Global Ports Holding’s Post

CMPs Commercial Cruise Director Luis de Carvalho reflects in an article in CruiseInsight on how to invest correctly and with a long-term perspective in cruise tourism - as well as how to overcome a number of challenges that the industry is facing.

#Cruises are back in #Nouméa, as well as in Lifou! 🚢 Following a site visit to assess the situation and numerous constructive discussions with local authorities and industry stakeholders, the two main cruise lines serving the archipelago, Carnival Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines (RCCL), have confirmed the resumption of their stopover programs in #NewCaledonia. 🌏 This Sunday, November 10th, local authorities, tourism service providers, artisans, dancers, and more gathered to warmly welcome passengers of the majestic RCCL ship, Ovation Of The Seas, under a radiant sky. This first #stopover will soon be followed by Carnival's Westerdam, arriving in Lifou and Nouméa on the 13th and 14th of the month, and then Carnival Splendor in Nouméa on the 17th and 19th. The return of cruises is fantastic news for the many foreign #travellers eager to (re)discover our destination, as well as for all the local players who rely on this essential economic activity, which had been halted for nearly six months due to the events of May 13th. You can find numerous offers for cruise passengers in Nouméa (collated in partnership with the Syndicat des Commerçants de Nouvelle-Calédonie and the CCI Nouvelle-Calédonie) on our cruise web portal, clearly featured at the maritime station: https://lnkd.in/gEZ4fJN7 As a reminder, in 2023, recovering from the Covid crisis, New Caledonia was a popular destination for 343,703 passengers and 118 cruise ships in Nouméa and Lifou, reinforcing its spot among the TOP 5 major cruise ports in France.

It’s a key milestone in our overall strategy to reassure and boost tourism to our destination.” #NewCaledonia #Cruises #PacificVoyages #Top5FrenchPorts #EternalNewCal #CarnivalCruises #RoyalCaribbean #EconomicRecovery #TravelUpdate
