Cartagena Guide: Cartagena expects 300.000 cruiseship passengers during upcoming season

This week cruiseship season started with the arrival of Coral Princess, bringing exactly 2.874 visitors to Cartagena. Next ship to arrive will be Norwegian Pearl with 2500 passengers and more than 1000 crew members on 4th of October. During the season of 2008-2009 Cartagena expects 150 cruiseships with an overall of more than 300.000 visitors. The city of Cartagena welcomes the cruiseship tourism with very special attention: The recently founded "Comité de Cruceros del Distrito" (Cruiseship Board of the District) is directed by the mayor itself. The corporation takes care of the special needs of visitors arriving by cruiseships: Additional street cleaning, the banning of cars from Cartagenas Old Town as well as a bi-lingual tourism police should help Cartagena to present itself as the top cruise destination in the Caribbean.
