Victoria’s Ogden Point is about to see another busy week as 14 cruise ships arrive between Monday, September 15th, and Sunday, September 21st.
Together, these ships will bring more about 47,227 passengers to the capital city.
This is one fewer ship than last week, when 15 vessels docked in Victoria, but it’s still a solid turnout as we move past the middle of September and approach fall.
One of the highlights is the Anthem of the Seas, which returns on Thursday with nearly 5,000 passengers on board. This makes it the largest ship visiting Victoria this week.
Norwegian Cruise Line will also be active, with four ships scheduled: Norwegian Joy, Norwegian Bliss, Norwegian Jade, and Norwegian Encore.
The busiest days will be Friday and Saturday, with three ships arriving each day.
