The new cruise season is set to be the busiest since 2010, according to the Port of San Diego. The first ship is slated to arrive in San Diego on Monday.
The Port says this cruising season will be its busiest season since 2010 with 140 cruise calls and 460,000 passengers. This also means big money coming into local economy.
“Over 500,000 people are going to be coming here for those cruises. They’re going to see our awesome, wonderful city. And it also means big bucks for San Diego. Each home ported cruise ship in brings in $2 million per ship,” said Dan Malcolm, chairman of the Port of San Diego. “Let me put it this way: This cruise season will generate about $300 million [in] economic generation for San Diego.
As big as this cruising season is for San Diego, the Port feels this is a big bright spot for an industry hit hard by the pandemic.
