On September 27 Emerald Princess sailed up the River Forth into South Queensferry marking the 100th cruise call for Capital Cruising (CC).
Rob Mason, head of cruise CC Scotland, says: “The cruise business is a major economic boost for Scotland and the local areas where the liners call, with many local businesses and attractions benefitting from the tourism spend.
“We have welcomed 25 inaugural visits from cruiseliners this year across our ports and anchorages in Scotland and, across our Group, we are expecting to welcome nearly 200 cruise vessels which is encouraging news as people return to cruise.”
Earlier this year CC hosted the Cruise Europe Conference with around 200 cruise executives from around the world attending the largest cruise event ever to be held in Edinburgh. Scotland is a major draw for the cruise market, Edinburgh in particular is a ‘must-see’.
