Martinique continues to gain in
popularity as a prime Caribbean cruise destination as evidenced by the 20%
increase in cruise passenger arrivals projected by the Martinique Promotion
Bureau/CMT USA for the upcoming 2009-2010 peak winter season.
Muriel Wiltord, director Americas for the Martinique Promotion Bureau /CMT USA,
commented on the projected increase, stating: “Even in these challenging
economic times, cruising remains a great value, and with cruise travelers
continually seeking new and more exotic ports of call, Martinique is in a strong
position to see added growth in the years to come.”
Cruise ships call on Martinique in the heart of downtown Fort-de-France, the
island’s capital city and the capital of the Caribbean when it comes to
shopping. The best of Parisian fashion, jewelry, porcelain, perfumes and other
fine goods are here, and for U.S. travelers most of it is available at a 20%
discount. Select stores offer the discount to visitors who make purchases using
major U.S. credit cards or travelers checks. Excursions highlighting the
island’s ecotourism wonders, rich cultural history, snorkeling, golf,
award-winning rum distilleries, and more are also available.
Cruise lines featuring Martinique in 2009-2010 itineraries include Azamara
Cruises, Holland America Line, MSC Italian Cruises, and Silversea Cruises. |
