The Port and Harbors Department crew was at work on April 23, pulling the summer ramp and float out of storage and moving it into place at the City Dock. The first cruise ship of the year is scheduled to pull into Wrangell on May 8. The 530-passenger Roald Amundsen will open the tourism season, which will run until the last ship on Sept. 22, with a maximum count over the summer months of 42,000 passengers if all of the ships are full.
The 459-foot-long, 530-passenger Roald Amundsen is scheduled to start Wrangell's cruise ship season on May 8.
To discuss plans for the season and share information, the borough's Economic Development Department has called a tourism stakeholder meeting for 9 a.m. Thursday, May 1, at the Nolan Center.
"This meeting is intended for businesses that operate within or provide services to the tourism industry. This includes tribal partners, agency partners, tour operators, accommodation providers, restaurants and other related businesses and organizations," the borough announced.
