The schedule has 10 vessels in the port between May and late August, with the bulk of the visits after the Labour Day weekend.

In a statement released today, Port Saint John said there will be 10 days with two ships in port, and five days with three ships at the same time.

The port says that before the pandemic, cruise ships injected about $68 million a year into the New Brunswick economy.
