Port CEO Says SJ Could Be A Great Home Port For Cruises

We see a lot of cruise ships in Saint John...but what if we were their home port instead of a pit stop on the way? Could mean increased tourism and hotel revenue for the uptown down the road.

Port CEO Jim Quinn tells CHSJ News there's a lot to consider--but depending on what the research says, it could be workable. He says it would largely depend on what kind of interest there is from the cruise industry.

Quinn says our deep port means we can handle a lot of the biggest ships out there, which is a definite bonus.
