New Baltimore Cruise Terminal

[kente]

I received this email about the new Baltimore Cruise Terminal.

 

Maryland's Port of Baltimore is very excited about the opening of our

new dedicated cruise terminal for the beginning of the 2006 season.

Plans have been moving forward and we should be breaking ground on the

new facility shortly. This new facility will have easy access to I-95

as well as marquee visibility for ships while in port. The design also

calls for the parking lot to be adjacent to the Passenger Building,

there fore there will not be any shuttle service needed for our

passengers.

 

At this time, Royal Caribbean has begun selling their 2006 schedule out

of Baltimore. They will be offering 9-night Caribbean Cruises and

5-night Bermuda Cruises from May through November 2006. We also expect

to have a few Celebrity Cruises onboard the Constellation for the fall

of 2006; however we do not have definitive dates at this time. Some of

the other cruise lines have shown interest in the new terminal, however

at this time we do not have any requests from any other lines. If you

are interested in these cruises please contact your travel agent or

Royal Caribbean for pricing information and availability, the Port of

Baltimore cannot book your cruise for you.

 

Again, thank you for your interest in Cruise Maryland at Baltimore. If

you need more information, please do not hesitate to call me,

410-385-4836.
