Successful cruise season ahoy
ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL CRUISE
SEASON ON THE HORIZON!
Another busy cruise season for Belfast
is planned for 2010 with almost 40 cruise
ships due to call into the Port of Belfast over the next
year.
With the first ship due to dock in
April, Belfast is preparing to welcome ashore almost 55 000
passengers and crew. Visiting cruise lines include major
industry leaders such as P&O Cruises, Holland America and
Cunard and the impressive cruise ship "Crown Princess",
carrying 4400 passengers and crew is returning four times
throughout 2010.
This year also marks the eleventh year
since the first liner docked in the city in 1999 and is
testimony to the continuing efforts of the award-winning
Cruise Belfast initiative, a partnership between the Belfast
Visitor & Convention Bureau (BVCB) and the Port of Belfast and
supported by NITB.
