Port Authority of Jamaica, PAJ, is already promoting Port Royal as a cruise port and has booked at least one vessel which will make its first call at the historic town almost a year from now.
The Discovery 2, operated by Marella Cruises, will visit on January 20, 2020.
To preserve the sunken city that is part of Port Royal’s 500 years of colourful and tragic history as a pirate haunt, the Port Authority will install a floating pier to facilitate cruise ship calls. The agency told the Financial Gleaner that the Seawalk pier to be supplied by Cruise Ventures is scheduled to arrive in Jamaica by February 28.
In the meantime, the Port Authority is promoting the port as a new cruise destination at trade shows and in cruise industry media. Marella has already added Port Royal to its listings.
