JAMAICA gets Disney boost

OCHO RIOS, St Ann — Jamaica’s tourism industry is set to receive a big boost on October 13 when one of Disney Cruise Line’s top modern vessels, Disney Destiny, makes its inaugural call at Falmouth’s historic cruise port bringing just under 2,800 passengers to the island.

The announcement was made by Jamaica Tourist Board (JTB) Deputy Director of Tourism for the Americas Philip Rose during Monday’s opening of the Jamaica Product Exchange (JAPEX) at Moon Palace Jamaica in Ocho Rios.

The arrival of Disney Destiny adds to the growing roster of Disney Cruise Line vessels calling on Jamaica, alongside ships operated by Norwegian Cruise Line, MSC Cruises, Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Princess Cruises, and Virgin Voyages.
