112,000 cruise passengers and crew members
In 2019, 112,000 cruise passengers and crew members passed through the Port of Montreal facilities during a season that included 76 calls from 17 different cruise lines.
The season was marked by several new additions to the offer serving the city, including four cruise ships that called Montreal for the first time: the Zaandam, the Riviera, the Viking Sun and the Ocean Dream.
The newcomers joined long-time regulars. On August 8, Holland America, a Port of Montreal partner for 23 years, celebrated the arrival of its 500,000th passenger in Montreal. The event attested to the continuity and consistent quality of Montreal’s welcome and tourism offering in the cruise industry.
