First major cruise after Hurricane Maria welcomed by Dominica

Saturday, February 3, 2018

After the island was hit by Hurricane Maria, Dominica is all set to welcome its first major cruise ship.

On January 28, Tui Cruises’ MV Mein Schiff 3 arrived  bringing more than 2,000 passengers.

The Roseau cruise ship berth came first to the island post Hurricane Maria.

An investment of  more than $3 million was made by the Dominica’s government through its ministry of tourism  and urban renewal for restoration of access, rehabilitation, upgrading of sites and clean-up of debris since Hurricane Maria.

Visitors are now welcomed across the island’s natural sites.

Mein Schiff 3 passengers  took shore excursions and  tours to the Emerald Pool, Trafalgar Twin Falls, Bois Cotlette Estate, Titou Gorge, whale watching tours and the island’s black sand Mero Beach.

During the 2017/2018 cruise season MV Mein Schiff 3 is expected to make five more calls to the island
