A record in Saint-Malo! 53 cruise ship calls are scheduled between April and October 2022 in the corsair city, 7 double calls and 9 inaugural calls are also planned. 56,000 passengers are expected. For two years, in 2020 and 2021, stopovers had been canceled due to the health crisis. Edeis, the manager of the ports of Saint-Malo and Cancale, recalls that 43 stopovers had taken place in 2019 before the Covid-19 pandemic. “Cruise passengers are primarily American (about 55%), German (about 30%) and English (about 10%). This international clientele generally has a high budget“says Edeis in a press release.
For the start of the season, two liners are expected on Wednesday April 20 : the Champlain of the “Ponant” company on trunk between Saint-Malo and Dinard with about 90 passengers and the Ocean Nova of the “Antartica 21 Air-Cruises” company which will dock on the Vauban quay with 40 passengers
