What the Future May Look Like..
Cruise Ships have steadily increased in length over the
past 20 years…
and the trend continues.
Opportunity…. But with a challenge.

What the Future May Look Like..
With our present cruise berth capacity, on any given day:
Due to ever increasing vessel sizes, we are rapidly becoming a “two-ship cruise port”.
We can only accommodate one vessel in excess of 300m overall length.

The Early 90’s
Vessels were often docked at cargo facilities.

Don’t want a comment like this:
“We did a shore excursion and walked around Saint John - all very pleasant but
unfortunately we docked at a cargo facility and were quite far from the city
center. This wasn’t particularly inviting or convenient compared to the other ships that were at modern cruise piers. Not
sure why we weren’t.”
