THE DAILY HERALD: PORT WELCOMES FIRST INAUGURAL CRUISE CALL FOR 2022-23 SEASON
Celebrity Beyond, a cruise ship owned by Celebrity Cruises, made its inaugural call to Port St. Maarten on Thursday. It is the first new cruise ship to visit the destination for the 2022-2023 cruise season and was in port with 2,778 guests and 1,376 crew.
Captain Dimitrios Kafetsiz was welcomed by Port St. Maarten Group (PSG) management, where the traditional plaques were exchanged along with the welcome greeting to the guests and crew to “The Friendly Island”.
A tour around the ship with stakeholders was not possible due to scheduling issues and will be arranged during a subsequent port call.
