In recent Dominica news, the internationally famous MV Queen Mary II docked in Dominica on Wednesday, December 30, 2009. This port in the Caribbean is actually one of the few that can accommodate a boat of this size.
Captained by Mr. Bernard Warner, The MV Queen Mary II will only make this stop to Dominica during the 2009/2010 cruise ship season.
Cruise tourism is a major piece of Dominica’s growing tourism sector. Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit invites tourists and groups to enjoy the wealth of offerings in Dominica. Over 500,000 cruise passengers visited Dominica during the 2008/2009 cruise season. This year, following on the heels of the most recent win by Roosevelt Skerrit, 278 cruise ships are expected for the 2009/2010 ship season.
