Its vision is to create economic value by connecting Western Newfoundland globally through tourism and trade. The Corporation achieves this through its three lines of business: industrial port operations, real estate, and cruise tourism.
The Port of Corner Brook provides a complimentary shuttle service for cruise passengers and crew from the port to downtown Corner Brook and back. The number of buses booked for each cruise ship depends on the total number of passengers onboard based on ship capacity as outlined in Appendix A (attached).

The Corner Brook Port Corporation (CBPC) invites proposals from qualified transportation companies to provide a shuttle bus service for the 2024 cruise season. Proposals must be submitted by email, fax or in-person.
Following the tremendous achievements of the 2023 cruise season, the Port of Corner Brook is well-positioned for further growth and anticipates achieving significant milestones again this year. The Carnival Pride, making its maiden call on June 5th, will officially launch the 2024 season.
The Port of Corner Brook has thirty-eight scheduled cruise ship calls, with a capacity of 57,000 passengers and 24,000 crew. Aligning with Atlantic Canada’s highly sought-after fall foliage, the peak season will occur in September and October.

The Port of Corner Brook expects eleven inaugural visits and three double-ship days throughout the season with remarkable numbers expected for early fall.
“As the Port’s Cruise Marketing Coordinator, I am thrilled to announce that the Sky Princess and the Norwegian Jade are expected on September 21st, with a combined capacity of more than 6,000 passengers. With the energy and excitement these ships bring, we anticipate surpassing the Port’s single-day passenger record of 4,240 set by the MSC Meraviglia in 2019. Strategically aligning with the City’s Colours of Corner Brook Festival, this day promises to be a momentous occasion for the Port and downtown core, showcasing our ability to accommodate and delight cruise guests. We’re ready to welcome them with open arms and ensure an unforgettable experience.” Patti Ricketts, Cruise Marketing Coordinator
Spanning 316 metres, the Mein Schiff I will be the longest vessel and the Sky Princess, weighing 141,000 metric tonnes, will be the heaviest. The departure of the Insignia on November 1st will signify the end of the 2024 cruise season.
