Cruise 2020 - Halifax puts a good face on it

Cruise Halifax has published its 2020 schedule. Starting April 11 with Norwegian Star, the prediction is for 203 ship visits (including eleven inaugural calls) and 350,000 passengers.

Norwegian Dawn last season.

With the cruise industry in chaos over the new COVID-9 coronavirus, it is anybody's guess how the season will turn out and what will happen if a ship arrives with infected passengers.

What seems certain is that there will be massive displacements as ships are reassigned to other parts of the world. If the east coast of North American somehow magically escapes the spread of the virus, there may be even more ships coming.
