Sea ice can be a draw for tourists, but it's keeping away cruise ships headed for Corner Brook

Sea ice can be a draw for tourists, but it's keeping away cruise ships headed for Corner BrookCruise ships haven't been able to make it to Corner Brook this year due to sea ice, which has led to four cancelled trips early in the tourism season. Essentially, it means there's too much sea ice around the island for cruise ships to safely travel. Jennifer Hartley, business development manager for the Port of Corner Brook, says the amount of ice is causing trouble for arriving ships. She sells Indigenous crafts and clothing pieces on the Corner Brook dock when cruise ships arrive. The Navigator is still booked to make its first — and final — entry into the Port of Corner Brook on June 30.
