Grenada´s Cruise Industry Continues to Thrive

The Grenada Board of Tourism referred to Tuesday December 21 as the most productive day for Grenada’s cruise tourism industry, since the passage of Hurricane Ivan on September 7, 2004.

Five ships arrived in Grenada, with two, the Norwegian Spirit and Braemer, docking at the newly opened, $24 million cruise ship facility on Melville Street, St. George’s.

This will bring a total of approximately 12,000 cruise ship passengers to the Spice Isle this week, with eight ships in total scheduled to arrive, including the Sunbird, Constellation, Norwegian Spirit, Oceana, C Columbus, among others.

The Board estimates that the arrival of these ships during the week will mean the introduction of more than $187,000 into the Grenadian economy.
