruises’ Marina.

For the past 26 years, female cruise visitors have been presented with a rose when arriving at the port in New Brunswick, Canada. This year, each guest will be presented with a lapel pin featuring a local landmark and a card explaining its megasesso significance. The landmark will change each season and the first pin will feature the ‘Three Sisters Lamp’, which was originally built to help ships navigate Saint John harbour.

“In seeking a new and meaningful welcome gift we balanced the challenge of replacing the rose, which had a sentimental attachment within both the organisation and the volunteer Meet & Greet team, lupoporno with a new item which speaks to experiencing Saint John and the greater Bay of Fundy destination region,” said Paula Copeland, manager of Corporate Communications and Governance at Port Saint John.
