One example is our vibrant welcome programme, which puts the focus on local products. Guests can have a ‘taste’ of what Prince Edward Island offers, from bite-size lobster roll to decadent oysters and more. Bringing local producers and businesses into our port activities not only enriches the visitor experience but also positively impacts our community by fostering economic growth and promoting cultural exchange. With over 100 calls expected from April to October 2025, this collaboration has been instrumental in ensuring our local flavours and culture are front and centre for all guests.” Port Charlottetown is excited to showcase these partnerships and attractions when the Cruise Canada New England Symposium takes place in Halifax, Nova Scotia in June 2025. “In collaboration with our partners from Atlantic Canada Cruise, we will host pre-familiarisation trips in the region, providing attendees with an immersive experience of the region’s offerings,” says Murphy. “Participants can expect guided tours of our stunning coastline, firsthand visits at our ports, and insights into emerging new initiatives happening in cruise in Atlantic Canada.” “ Its unique blend of urban and natural attractions makes PEI a hidden gem on any cruise itinerary” East Point Lighthouse, located on the most eastern point of PEI, is known as Canada’s Confederation Lighthouse
