Six additional cruise ships due next year at the Port of Astoria include larger ships from Alaska heading for ports south. That according to cruise ship marketing representative Bruce Conner who says 15 ships are now booked here. “The economy has turned around for us in the cruise industry. Our cruise hosts have shown the cruise industry that this is a very important stop, a very rewarding stop. So, on your way to Alaska, you need to stop in Astoria.” The next cruise ship due here is on September 20th, with four ships this year to complete a total of thirteen.
