The Port of Corner Brook is excited to share its updated information package, Key Insights for Businesses Targeting the Cruise Industry in Corner Brook, Newfoundland. Drawing on years of hands-on industry expertise, this package is designed to educate and inspire businesses to join our broader cruise community.

It includes essential information, like the 2025 cruise ship schedule and itineraries, and goes further by offering valuable tips and insights, such as effective ways to provide directions, tailor your products for cruise guests, and explore potential areas for collaboration. Courses offered by Hospitality Newfoundland and Labrador, focused on elevating guest experiences, are also highlighted to help ensure your staff are well-prepared for the busy tourism season ahead.

In an ever-evolving and growing industry, staying up-to-date is crucial. That’s why you’ll find links to our Cruise Network Committee Partners and regional Associations. Together, we share the responsibility of marketing our picturesque ports and destinations.

Next, we take a local perspective on the cruise industry and explore how individuals, businesses, and organizations can get involved. The impact of cruising is far-reaching, extending from port operations to essential services, food and beverage, retail, transportation, and much more. Here, we highlight opportunities for local vendors, musicians, and transportation providers to get directly involved with the Port of Corner Brook and the City of Corner Brook’s comprehensive welcome programs. For local innovative operators and aspiring entrepreneurs, there is a section dedicated to shore excursions.

Finally, we encourage you to stay informed and never miss an update by subscribing to our newsletter. It’s your go-to resource for last-minute changes and the latest news on the cruise industry within our community. We are truly thankful for your ongoing support and look forward to all the exciting opportunities ahead.
