STATEMENT ON THE INTENDED WITHDRAWAL OF CARNIVAL CRUISE LINE FROM GRENADA AS A PORT OF CALL

The Caribbean Community is deeply disturbed to learn of a decision by Carnival Cruise Line to cease calling at Port St. George's, Grenada with virtually immediate effect.

Carnival is the largest cruise line calling at Grenadian ports, and accounts for approximately half of the cruise passengers to the country.

Such a cessation of its cruise activity will therefore create a most unwelcome situation for the government and people of Grenada, particularly those involved in the Tourist industry, including the small artisans and traders who depend heavily on cruise tourism.
