Calling it another step toward establishing Victoria as a home port for cruise ships, the head of the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority said a new long-term deal with Norwegian Cruise Lines is a sign the city has evolved into a key player in the industry.
It also opens the door a little wider to having conversations about Victoria becoming a home port for a cruise line, he said. Robertson said the hurdle they have yet to cross is establishing customs pre-clearance facilities at the port. Robertson said the deal with Norwegian is a marker for the habour authority, suggesting the port has established itself as a key player on the coast.
Robertson said the Norwegian deal was a year in the making and he would like to sign more long-term deals.
