Back-to-back cruise ship visits bring thousands to Nanaimo this weekend
NANAIMO — It might be another slow cruise season in the harbour city, but downtown Nanaimo will be hopping this weekend.
Two of the six ships set to visit this year are in town, starting with the Celebrity Infinity on Friday, May 26.
According to the Nanaimo Port Authority (NPA), the Infinity is no stranger to the city, making its fourth visit in the last three years. That included a pair of stops in 2016.
The Infinity is on a 12-day tour that will feature stops in cities like Seattle and San Francisco. There are 3,400 passengers and crew on board.
