Saguenay Celebrates 20 Years of International Cruising
Promotion Saguenay has celebrated 20 years of international cruising. On September 15, 2006, Holland America Line’s Amsterdam inaugurated Saguenay’s first international season. Two decades later, it is the second-largest international cruise port on the St. Lawrence.
Promotion Saguenay said in a press release that since then, Saguenay has welcomed nearly 700,000 passengers and hundreds of ships.
“Twenty years after the arrival of the Amsterdam, Saguenay is recognized as a must-visit destination on the Canada–New England cruise itinerary,” said Priscilla Nemey, president and chief executive officer of Promotion Saguenay.
